The mind games on Amazon Prime Video’s highly anticipated reality show, The Traitors Season 2, are definitely not limited to catching the hidden traitors! The off-mission drama is serving just as much entertainment, and at the center of the latest massive controversy are Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat and Delhi socialite Shalini Passi.
After a deleted scene went viral featuring Shalini accusing Mallika of wearing a “fake” luxury dress, the internet has been completely divided. Now, staying true to her unabashed and unapologetic persona, Mallika has finally broken her silence, delivering a sassy comeback that is breaking the internet.
Here is a complete breakdown of the “fake dress” drama, what Shalini Passi claimed, and how Mallika Sherawat ruthlessly shut it down!
The Trigger: Shalini Passi’s “Fake Dress” Accusation
The fiery fashion feud began when the makers of The Traitors 2 released a deleted, unaired clip from the first three episodes. In the video, Mallika is seen confidently flaunting a deep green, floor-length shimmery gown with a plunging neckline, proudly announcing to the other contestants that it is a Dolce & Gabbana creation.
However, socialite Shalini Passi was entirely unconvinced. Later in the clip, Shalini pulls aside fellow contestants Shweta Tiwari, Rhea Chakraborty, and Rida Tharana to privately debunk Mallika’s fashion flex.
“Just a week ago, I wore a green and gold dress of Dolce, and it is not like this,” Shalini claimed in the clip. “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.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Rhea Chakraborty chimed in, recalling how Mallika had previously called the popular brand O’Polly “very tacky” and “glittery,” while Shalini bluntly concluded that the fitting of Mallika’s green dress was simply “bad”.
“It’s My Figure, My Glamour”: Mallika’s Iconic Clapback
If there is one thing everyone knows about the Murder actress, it is that she never takes a slight lying down.
Addressing the viral controversy, Mallika Sherawat hit back in her trademark, unapologetic style. Refusing to validate the accusations with a receipt or an explanation of her wardrobe, the actress confidently turned the narrative around, suggesting that her effortless beauty was the real root of the problem.
Hitting back at the petty gossip, Mallika declared: “It’s my dress, my figure, my glamour. If my glamour is causing jealousy…”
Her fierce response perfectly encapsulates the main character energy she has brought to the reality show, reminding viewers exactly why she remains one of Bollywood’s most unbothered and iconic divas.
Mallika is Making Headlines on The Traitors 2
The green dress debate is just one of many moments keeping Mallika Sherawat in the spotlight this season.
She recently went viral for a hilarious exchange with comedian Kullu, where she confidently declared that she doesn’t get crushes, but rather, “Everybody has a crush on me.” She even went on to claim that Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise has been crushing on her lately, stating she has videos of them partying together to prove it!
Furthermore, the actress openly confirmed speculations that she is the highest-paid contestant on the show. Unapologetic about her worth, she stated, “Why apologise for making money? When you’re independent… money is always important because you have bills to pay and a lifestyle to maintain.”
With Mallika and Shalini bringing top-tier reality TV drama, fans are eagerly waiting to see if this off-screen fashion feud will spill over into the upcoming roundtable banishments!
