Dating reality show Splitsvilla is back with its sixteenth season, and fans are already enjoying it. The premiere episode won many hearts with fun segments and exciting moments. The show is based on the theme ‘Pyaar vs Paisa.’ While half the contestants are in the Pyaar villa, others are currently in the Paisa villa. Sixteen male and female contestants made it to the show yesterday and introduced themselves. One of the female contestants, named Sadhaaf Shankar, is currently making headlines.

Sadhaaf is originally from Afghanistan but has been staying in India for many years now. She mentioned how, despite the cultural differences, she found her ‘first love and devotion’ in Lord Shiva. She further mentioned how she chose her last name ‘Shankar’ by honouring her love and devotion for Lord Shiva.




Clips from the episode have been circulating on social media, and fans have found this very interesting. She is a model who was born in Afghanistan and now resides in Mumbai. She has spent the past 10 years in India and has expressed that she is looking forward to finding love in Splitsvilla X6.

In the very first episode, host Karan Kundrra asked her why she uses the surname “Shankar” despite being Muslim and originally from Afghanistan. A clip of her heartfelt answer and her love for Lord Shiva has gone viral on social media. Fans have showered love on her for the same. She revealed that she is a devotee of Lord Shiva and added “Shankar” to her name out of faith and belief, not convention.



The latest season of Splitsvilla X6 kicked off in an attractive and interesting manner, particularly due to the entries of well-known Roadies contestants such as Yogesh Rawat, Himanshu Arora, and Kushal Tanwar. Tanye De’ Villiers also managed to draw immediate attention to himself due to his comment that he had previously dated two Splitsvillans, who he called “walking red flags.”
