Krystle D'Souza, Rida Tharana Win The Traitors Season 2 With Rs 66 Lakhs

Krystle D'Souza and Rida Tharana have been crowned the winners of the second season of the reality game show "The Traitors," taking home a shared prize pot of Rs 66 lakhs. The finale, which aired on Thursday, September 3, 2026, saw the two contestants, who were both Traitors, defeat the remaining Innocents to claim the victory. The season, hosted by Karan Johar, concluded with a tense final episode. In the lead-up to the finale, actress Mallika Sherawat was eliminated after being "murdered" by the Traitors during the night phase. This left five contestants-Krystle, Rida, Shalini Passi, Sahil Salathia, and Dalip Tahil-to compete in the final mission and subsequent eliminations. The final mission required the remaining players to collect gold bars from bags placed on camels, adding Rs 17,60,000 to the existing prize pot of Rs 48,40,000. This brought the total prize money to Rs 66 lakhs. Following the mission, the contestants gathered for the final Circle of Shaq, a deliberation where players debate and vote to banish suspected Traitors. During this session, Dalip Tahil was voted out and eliminated from the game.
