Splitsvilla episode 7, which aired on January 23, 2026, depicted a major shift in alliances as Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, experienced a dramatic reversal of fortune during the Power Chamber session. Aired at 7 PM IST on MTV India and streamed on JioCinema, the episode carefully traced the unraveling of an alliance that had once appeared nearly unbeatable
Gullu’s Early Confidence Sets the Tone in Splitsvilla X6 Episode 7
At the very start of the episode, Gullu projected complete control over the villa, confidently asserting that almost everyone was standing with him. His alliance, often described within the villa as a tightly knit group, had already influenced votes and decisions in previous episodes, and that momentum appeared intact as Episode 7 opened. With Vishu, his closest friend, and Kaira, his connection, both safe and occupying positions of power, the numbers seemed firmly in Gullu’s favor. The early dynamics reflected this confidence, as contestants such as Niharika, Ashmita, and Ron found themselves repeatedly targeted by Gullu’s side, reinforcing the impression that his group still dictated the direction of the game.
As the episode progressed, however, cracks began to surface. Tensions inside the villa escalated into open confrontations, most notably a heated clash involving Gullu and Anushka. Simultaneously, Mohit’s growing dissatisfaction came to the forefront, as he felt increasingly sidelined and disconnected from the alliance’s inner workings.
Ultimately, Gullu was left with a much smaller circle of support, with Gauresh, Kaira, Khushi, and Jhalak remaining by his side. Episode 7 thus marked a clear narrative shift in Splitsvilla 16, showing how quickly dominance can dissolve when trust erodes.
