Who Is Playing With Akanksha Choudhary on Splitsvilla X6?
Reality shows move fast. One week someone’s your ride-or-die, the next they’re performing a romantic dance with someone else while you stand in the corner watching. Splitsvilla X6 has been brutal that way — and nobody knows that better than Akanksha Choudhary.
She came into the season composed, grounded, and genuinely connected with someone. Three partner changes later, she’s still in the villa. Still relevant. Still the person everyone’s talking about when the episode ends.
So how did we get here? Let’s go through it properly — from the beginning.
A Quick Note on Who Akanksha Actually Is
Before we get into the partner drama, it’s worth knowing who she is outside the show.
Akanksha Choudhary is a model and management professional from Jaipur, Rajasthan. She studied Economics at SRCC where she ranked fifth in her batch, completed her MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, and worked at McKinsey before any of this. So when people write her off as just another pretty face on a dating show, they’re missing a lot of context.
She entered Splitsvilla X6 as part of the Pyaar Villa, which for the first half of the season operated separately from the Paisa Villa. The two villas eventually merged, and that’s when things really started getting complicated.
Partner #1: Yogesh Rawat
The Beginning
Yogesh and Akanksha clicked early. There was no big explosion of feelings on camera — it built quietly, which honestly made it feel more real than a lot of the other connections on the show. They understood each other. They communicated without it turning into a fight every time.
For a stretch of the season, fans considered them the gold standard couple. That’s not a small thing in a villa full of people actively trying to one-up each other emotionally.
Then the show threw in a wildcard. As it always does.
When Ruru Arrived
Ruru Thakur is Yogesh’s ex-girlfriend. She entered Splitsvilla X6 as the first wildcard contestant of the season and wasted no time confronting both Yogesh and Akanksha directly.
What followed was uncomfortable to watch. Yogesh started pulling away — not dramatically, not all at once, but enough. You could see it. Akanksha could definitely see it.
During practice sessions for the Entertainment task, Akanksha said she wanted to perform the song “Tum Ho Toh” with Yogesh. Ruru objected. That argument spilled into the full love triangle conversation, and Akanksha pushed Yogesh to make a decision — choose her or choose Ruru.
He didn’t answer immediately. That silence said enough.
Earlier, during a dome session, Sunny Leone got visibly angry with Yogesh because he was repeatedly not letting Akanksha speak. She threatened to throw him out of the show for his behaviour.
That moment landed differently for people watching. Akanksha didn’t say a word — Sunny said it for her. But the point was made.
The Decision
In Episode 33, which aired on March 22, Yogesh and Akanksha performed together on “Tum Ho Toh,” and Yogesh and Ruru performed on “Besharam Rang.” After both performances, Yogesh made his final choice — he picked Ruru.
That was it. Publicly. In front of the hosts, the villa, the cameras.
What Happened After
Akanksha didn’t pretend to be fine about it. In Episode 35, she had a direct verbal confrontation with Yogesh and Ruru. She warned Yogesh plainly that she would become the reason he doesn’t win the show.
People online went two ways on this. Some saw it as a threat born from hurt. Others saw it as a power move from someone who refuses to shrink. Either reading is valid, honestly. Probably both are a little true.
What’s clear is that this wasn’t a clean breakup. The tension between Yogesh and Akanksha is still sitting in the villa, and it’s not going anywhere soon.
Partner #2: Gauresh Gujral — The Ideal Match
How This Happened
Here’s something the Yogesh story overshadowed a bit. While all the love triangle drama was unfolding, Akanksha was also becoming one of the most strategically protected players in the game.
When the two villas merged in Episode 24, Akanksha Choudhary and Gauresh Gujral were declared the only Ideal Match in the competition so far. First Ideal Match of the entire season. That came with immunity, elimination power, and a throne position.
In Episode 34, Gauresh and Akanksha replaced Sadhaaf and Tayne on the Ideal Match throne, reaffirming their position in the game. So they’ve held that status twice. That’s not accidental.
