The Traitors: Nikita Luther Shocks Traitors Elnaaz Norouzi & Purav Jha, Refuses to Accept Power*

Professional poker player Nikita Luther, known for being India’s only female to win a World Series of Poker bracelet, is now making waves in the world of reality shows. Currently seen on Amazon Prime reality show The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar, Nikita made a shocking comeback in the latest episodes after being the first contestant eliminated.

In a dramatic turn of events, Traitors Purav Jha and Elnaaz Norouzi were given the power to recruit a new member instead of eliminating someone. They chose Nikita hoping to bring her into their secret circle. Nikita turned down the offer; says, "Personally, I will enjoy playing the game as an innocent," she said, rejecting the chance to switch sides. Elaborating on her reason, she added, "Mujhe bluff pakadne mein zyada mazza aata hai than bluff karne mein, kyunki bluff toh sab karte hain, par sab pakad nahi paate."

Purav expressed his disappointment, saying, "Nikita ne reject kar diya, main bohot zyada disappoint hua." Elnaaz also reacted, stating, "Usne accept nahi kiya, iska matlab hai humare paas ek aur extra player tha jise hum maar sakte the, ya jise hum recruit kar sakte the jo ab dono hi nahi ho paya."

Purav later revealed that he had been considering teaming up with Nikita to eliminate Elnaaz, whom he found too quick to make decisions.

Meanwhile, the game took another intense turn as innocents Maheep Kapoor, Raftaar, and Ashish Vidyarthi were eliminated during the Circle of Shaq, with the remaining contestants mistakenly suspecting them of being Traitors.

Nikita’s refusal to join the Traitors adds a new layer of intrigue to the game, making her comeback not just a return but a statement.
