Meet Janvee Gaurr: ‘The Traitors’ contestant at the center of ‘Kaala Jaadu’ accusations

Karan Johar has made a striking return to the OTT space with the Hindi adaptation of the American reality show The Traitors. Premiering on June 12, 2025, the series has quickly become a sensation for its intense gameplay, unpredictable plot twists, and a house full of high-profile contestants. In just a week, it has managed to capture the audience’s attention with dramatic evictions, confrontations, and a charged atmosphere that blurs the line between trust and betrayal.

Who is Janvee Gaurr in 'The Traitors'?

However, the intrigue inside the house has now extended far beyond the screen. A surprising controversy has erupted involving one of the contestants, Janvee Gaurr. Stand-up comedian and fellow contestant Harsh Gujral recently stirred the pot by accusing Janvee of practicing kaala jaadu (black magic), an allegation that has raised eyebrows and added a new layer of tension to the show.

For those unfamiliar, Janvee Gaurr isn’t just another reality TV face. She is a well-known tarot card reader, Vedic astrologer, and spiritual life coach with a loyal Instagram following of over 64,000. Often seen sharing insights, astrological guidance, and spiritual wisdom, Janvee’s content aims to empower her followers in navigating personal and professional challenges through cosmic alignment and energy work.

Despite her spiritual background and emphasis on positive transformation, Harsh’s sarcastic remark about her supposed use of black magic did not go unnoticed. What may have been intended as a joke quickly escalated, leading Janvee to emotionally withdraw from other contestants, indicating the deep impact such comments can have.

As the drama unfolds, viewers are now more curious than ever about who Janvee Gaurr really is. Her unique presence on the show is rooted in spiritualism and has not only sparked debates but also highlighted the thin line between belief and superstition in mainstream discourse. With tension rising, one thing is certain: The Traitors has delivered far more than just entertainment, it's ignited conversations around mysticism, perception, and personal identity.
