Is Splitsvilla Scripted? Sunny Leone And Karan Kundrra Make clear
Addressing essentially the most debated query around reality shows, Sunny Leone explained that while the format has a structure, the reactions and decisions come entirely from the contestants. Sharing insight into how the show unfolds, Sunny said, “There’s a general like idea, we all know that now we have to get from A to point B, but the way it happens will not be us, it’s them. Because based on their decisions, based on how they react, we move forward. So now we have no idea how they’re going to react.”
Expanding on the identical thought, Karan Kundrra added how the team may design situations but never dictates behaviour. “As Sunny said, humlog ek plan banate hai, for instance aaj aise karenge, aapko ye option denge, ab aap ye kaise karne wale ho woh toh aapke uppar hai na, hum thodi jaake bataenge ki ek kaam karna aise react karna, aise nahi hota.”
Sunny Leone also shared that a few of her favourite moments are those wherein unpredictability takes over, especially during dome sessions. “My favourites are after I don’t know, I do not know what the reply’s gonna be, kyunki aise moments hai especially during our dome sessions, there have been a number of dome sessions where there literally is a table you picked something, it’s by random, whatever you get, whoever is eliminated, whoever is dumped we’re completely high-quality with, and the alternatives shall be upto them.” Wrapping up the subject, Karan summed it up simply, “You may’t predict what’s gonna occur.”
Do Reality Shows Offer A Shortcut To Fame?
The conversation then shifted as to if reality shows provide a straightforward entry into fame for today’s youth. Sharing his honest take, Karan said, “100%, why not? And what’s the harm?”
Sunny, nonetheless, offered a more layered perspective on the thought of shortcuts and private goals. “Shortcut meaning, prefer it’s the straightforward strategy to get other work? I believe each individual is different; it is determined by what your goals are in life, like what you would like to do. And I believe reality television might be certainly one of the most-watched genres on either a platform or television. We’re hooked on watching human beings doing all varieties of various things.
Leone further added, “Be it cooking, baking, or reality shows, or adventure shows, we wanna see what’s real because we’re being shown so many other things, which is great, but psychologically we’re addicted. I wanna know what is occurring in your life, what do you do? How’s your life related to my life, and that’s where I believe people get hooked, is by watching it and or how do I aspire to be like that person we’re seeing on television.”
Karan Kundrra’s Take On Youth
Karan added that visibility has turn into the currency of the fashionable era. “I believe reality shows get you a variety of eyeballs. Times have modified, that is the ‘hyper’ sort of era we’re living in, relevance, eyeballs, and it’s not only actors; it’s politicians, corporations, everybody. They’re just doing things that get the eye, it’s good to have the eye, aaj ki date mein aap kuch nahi kar sakte for those who don’t have eyeballs.”
With Splitsvilla X6 promising unpredictable drama and real human reactions, Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra make it clear that authenticity drives the show’s core.
