MTV Splitsvilla X6 winners Kushal Tanwar and Kaira Anu win ₹20 lakh

Kushal Tanwar, known as Gullu, and Kaira Anu have been crowned winners of MTV Splitsvilla X6, taking home the show’s top prize of ₹20 lakh in the season’s grand finale. The couple beat three other finalist pairs, Yogesh Rawat and Ruru Thakur, Sorab Bedi and Niharika Tiwari, and Soundharya Shetty and Tayne De Villiers, to lift the trophy after months of high-stakes tasks and shifting alliances in the “Pyaar Ya Paisa” themed villa.

The finale included a twist tied to the season’s premise of love versus money. A briefcase containing ₹5 lakh was placed before the contestants, with the option to walk away with the money and quit the show. None of the finalists took the offer, leaving the full ₹20 lakh jackpot intact and allowing it to go entirely to Tanwar and Anu.

The road to the end narrowed to four couples by the semifinals. After multiple rounds of elimination games, Sorab and Niharika and Tayne and Soundarya were removed from contention, leaving Tanwar and Anu to compete against Yogesh and Ruru in the final task. According to the show’s outcome, Tanwar and Anu prevailed through a combination of coordination-based challenges and performance under pressure.
