  • Nia Sharma opposed body shaming and name-calling on MTV Splitsvilla X6
  • Nia shared her own struggles with makeup and urged women to support each other
  • Uorfi Javed backed Nia's stance against remarks on appearance and stature

MTV Splitsvilla X6 has started, and in a big way. This season promises twice the excitement, enjoyment, and drama, with contestants split between two villas: the Paisa Villa and the Pyaar Villa.

In addition to two villas and two hosts (Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra), the program features two Mischief Makers. Uorfi Javed has been kept as a Mischief Maker, and Nia Sharma has also come on board as the second Mischief Maker.

Although MTV Splitsvilla primarily revolves around contestants seeking romance, it frequently highlights stories and experiences shared by the hosts and other significant figures involved in the show. In the last episode, Nia Sharma strongly opposed body shaming and name-calling during the show.

In the episode, contestant Keona revealed that Kaira remarked on her makeup, her dark circles, and her deficiencies in makeup skills. Subsequently, Kaira remarked on Niharika's stature as well. This made Nia annoyed, and she firmly opposed body shaming and name-calling, particularly concerning physical looks.

Nia mentioned that she also was unaware of how to use make-up during her early years, and it required her 15 years to develop the confidence she has today. She also mentioned that she has dark circles as well and asked Kaira if she would be able to express the same things to her that she shared with Keona.

She reflected on her own path, expressing how she also lacked knowledge of makeup when she initially joined the industry. Uorfi also backed Nia. Nia asked, “What’s the origin of this height problem? Face, with makeup or without makeup? Are you unaware of what's happening? Is that what you're arguing over? I have under-eye circles and I can come here without makeup and maintain the same demeanor. Putting everything else aside, you’re not allowed to make remarks about a person's appearance or stature. You ought to feel embarrassed about your actions. This does not define us now. How can you make that remark about a girl when you are a girl too?"

Nia promoted the idea that women ought to support each other rather than undermine one another, particularly regarding their looks.
