Niharika Tiwari Slammed for Victim-Shaming Preet Singh on Splitsvilla

The finale of Splitsvilla X6 may have concluded, but the controversies surrounding its contestants continue to escalate. In the final episode, a heated argument erupted, and finalist Niharika Tiwari made shocking remarks that quickly went viral on social media. Viewers were already displeased with her disrespectful behavior towards Nia Sharma, but her latest comment against contestant Preet Singh has triggered massive outrage online.

Niharika's Controversial Remark

Niharika is accused of mocking Preet’s assault incident that allegedly occurred in Mumbai during a fight. In a viral clip, Niharika is heard saying, “Ek baar teri fielding set hui hai na Mumbai mai, ek baar maar khai hai na tu Mumbai mai.” The comment immediately sparked backlash, with many viewers calling it insensitive, tasteless, and an act of victim shaming.

Kashish Kapoor's Strong Reaction

Former Splitsvilla contestant Kashish Kapoor reacted strongly to the controversy through a video on social media shortly after the episode aired. Kashish criticized Niharika for bringing up a traumatic event during an argument and accused her of shaming a victim to win a fight.

Reacting to the incident, Kashish said, “Did she really tell Preet, ‘ek baar teri fielding set hui hai na Mumbai mein, ek baar maar khai hai na tu Mumbai mai’? Seriously? That’s cheap. That’s uneducated. And that’s the lowest of the lows. I don’t even know. You just proved Preet right. You just proved Preet’s point right. You absolutely proved her right. She didn’t even have to clarify. This is shaming the victim. This is why most victims don’t come forward. Because the moment they come forward, one way or another, somebody or the other, in a stupid argument just to win, will use it against them. This is why most victims don’t come forward. This girl just came forward about something so embarrassing, kind of traumatic, and shameful because of the stigma around it, thanks to people like you. She came forward and mentioned how she was physically assaulted, attacked, in a city like Mumbai. And you made fun of her for your personal vendetta. You made fun of her — ‘You got beaten up once in Mumbai.’ Victim blaming and victim shaming at the highest order. Wow. How brainless is this girl, Niharika? Because they’re saying that her connection is fake, that it was made on the show. And she thinks the answer to that is, ‘You got beaten up in Mumbai. Your fielding was set.’ Okay fine, somebody slapped you — it was wrong. But will you cut someone’s leg? It was worse with her. How are you even comparing it? Don’t you use your brain? What the f**k? Now Niharika doesn’t understand… what should I say?’”

Social Media Uproar

Kashish’s video has since gone viral on social media. Numerous users supported her stance and condemned Niharika’s remarks. The controversy has reignited discussions about victim shaming, accountability, and the toxicity of personal attacks in reality show confrontations.
