The dating reality show MTV Splitsvilla X6 keeps sparking discussions with each new episode, and the recent Dome session has split opinions among viewers. What started as a heated exchange between competitors quickly escalated into one of the most intense clashes of the season.

As responses flooded in online, Soundharya has now come forward to present her perspective, detailing what motivated her response.

Following the airing of the episode, Soundharya utilized Instagram stories to explain her position and respond to the criticism. She clarified that her response was not impulsive or unfounded but rather a consequence of ongoing verbal assaults that were profoundly painful and provocative. She claimed that numerous remarks made prior to the Dome fight did not reach the final cut.

Soundharya disclosed that comments regarding parents, age-related insults such as "auntie" and "buddi," derogatory slurs, jibes based on nationality, and incessant verbal attacks had been directed at her. She emphasized that those words go too far and that at times silencing someone serves as a means of safeguarding oneself. She also recognized that audience viewpoints shift with each episode and expressed gratitude to those who opted for compassion even without the complete picture.

Soundharya made it clear that she does not wish for any contestant to be targeted with hate. She encouraged her fans and followers to be thoughtful and compassionate, stating that she would never endorse negativity toward anyone. Concluding her message serenely, she emphasized the importance of selecting peace and love, even amidst turmoil.

For the uninitiated, the conflict escalated when Akanksha and Sadhaaf engaged in a fierce disagreement during the Dome. With tensions increasing, Suzanne intervened to assist Akanksha, which only intensified the situation. Sadhaaf, already frustrated by previous conflicts with Suzzane, shifted her anger towards Suzzane and issued a menacing warning about complicating her life in the villa. The situation escalated when Sadhaaf shoved Suzanne, surprising all those there.

In the midst of the turmoil, Suzanne attempted to voice her opinion, but Soundharya retorted, yelling at her to be silent. The incident rapidly became viral, leaving viewers curious about Soundharya's response.
