India’s most loved youth dating reality show is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. MTV Splitsvilla X6: Pyaar ya Paisa is all set to premiere on January 9, 2026, promising a season packed with tougher choices, sharper twists, and unapologetic drama. For the first time, the show will air three days a week, every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7 pm on MTV India and JioHotstar, giving fans more action and chaos than ever before.

The new season brings back the familiar faces that viewers love. Queen of Hearts Sunny Leone, who recently completed a decade-long association with the franchise, returns as host, joined by the charismatic Karan Kundrra. Adding fuel to the fire are the season’s mischief makers, Nia Sharma and Uorfi, who will tempt, test, and trouble contestants at every turn.

Set against the stunning coastal backdrop of Mahabalipuram, the show features 32 hot and single contestants who enter the villa with one goal: to win either love or money. The core twist of the season lies in the division of contestants into two zones, the Pyaar Villa and the Paisa Villa. Relationships, loyalty, and strategy will constantly clash as emotions and ambition collide. The format also picks up threads from the previous season, adding continuity and raising curiosity among long-time fans.

Speaking about the new season, Sunny Leone shared that Splitsvilla mirrors how relationships and choices evolve with every generation. With the Pyaar ya Paisa twist, she believes emotions will be tested and bonds challenged in unexpected ways. Karan Kundrra echoed this sentiment, calling his return to MTV a homecoming and expressing excitement about seeing how contestants navigate love when money complicates every decision.

Presented by Instax Fujifilm and co-powered by Sofy, NEWME, Envy Perfumes, and Philips Body Groomer, MTV Splitsvilla X6: Pyaar ya Paisa promises sparks, betrayals, and unforgettable moments. When love and money share the same villa, the question remains: kya jeetega pyaar ya paisa?
