From fashion reels to reality TV, Sufi Motiwala has officially entered the big leagues. The 21-year-old fashion commentator, already popular on Instagram for his sassy and brutally honest style reviews, is now making headlines as one of the most controversial contestants on Karan Johar’s OTT reality series The Traitors. With his sharp tongue, calm defiance, and viral one-liners, Sufi is proving he’s not just judging celebrity fashion anymore—he’s judging alliances, accusations, and intentions.
The Gen Z Wildcard on The Traitors
Streaming on Amazon Prime Video since June 12, The Traitors is the Hindi adaptation of the internationally acclaimed psychological reality format. The show places 20 celebrities in a game of deception, where a few hidden "traitors" secretly eliminate others, while the rest—known as "faithful,"—must identify and oust the traitors before it's too late.
Among a celebrity-heavy cast including Uorfi Javed, Karan Kundrra, Raftaar, Jasmin Bhasin, and Anshula Kapoor, it’s Sufi Motiwala—arguably the youngest contestant—who’s creating the biggest buzz.
Who Is Sufi Motiwala?
Sufi Motiwala is a 21-year-old content creator best known for his fashion critique reels on Instagram, where he boasts over 373K followers. With a keen eye for design and a no-holds-barred commentary style, he’s built a loyal fan base by dissecting celebrity outfits and calling out “fashion disasters” with fearless sarcasm. His YouTube channel, although smaller with around 4.4K subscribers, adds to his growing digital presence.
In an interview, Sufi revealed that his love for fashion started in the 10th grade. Deeply influenced by digital content and the lifestyle surrounding fashion, he was drawn toward fashion communication and organically transitioned into creating Instagram reels. His commentary style blends humour, attitude, and honesty—an approach now spilling over into his The Traitors gameplay.
Sufi vs Raftaar: A Viral Showdown
Sufi Motiwala’s spotlight moment came early in The Traitors when he clashed with rapper Raftaar during a group task. In Episode 4, Raftaar accused Sufi of being a traitor and openly mocked his strategy, stating, “I know how to dominate you. I’m just going to laugh at you today.” The comment sparked tension that quickly escalated.
In Episode 5, things turned fiery in the “Circle of Shaq,” where contestants debated who might be the traitor. Both Sufi and Raftaar became prime suspects. Sufi tried to take the noble route by voting for himself, hoping to clear suspicion, but the real traitor turned out to be Raftaar.
The drama didn’t end there. When Raftaar lashed out again, targeting not just Sufi but fellow contestant Apoorva Mukhija (Rebel Kid), things boiled over. Raftaar remarked, “Why do only Apoorva and Sufi understand everything? Are the others dumb or what?”
Sufi’s viral response shut down the aggression with composure:
“I’m not your f**ing sidekick, and you will not say anything to me.”*
This moment struck a chord online, with fans hailing Sufi’s grace under pressure and refusal to be belittled.
Not Just Raftaar: Uorfi and Apoorva Also in the Mix
Sufi’s sharp style and strong opinions have earned him both praise and backlash. His ongoing tension with Uorfi Javed—who herself is known for bold fashion choices—spilled over to social media, with both exchanging accusations and jabs on Instagram Stories. Uorfi’s sister even jumped in, calling out Sufi for being “disrespectful.”
Meanwhile, Apoorva and Sufi have been seen as frequent allies on the show, standing up to louder personalities like Raftaar, which has added more fuel to the conflict.
Why Everyone’s Googling Sufi Motiwala Right Now
From reality TV fans to fashion enthusiasts, everyone wants to know more about Sufi. He’s become a standout figure not just because of his Gen Z perspective and unique fashion voice, but also because he’s not afraid to confront big personalities—be it on the red carpet or in the “Circle of Shaq.”
With The Traitors only halfway through its first season, Sufi’s role in the drama is far from over. If anything, it looks like he’s just getting started.
Sufi Motiwala may have entered The Traitors as a fashion influencer, but he's emerging as one of the show’s most compelling personalities. Whether he survives the eliminations or not, he’s already left his mark on Indian reality TV. As the show continues to unravel, one thing’s clear—Sufi is here to serve looks, serve truth, and stir the pot.
