Karan Johar is all set to host a new reality show featuring 20 contestants -- some are 'innocents' while the others are 'traitors'.

The game is simple: To win the big cash prize, a traitor must be eliminated at the end of each episode.

The Traitors premieres on Amazon Prime Video on June 12.

Before we watch the show, Namrata Thakker profiles some of the contestants like Elnaaz Norouzi.