The Date and the Reality
Akanksha and Gauresh went on a date together for the second time on the show — a curated sequence that featured other pairs like Tayne and Sadhaaf, Deeptanshu and Sandy, and Niharika and Sorab.
But here’s the honest part — Gauresh’s emotional connection is with Zalak Gohil. Everyone in the villa knows it. Akanksha knows it. She hasn’t pretended otherwise.
Akanksha announced that she would not perform with Gauresh in the upcoming Paisa challenge. They had already agreed Gauresh would pair up with his love connection Zalak for all his Paisa challenges.
That’s a mature and self-aware call. She’s not holding someone to a partnership they’re not emotionally in. She took what the Ideal Match gave her — the throne, the immunity, the coin advantages — and let Gauresh do what he actually wants personally. It’s clean. No scene made about it.
The Power They’ve Used Together
Being the first Ideal Match of the season meant real decisions. As a reward for winning a task, Prince Narula asked the winning team captains Akanksha and Gauresh to select two more couples from their team for romantic dates. They chose Deeptanshu and Soundharya, and Niharika Tiwari and Sorab Bedi.
In a previous dome session, Akanksha and Gauresh were once again declared an Ideal Match — Ayush Sharma was on the verge of elimination as a result of their position. A twist from the mystery box kept him safe temporarily, but he lost his power card.
So they’ve influenced eliminations, handed out date rewards, and held the throne — all while Gauresh’s heart is technically elsewhere. That’s a pretty significant game partnership by any measure.
Partner #3: Mohit — The Newest Alliance
What Was Happening With Mohit Before This
Mohit and Anuska were one of the more stable-looking pairs heading into the later episodes of the season. Not the flashiest connection in the villa, but consistent enough that people weren’t really expecting a split anytime soon.
That changed quickly.
After returning from a challenge, Anuska had a massive verbal fight with Mohit. Anuska was angry because Mohit had shouted at her during the task. Mohit was upset because Anuska had addressed him using the word “Tu,” which he felt was disrespectful.
The “Tu” thing sounds small if you’re not familiar with how address works in Hindi. It isn’t small. The choice between formal and informal address carries real weight in everyday conversation — it signals how much respect someone is showing you. For Mohit, it wasn’t a one-time slip. It was a pattern he’d been sitting with, and this argument was the point where he stopped tolerating it.
The Break and the Shift
Mohit officially ended his connection with Anuska in Episode 36. He said he was tired of being disrespected and announced he would now perform with Akanksha for the Paisa challenge. The announcement left Anuska in tears.
According to the episode preview, Akanksha pitched Mohit as a partner — a move that led directly to the separation between Mohit and Anuska. The development signals a shift in alliances and opens up new possibilities within the game format.
So this wasn’t entirely coincidental. Akanksha made a move. Mohit responded to it. Two people who both needed something found each other at the same moment.
What Comes Next
Episode 37 is when the Paisa challenge featuring Mohit and Akanksha will air. It’s too early to say whether this becomes a full partnership — romantic or strategic — or whether it stays limited to one challenge. Reality shows have a way of making short alliances feel significant and then dissolving them before you’ve had time to get attached.
But the fact that Akanksha moved quickly and decisively when Gauresh stepped aside for challenges — that tells you something about how she’s playing the game right now.
The Actual Pattern Here
Look at the full journey and something becomes obvious.
Akanksha entered with a real connection. When that fell apart she didn’t fall apart with it — she already had game security through Gauresh. When that partnership hit its natural limit, she didn’t cling to it. She adapted and found a new alliance with Mohit just when she needed one.
None of that happened by accident. She’s been playing a longer game than she lets on — and that’s probably why she’s still standing when others have already left.
Sunny Leone got genuinely angry at Yogesh for not letting Akanksha speak during the dome session. That moment is a small example of something bigger — Akanksha has a way of making people notice when she’s being treated badly without necessarily making the loudest noise about it herself. That’s a specific kind of skill, and it’s been working for her all season.
