When And Where To Watch

The finale episodes of Splitsvilla 16 are scheduled to air on May 15 and 16, 2026. The grand finale will stream live from 7 PM onwards on MTV India and JioHotstar.

Audience members were able to vote for their favourite contestants on the JioHotstar app till 9:00 am on May 11, 2026. While voting has now closed, the fan votes are expected to play a significant role in deciding the final outcome.

The Show At A Glance

Splitsvilla 16 premiered on January 9, 2026, on MTV India. The season is hosted by Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra, with Uorfi Javed and Nia Sharma serving as Mischief Makers. This season introduced a fresh twist: 32 contestants competed not just for love or money, but across two separate spaces: Pyaar Villa and Paisa Villa. The central tension of the season, choosing between love and money, played out in every episode.

The Four Finalist Couples

The top four couples competing in the grand finale are Gullu-Kaira, Tayne-Soundharya, Sorab-Niharika, and Yogesh-Ruru. Here is how each pair made it to the end:

Gullu (Kushal Tanwar) and Kaira

Gullu and Kaira secured their spot in the grand finale by winning the Ticket to Finale task, a gruelling riddle-filled race, defeating Yogesh Rawat and Ruru Thakur by a margin of just one second. They have been one of the season's most-watched pairs throughout.

Tayne De Villiers and Soundharya Shetty (Sandy)

Soundharya was given the opportunity to secure a direct spot in the grand finale, but only if she agreed to dump her connection, Deeptanshu Saini, immediately. Despite their history as an Ideal Match earlier in the season, Soundharya chose the "Paisa/Game" over "Pyaar" and officially dumped Deeptanshu to claim her Ticket to Finale.

Ruru Thakur and Yogesh Rawat

Unlike Tayne, Ruru Thakur chose love over the game and decided to stand by Yogesh instead of taking the Ticket to Finale. Yogesh warmly praised her loyalty, saying he always knew she would support him. The second semifinal was lopsided, with Ruru and Yogesh beating their opponents by a huge margin.

Sorab Bedi and Niharika

Sorab and Niharika cleared the first semifinal battle against Suzanne and Vishu, and currently hold the highest Splitscoins tally of all four finalists at 1,98,200.

The Fan Voting Twist

The producers saved their most dramatic card for last. The grand finale introduced a fan voting twist, adding a public element to who ultimately lifts the trophy, making this finale unlike any previous Splitsvilla season. Fans now hold real power in deciding the outcome, and social media has already erupted into full-on campaign mode for every couple.

Although the final result will depend on different factors, fan voting is expected to have a strong impact on the final outcome.

Who Is Predicted To Win?

No official winner has been announced - that happens on May 16. However, social media is already buzzing with strong predictions. A Reddit thread titled "Winner leaked of this season" has gone viral, with users claiming that Gullu (Kushal Tanwar) and Kaira may have emerged as the winners of Splitsvilla 16. According to circulating claims, the duo allegedly won both the finale task and audience voting. Many fans have called Gullu and Kaira one of the strongest pairs of the season.

Sorab-Niharika holds the highest Splitscoins tally of all four finalists, while Ruru and Yogesh command serious loyalty from their fanbase. With the fan vote factored in, the finale remains genuinely unpredictable.

Bottomline

Splitsvilla 16 has delivered one of its most entertaining seasons in years, two villas, 32 contestants, and a season-long tug of war between pyaar and paisa. The grand finale on May 16 promises drama, tasks, and a winner that, for the first time, fans helped choose. Tune in at 7 PM on MTV or JioHotstar to find out who takes it home.
