The Story in Brief
Munawar Faruqui was evicted in the first Circle of Shaq on The Traitors Season 2 after receiving the most votes. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said he was upset because contestants knew he was not a traitor but still targeted him. Munawar said he defended himself but could not change the vote. He called the move part of the game and said he had moved on.
Hindustan Times reports that Abhishek Malhan helped persuade contestants to vote against Munawar. After the eviction, the two exchanged pointed Instagram Stories. Munawar suggested that contestants seeking an alliance should join a show where group work decides the game. Abhishek replied that Munawar was hurt. The show streams new episodes every Thursday on Amazon Prime Video.
The Indian Opinion
The easy reading is that Munawar was either robbed or that Abhishek simply outplayed him. Both claims flatten a format built on suspicion, persuasion and early alliances. Munawar’s popularity may have made him a tempting target, but his public frustration also gave the episode its conflict. The fair test is not social-media taunts. It is whether the remaining contestants can identify the traitors before the finale.
