The grand finale weekend of MTV Splitsvilla X6 Pyaar Ya Paisa delivered a spectacular dose of raw reality television friction that almost overshadowed the crowning of the season’s winners. Broadcasted on Saturday, May 16, 2026, across MTV India and JioHotstar, the ultimate episode erupted into intense chaos during the feedback segment featuring the season’s “Mischief Makers.”
The atmosphere turned hostile when second runner-up Niharika Tiwari openly confronted host and Mischief Maker Nia Sharma, accusing her of maintaining a heavily “biased” stance and consistently muting specific contestants throughout the four-month Mahabalipuram schedule.

The confrontation reached a boiling point when Nia Sharma aggressively shut down the allegations of favoritism. “Did I know anybody before this show? No, Niharika,” Nia asserted, maintaining that she had no personal ties to any finalist prior to the launch.
Niharika instantly hit back with a sharp, dismissive retort: “Mujhe bhi aap nahi pata thi” (I didn’t know who you were either). Visibly rattled, Nia attempted to establish administrative hierarchy, reminding the stage that she has maintained a successful 15-year career in the Indian entertainment industry, while the current batch of contestants were flexing a “three-month overnight fame.”
Refusing to back down, Niharika turned to her partner Sorab Bedi and loudly mocked Nia’s arguments on a live mic: “Kya baat kar rahi hai ye faltu ki? 3 mahine mein fame mila hai kya mere ko?” (What rubbish is she talking? Did I just get fame in three months?) causing Nia to completely freeze on camera before the main hosts, Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra, stepped in to restore order.
Netizens Divided: The “Gullu’s Girlfriend” Jibe Trends on X
The unfiltered exchange immediately triggered a massive wave of activity on social media, dividing the Splitsvilla fandom into two passionate camps. Supporters of Niharika celebrated her fearlessness, aggressively trending the phrase “Niharika Tiwari Bajaod Nia Sharma” across X (formerly Twitter).
Fans pointed out that Nia seemed to forget her lines the moment Niharika pushed back, with several users accusing the host of spending the entire season acting like a protective wing woman for the eventual winner, Kushal Tanwar (Gullu).
Conversely, Nia’s loyal fanbase heavily criticized Niharika’s behavior as disrespectful and arrogant, arguing that she was deliberately fabricating a fight with an established celebrity to cling to temporary social media relevance as her season wrapped up.
