A refreshed Splitsvilla format in Season 16 Simran Behl
Splitsvilla 16 sees Sunny Leone return as the Queen of Hearts, while Karan Kundrra steps in as the King of Hearts. Adding more spice to the game, Nia Sharma and Uorfi Javed join the season as Mischief Makers. Together, these additions set the tone for a season driven by mind games, choices, and constant twists.
Why Simran Behl entry is different
Traditionally, the Insider role on Splitsvilla has been reserved for former contestants who know the game inside out. However, Season 16 breaks that pattern. This time, the makers brought in Simran Behl as an Insider, marking a clear departure from the usual format. According to the team, Simran’s screen presence, relatability, and audience connect made her the right fit to offer a fresh perspective within the villa.
Simran Behl reacts to the unexpected opportunity
Speaking about her role, Simran shared that she never anticipated becoming part of Splitsvilla in this way. She revealed that she was earlier approached as a contestant but had to decline due to personal reasons. Later, when the Insider role came her way, she saw it as a meaningful chance to associate with the show. She expressed gratitude for the trust the makers placed in her and described the experience as both exciting and special.
Adding a new dynamic to the game
Known for her performances in Murder Meri Jaan!, Gutar Gu, and Hawao Ki Tarah, Simran Behl brings a different energy to the season. Her inclusion allows viewers to see the game from a slightly altered lens while keeping the core essence of Splitsvilla intact. As the season unfolds, this format tweak is expected to influence decisions, relationships, and strategies inside the villa.
With new powers, new roles, and unexpected twists, Splitsvilla 16 promises to keep audiences hooked as love and money collide once again.
