Just imagine you and your bff have basically been joined at the hip for eight years, boasting movie nights, heart-to-hearts, travel diaries, the whole thing. And then you sign up for a reality show. Then she straight-up votes you out of the show in episode one. I mean that is just rude and mean.
This is exactly what happened to Sail Salathia, who confessed what felt utterly like a betrayal not by some shady contestant he barely knew, but by his forever ride-or-die Elnaaz Norouzi.
Right after the Traitors episode dropped, Sahil stormed Instagram, searing Elnaaz’s name into the drama hall of fame. His words were charged with
“What did Elnaaz gain by killing her best friend of eight years…?”
Ouch. And he didn’t stop there—he admitted he hit rock bottom, even though about therapy and admitted feeling suicidal after the betrayal. Talk about a gut punch. He said:
“I was humiliated by my best friend of eight years… I felt worthless.” If his is the way reality TV fandon had imaginary popcorn hiting the floo, then that moment would have broken the bowl.
Now, to know the whole, let us connect some dots. Elnaaz, always the bold player, orchestrates Sahil’s elimination, possibly influenced by fellow traitors Raj Kundra and Purav Jha; she coasted on the alliance adrenaline, but who could have guessed her best friend’s immunity card would be revoked?
Cue the classic jealousy scenario: “Hey, I have known you forever, but that does not save me from getting voted out! What could be the ultimate betrayal recipe: equal parts trust, reality show, strateg,y and a sprinkle of cold-hearted game theory.
Sahil admitted after the show:
“You’ve changed me as a person… I considered therapy.”
That’s not just heartbreak—it’s psychological whiplash. On one hand, his “trust fall” turned into a “knife in the back” moment. On the other, he’s still rooting for her to win… because someone has to explain why trust is a luxury in game shows.
Let’s be fair—Elnaaz was playing the game. She faced massive pushback, recruiting efforts, and survived early elimination rounds. But for some fans, back-stabbing your best buddy in front of millions? That’s beyond strategy—it’s category “Ultra Traitör”. (Yes, we just made that up.)
Reality TV may call them “games,” but for our emotions—they’re gladiator arenas. Sahil got caught in the crossfire between intimacy and faceless competition. And Elnaaz? She’s either the reigning queen of strategy or the witch-troll who broke a friendship contract.
But maybe, just maybe—this whole saga shows that sometimes, the price of the game is your emotional sanity. And if that imaginary friendship ring you wore for eight years is gone… well, maybe it was the game’s design, not the betrayal. Keep Reading Jealosy.in for more updates.
