About The Splitsvilla 16 Controversy
The controversy began when Yogesh, who had a strong connection with Akanksha, was faced with Ruru’s entry as a wildcard. During a key task, he chose Ruru and declared, “I love Ruru,” leaving Akanksha visibly upset.
Speculations about a scripted breakup quickly spread online. Fans questioned whether Ruru’s return was planned to create drama. Ruru shared WhatsApp screenshots from November 2025, showing she only learned about Yogesh’s participation through his brother after he had already entered the villa.
The drama intensified with a promo showing host Sunny Leone confronting Yogesh for not defending Akanksha. She was seen telling the production team, “Either he is gonna stay, or I am gonna stay.”
Online Fallout And Clarifications By Yogesh Rawat
Yogesh explained on a podcast that he had switched off his phone before joining the show. Ruru countered that she had contacted his brother during that period, raising questions about transparency.
Following the episodes, Yogesh reportedly lost over 20,000 Instagram followers. He later released a clarification video, stating that his feelings for Akanksha were real but admitting he was confused by Ruru’s sudden re-entry.
