MTV Splitsvilla X6: Pyaar ya Paisa is back — bigger, bolder and spicier
Love, drama and a tempting twist of money — MTV Splitsvilla X6: Pyaar ya Paisa returns to turn up the heat. The youth dating reality show is back with a fresh format, a scenic new backdrop and a starry hosting pair. Expect romance, mind games and unexpected alliances as 32 hot and single contestants battle it out on the coast of Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu.
Meet the hosts and the mischief-makers
Sunny Leone returns as the show’s ever-charming Queen of Hearts, celebrating a decade-long association with the franchise. She says the new season reflects how love evolves with each generation and promises tougher emotional tests with the “Pyaar ya Paisa” twist: “Emotions will be tested, bonds will be challenged and surprises will come from the most unexpected places.”
Joining her is Karan Kundrra, who calls this return to MTV a “true homecoming.” The actor — now the King of Hearts — is excited to see how contestants handle love when money is at play, especially with the mischief-makers stirring the pot.
And stir things up they will: drama queens Nia Sharma and Uorfi Javed have been roped in as the season’s troublemakers, ready to tempt, provoke and push contestants into difficult decisions.
The twist: Pyaar Villa vs Paisa Villa
This season picks up threads from last year’s memorable pairing of Digvijay and Kashish, but brings its own high-stakes play. Contestants will be divided into two camps — the Pyaar Villa and the Paisa Villa — where the game is no longer just about finding a soulmate but also about navigating temptations that cash can bring. Will contestants follow their hearts or their wallets? That question will decide alliances, betrayals and who stays in the game.
What to expect inside the villa
- 32 contestants testing chemistry, loyalty and strategy.
- Challenges and dates that force choices between emotion and money.
- Mischief-led twists by Nia and Uorfi designed to expose true intentions.
- Spectacular visuals as the show is shot against Mahabalipuram’s coastal backdrop.

Why fans should tune in
