MTV’s dating reality series Splitsvilla X6 has once again found itself at the center of intense online discussion after a video clip showing contestants Yogesh Rawat and Diksha Pawar sharing a hug circulated widely across social media platforms. The moment, brief but visually striking, prompted debate among viewers and co-contestants regarding the nature of the interaction. Among those who publicly commented was Kashish Kapoor, who addressed the clip on her YouTube channel in an episode titled The Wheel of Power’s Fallout Ep – 16 | From My Eyes. In the video, Kashish conveyed that in her view the hug did not appear friendly and described it as more intimate than casual. She indicated that she personally would not embrace a friend in a similar manner, framing her remarks as an interpretation of what was shown in the viral footage.
Himanshu Arora Criticizes YouTube Commentary as Debate Extends Beyond the Show
The controversy expanded when Himanshu Arora, identified as Diksha Pawar’s boyfriend, responded publicly to the commentary. In his statement, he criticized Kashish’s review, describing her mindset in strong terms and characterizing her remarks about Diksha and Yogesh as inappropriate. He further stated that it was disappointing to see one woman publicly criticize another and referenced Kashish’s past appearances on national television while questioning her position to comment on others’ character. Concluding with sarcasm, he suggested that future responses could be drafted with reference to online discussion forums, implying that her opinions were influenced by digital commentary.
According to publicly available posts and the YouTube episode itself, Kashish has not issued a direct rebuttal to Himanshu’s statement. However, she recently shared a photograph accompanied by a caption indicating awareness of criticism, a move that viewers have interpreted as an indirect acknowledgment of the situation. The episode underscores how moments from reality television, amplified through digital platforms, continue to blur the lines between on-screen narratives and off-screen personal disputes, particularly within the highly engaged fan communities of MTV’s Splitsvilla franchise.
