Who is Shahneel, Shubman Gill's sister rumoured to join The Traitors 2?
Cricketer Shubman Gill's sister Shahneel Gill is reportedly set to join The Traitors 2. Here's all you need to know about the influencer, her career and reality show debut.
Shahneel Gill has largely been known to cricket fans as Shubman Gill’s elder sister, often seen in the stands backing the India batter. That may soon change, with reports suggesting she is set to join the second season of The Traitors, Karan Johar’s reality show built around strategy, deception and shifting alliances.
If the reports are accurate, the show could become Shahneel’s biggest public outing yet. It would place her in a very different space from the cricket grounds and social media world she is usually associated with, while bringing fresh attention to a figure who has so far kept much of her life private.
Born in Fazilka, Punjab, Shahneel reportedly studied in Chandigarh before moving to Canada. There, she completed a diploma in business administration.
She later worked as a success consultant with a food delivery company, giving her a corporate background before she began building a stronger public profile online.
In recent years, Shahneel has built a strong social media presence as a lifestyle and fashion influencer. She has 477K followers, and her posts regularly offer glimpses of her travels, fitness routines and personal style.
Despite that visibility, she is known to keep her personal life relatively private. She is often seen supporting Shubman Gill during matches, and the siblings’ close bond has frequently drawn attention. Her appearances at cricket events and candid moments with her brother have added to her recognition.
Her reported entry into The Traitors 2 would place her in a very different setting from the one she is best known for. Unlike seasoned reality television contestants, she is said to be entering the format without prior experience, which would put her in a new kind of competitive space shaped by trust, mind games and shifting alliances.
It would also add her name to a growing list of cricketers’ siblings appearing on reality shows, including Deepak Chahar’s sister Malti in Bigg Boss 19 and Shreyas Iyer’s sister Shreshta in Lock Upp.
What we know about The Traitors 2
The Indian adaptation of the American reality show launched last year and quickly became a fan favourite. After unveiling the first promo of the new season, the makers confirmed Munawar Faruqui and Mallika Sherawat as contestants.
India Today has also learnt that Shweta Tiwari, YouTuber Abhishek Malhan, also known as Fukra Insaan, and comedian Aditya Kulshrestha, popularly known as Kullu, are part of the show. Shweta has previously appeared in reality shows such as Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and also won Bigg Boss 4. Abhishek made his reality show debut with Bigg Boss OTT 2 and finished as the first runner-up. Kullu, a known face in the comedy circuit, also made his acting debut in Loveyapa alongside Junaid Khan.
The second season is set to stream every Thursday on Prime Video from August 13, 2026, with 21 celebrities from the entertainment industry coming together for a game of strategy and deception. The shoot took place at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer in March, where the cast filmed with host Karan Johar for around two weeks.
Reports have also named Rhea Chakraborty, Shalini Passi, Dalip Tahil, Elvish Yadav, Rubina Dilaik, Soundous Moufakir, Krystle Dsouza, Parul Gulati, Harman Baweja and Shahneel Gill as contestants. The season is being produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, which has taken over from BBC Studios. The team said the new instalment would be “bigger, bolder, and more dramatic” while staying true to the show’s “raw, unpredictable, and psychologically gripping essence”.
