Days into the new year, the love season is knocking at the door, albeit on screen. For all the fans of reality TV show, Splitsvilla, the wait for the 16th edition is now merely two-day long. MTV Splitsvilla X6 is set to premiere on January 9, with actor Sunny Leone returning as its host. Apart from MTV, the dating show will also be available on JioHotstar. For the first time in the show’s history, it will arrive thrice a week, Friday-Sunday at 7 pm.
Joining Leone will be actor Karan Kundrra, marking his debut as the show’s host. Previously, Kundrra appeared as a guest on the show, during its eighth season. Two more popular faces will be joining the show, Uorfi and Nia Sharma, both as “mischief makers”.
The new is set against the scenic coast of Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, where 32 single girls and boys will feature as contestants. The tagline for the show this time is: ‘Pyaar ya Paisa'. In a new twist, the series will pick up from where ex-contestants Digvijay and Kashish left off last season. The contestants will be divided into the ‘Pyaar Villa’ and the ‘Paisa Villa’, where love and money come into play.
Sunny Leone shares her excitement
Sharing her excitement for the new edition, Leone said, “Splitsvilla has always been very close to my heart because it reflects how love, relationships and choices keep evolving with every generation. Over the years, I’ve seen the show grow with changing mindsets, dating styles and the realities of modern love. This season, with the ‘Pyaar ya Paisa’ twist, the stakes are higher than ever, emotions will be tested, bonds will be challenged and surprises will come from the most unexpected places. I’m truly excited to take this journey once again and can’t wait for all the Splitspaglus to witness the drama, passion and twists unfold from 9th January onwards.”
Karan Kundrra on returning to the show
Co-host Kundrra reflected on his return to the show after six years. “It feels like a true homecoming and MTV Splitsvilla has always been one of the channel’s most iconic shows. I am super excited to host this season alongside Sunny Leone, who knows the game inside out. What excites me most is seeing how contestants navigate this journey of love when money enters the picture and challenges their choices. It will also be interesting to watch how our mischief-makers, Nia and Uorfi, stir things up and tempt the contestants at every step. And with the show airing three times a week, there’s clearly going to be a lot more drama, fun and unexpected twists coming your way.”
