Mallika Sherawat’s Dolce & Gabbana Dress Sparks Fashion Debate on The Traitors 2

A fashion-related exchange between Mallika Sherawat and Shalini Passi has become one of the talking points from the early episodes of The Traitors Season 2.

The reality show has already delivered suspicion, alliances and unexpected confrontations, but a recently released deleted scene brought a different kind of debate into the spotlight: whether Mallika Sherawat’s green dress was actually from Dolce & Gabbana.

The claim remains unverified, and Mallika has not publicly responded to Shalini’s comments in the clip.

Shalini Passi Questions Mallika Sherawat’s Fashion Claim

In the deleted scene, Mallika can be seen showing her green dress to fellow contestants and identifying it as a Dolce & Gabbana creation.

Later, Shalini discusses the outfit with Shweta Tiwari, Rida Tharana and Rhea Chakraborty. Shalini expresses doubt about Mallika’s claim, saying she had recently worn a green-and-gold Dolce & Gabbana dress herself.

“Just a week ago, I wore a green and gold dress of Dolce, and it is not like this,” Shalini says in the clip.

She then claims that she had seen the label while helping adjust Mallika’s microphone.

“She is lying. I have worn these dresses since I was 17-18. I have custom-made, and I can send you pictures. I have worn a Versace couture too and an Elie Saab dress. This is not it,” Shalini says.

The exchange has since attracted attention among viewers, particularly because fashion and personal style have been an important part of both contestants’ public personas.

A Fashion Debate, Not a Confirmed Brand Dispute

Despite the discussion, there is currently no independent confirmation that Mallika misrepresented the designer of her dress.

Shalini’s remarks in the deleted scene represent her own assessment of the outfit. Without confirmation from Mallika, Dolce & Gabbana or the show’s production team, the authenticity or provenance of the dress cannot be established from the clip alone.

The moment has nevertheless added another layer to the unpredictable dynamics inside The Traitors, where even casual conversations can quickly become subjects of scrutiny.

Shalini Passi Has Already Delivered Viral Moments

This is not Shalini’s first memorable moment on the second season.

Earlier in the show, she mistakenly referred to Munawar Faruqui as “Munawar Falguni” and subsequently asked about his profession while appearing to assume he was a singer.

The interaction quickly became a talking point among viewers and social media users.

Munawar later became the first major elimination from the game after receiving the highest number of votes during the first Circle of Suspicion. He was identified as a Traitor during the process, although the episode revealed that he was actually innocent.

The Traitors 2 Continues With a Large Contestant Line-Up

With the game progressing, the competition has already seen several contestants leave the show.

The supplied episode information lists Aaditya Kulshreshth, also known as Kullu, Abhishek Malhan, Ansh Chopra, Harman Singha, Ikka Singh, Krystle D’Souza, Mallika Sherawat, Parul Gulati, Prish, Ranveer Brar, Rhea Chakraborty, Rida Tharana, Sahil Salathia, Shahneel Gill, Shalini Passi, Shweta Tiwari, Soundous Moufakir and Tanya Puri among the contestants still involved in the competition.

The season brings together actors, creators, television personalities, entertainers and public figures, creating a mix of contrasting personalities and strategies.

What to Expect From The Traitors Season 2

The second season continues to build its game around deception, alliances and suspicion, with contestants attempting to identify the Traitors while protecting their own positions.

The early episodes have already produced eliminations and disagreements, and the Mallika-Shalini fashion exchange demonstrates how conversations away from the central game can become major talking points.

For viewers, the unanswered question surrounding the green dress is likely to remain part of the conversation unless Mallika or the brand itself provides clarification.

The Traitors Season 2 is streaming on Prime Video.
