  • Yogesh advises fans to ignore edited clips and social media stories.

Reality show MTV Splitsvilla season 16 continues to make headlines, and the latest buzz revolves around contestant Yogesh Rawat, who has finally addressed the ongoing drama involving Ruru Thakur and Akanksha Choudhary.

The controversy began after a love triangle narrative emerged on the show following Ruru’s wildcard entry. Yogesh, who was initially paired with Akanksha, was later linked to Ruru, sparking intense reactions from fans and leading to online debates.

Breaking his silence, Yogesh addressed the situation and dismissed the speculation, hinting that much of the drama is exaggerated for “TRP.” Yogesh revealed that he was "confused as f**k" when he saw Ruru on the show. He urged fans not to jump to conclusions based on edited clips or social media narratives, suggesting that reality shows often present a selective version of events to heighten entertainment value.

Calling out the makers, Yogesh said, "TRP ke liye ye cheez kar sakte hain ye log (makers), jab Splitsvilla chalu hua tha tab bhi maine confirmation li thi ki tumlog kahi mere sath ye ex wala scene to nahi karoge." He claimed he had a gut feeling this scenario might happen. The makers allegedly replied, "Tune kabhi dekha hai ki koi 2 season ek sath kare."

The ongoing drama has only intensified curiosity among viewers, especially as the dynamics between the trio continue to evolve on-screen. Reports suggest that Ruru’s entry significantly changed equations inside the villa, leaving Akanksha heartbroken as her connection with Yogesh weakened.
