While discussing Indian reality show The Traitors:Abhinandan: What’s the point of reviewing trash? Like what’s the point?Rajyasree: So, the reason why I watched it is because I have seen bits and pieces of The Traitors UK…They’re genuinely funny, they know that it’s campy, that it’s ridiculous that they’re walking around in a cape and all…Abhinandan: So that’s why we’re reviewing the Karan Johar version? Rajyasree: So, I wanted to see how India has – as usual – taken a good concept, a funny concept where you’re not supposed to be serious about it, and fucked it up.
