The conversation took place between Sherawat and other contestants, including comedian Aditya Kulshreshth (Kullu) and YouTuber Abhishek Malhan (Fukraa Insaan). When Kullu asked her if she had ever had a crush on someone or if everyone had a crush on her, Sherawat gave a bold response.
“Everyone has had a crush on me. Tom Cruise has had a crush on me recently. I’m not lying. If I had a phone, I would’ve shown you his videos.”
When other contestants asked what kind of videos she was referring to, Sherawat clarified they were from when they were partying together. She also called the Mission: Impossible star “fabulous.”

Sherawat initially did not want to do a reality show. In an interview, she shared that she was very hesitant about joining The Traitors at first. She said it didn’t excite her as an actor.
Her manager, Ankita Anthony, convinced her to watch the first season before making a final decision. Anthony told her, “Just see it. After watching season one, if you don’t like it, we’ll decline. But don’t say no without seeing it.” After watching the show, Sherawat loved it and agreed to participate.
