In the stressful conditions of reality TV shows, contestants are often thrust into unfamiliar environments and forced to make tough decisions. Anshula Kapoor's experience on 'The Traitors' was no exception. The show's unique format, which combines elements of betrayal and suspense with reality TV, added to the stress and tension.

One of the most challenging aspects of the show, as Anshula mentioned, was the isolation. Contestants were subjected to strict rules, including no intercoms in the rooms, blacked-out room numbers, and wind chimes outside the door to signal when they shouldn't leave their rooms. This isolation, combined with the pressure of filming, took a significant toll on Anshula's mental health.

"It was traumatising... It was not about filming long hours, it was about the content, the conversations, and the environment of the house... We were just captive in our rooms not doing anything, we were not allowed to leave the room," shared Kapoor during her interview with The Quint.

After the show, Anshula was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The diagnosis was a turning point, forcing her to confront the trauma she had experienced during the show. Anshula's experience serves as a wake-up call for the reality TV industry. As we continue to indulge in the drama and suspense of these programs, it's essential to acknowledge the potential costs to the mental health of those involved.
