The fashion police have arrived at The Traitors castle. A deleted scene from the reality show’s second season has created quite a stir. Socialite Shalini Passi has openly questioned Mallika Sherawat‘s claim about wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress on the show. Passi says the dress is not a genuine piece from the luxury Italian brand. She claims she saw the label while helping Sherawat with her microphone and knew right away that something was off.
The first three episodes of The Traitors Season 2 are already streaming on Prime Video. They have brought plenty of drama, eliminations, and a traitor reveal. But this deleted scene, released by the makers on August 18, 2026, has added a whole new layer of entertainment. It shows a fashion moment turning into a full-blown debate about authenticity and luxury labels.
The Deleted Scene That Started the Debate
In the unaired clip, Mallika Sherawat shows off her green dress to the other contestants. She proudly says she chose a Dolce & Gabbana outfit for the day. Sherawat, known for her bold fashion choices, seemed happy with her look.
But Shalini Passi did not buy it. She gathered some of the other women – Shweta Tiwari, Rhea Chakraborty, and Rida Tharana – for a private chat. Passi then made her feelings very clear. She said she had worn Dolce dresses for years and knew what the real ones looked like. According to her, Sherawat’s dress just did not match up.
“Just a week ago, I wore a green and gold dress of Dolce, and it is not like this. I went to adjust her mic and saw the brand. She is lying. I have worn these dresses since I was 17-18. I have custom-made, and I can send you pictures. I have worn a Versace couture too and an Elie Saab dress. This is not it.”
‘The Fitting Is Bad’ – Shalini Passi’s Sharp Fashion Critique
Passi did not stop at just questioning the label. She also had thoughts about how the dress looked on Sherawat. She added a simple but sharp comment: “The fitting is bad”. This was a direct blow to the overall look.
Rhea Chakraborty then joined the conversation. She shared a past fashion talk she had with Mallika. Rhea said she had asked Mallika about the brand O’Polly before coming on the show. Mallika had called it “very tacky” and “a very glittery dress”. This detail made the moment even more interesting. It showed that Mallika had strong opinions about other brands, which made Passi’s claim even more pointed.
Mallika Sherawat’s Other Bold Claims on The Traitors 2
The dress debate is not the only thing making headlines about Mallika Sherawat on the show. Another clip from The Traitors 2 has gone viral. In that clip, Sherawat made a surprising claim about Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
When fellow contestant Kullu asked if she had ever had a crush on someone, Mallika replied with her usual confidence. She said, “Everybody has a crush on me”. She then went further, saying, “Tom Cruise is crushing on me lately. I am not lying. If I had my phone with me, I would have shown you the videos”. When asked what kind of videos, she clarified they were of them partying together. This statement has also become a hot topic among fans.
Shalini Passi’s Fashion Credibility and Show Moments
Shalini Passi has made it clear that she knows her fashion. She has been wearing designer clothes since she was a teenager. She has worn pieces from Versace and Elie Saab. Her confidence in calling out the fake dress comes from this personal experience. She even offered to send pictures of her own Dolce dresses to prove her point.
This is not the first time Passi has caused a stir on the show. On the very first day, she made a mistake with Munawar Faruqui’s name. She misheard it as “Munawar Falguni” and asked if he was a singer. That moment also went viral. Munawar was later eliminated from the show after being wrongly identified as a traitor.
What This Means for The Traitors Season 2
The Traitors Season 2 is hosted by Karan Johar. It features a mix of 21 celebrity contestants. The show is a game of strategy and deception. Contestants must figure out who the traitors are among the innocent players. The fashion debate adds a new and unexpected layer of drama to the game.
The deleted scene has given viewers a peek behind the curtain. It shows the kind of conversations that happen off-camera. The clash between Mallika and Shalini is a perfect example of how personalities on the show create entertainment beyond the main game. Mallika presents herself as a glamorous, luxury-loving diva. Shalini positions herself as a fashion expert who can spot a fake from a mile away.
