In a move to put an end to swirling social media rumors, Splitsvilla 16 star Yogesh Rawat has officially clarified his status with former partner Akanksha Choudhary. During a recent LIVE session on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Yogesh addressed claims made by fellow contestant Sorab Bedi regarding a supposed “reunion” at Jaipur Fashion Week.
Yogesh firmly stated that while they were physically present at the same venue, there was no interaction, let alone a reconciliation. “First of all, mujhe aise bhot awkward ho gaya,” he admitted, describing the discomfort of a sudden, unplanned encounter in a professional setting.
The reality star explained that he had traveled to Jaipur for a late-night fashion show and was unaware that Akanksha would be there. He dismissed the “reunion” label as an exaggeration, noting that in the entertainment industry, crossing paths is inevitable.
“You call this a reunion? It’s the same industry. We are bound to bump into each other,” he remarked, further mentioning that he had also seen her at Uorfi Javed’s party recently without any drama. Yogesh’s clarification aims to silence the “cheating” and “reconnection” narratives that have plagued his digital footprint since the explosive Splitsvilla 16 finale.
The history between the two remains a point of high interest for fans, following the on-show rift caused by the entry of Yogesh’s ex, Ruru Thakur. While Yogesh eventually chose to reconnect with Ruru on the show, that relationship also reached a final breaking point recently. With Ruru confirming their split is permanent, the “drama that dominated the season” seems to have entered a new, quieter chapter where all parties are focused on their individual careers amidst a packed April 2026 news cycle.
