Parul Gulati has found a rather unusual way to respond to the backlash surrounding the latest The Traitors controversy.
The reality show contestant has been facing criticism and accusations of cheating following her appearance on the show. Amid the online trolling, Parul shared a video joking that she had spoken to Meta India and had all her haters’ accounts deleted.
The sarcastic post quickly caught attention because of the timing. Rather than directly addressing every criticism coming her way, Parul appeared to turn the backlash into a joke.
Her response has divided reactions online. Some viewers have seen it as a clever and lighthearted way of dealing with the trolling, while others may feel that the controversy deserved a more direct response.
The situation has also become even more ironic because an older comment from Parul has resurfaced. She had previously commented on a reel joking about how she was so good at catching Traitors that it seemed as though someone was secretly giving her clues about who was cheating.
The comment was clearly made in jest at the time. However, after Parul herself faced cheating allegations, the old interaction suddenly took on a completely different meaning.
Social media users have been quick to point out the irony, once again proving that old comments can return at exactly the wrong moment.
Parul has not confirmed that she actually had anyone’s accounts removed, making the Meta reference clearly part of her sarcastic response to the trolling.
Whether viewers find the comeback funny or dismissive, Parul has certainly managed to keep herself at the centre of the conversation.
And as reality TV fans know all too well, sometimes the internet’s receipts become a story of their own.
