But, in both the reality shows that I have won, I have never relied on strategy. If there\u2019s a task in a show then I\u2019m very strategic about it but I don\u2019t manipulate people for my benefit. I manipulate them so that they also have their own interest\u201d.\u201cI\u2019m like an agent, if I\u2019m manipulating someone then the other person also has 20% benefit rather than it benefitting me 100%. I don\u2019t want to hurt people. My game was very simple, if I\u2019m a traitor, I would save myself. If I\u2019m not a traitor then I would identify the traitor\u201d, he added.Meanwhile, \u2018The Traitors\u2019 featured 21 contestants from entertainment, television, social media, food and other backgrounds, including Munawar Faruqui, Mallika Sherawat, Shweta Tiwari, Rhea Chakraborty, Abhishek Malhan, Shalini Passi and Ranveer Brar.
