Prince Narula Clears The Air On Rumours Of Splitsvilla Being Scripted
Prince Narula, who won MTV Splitsvilla Season 8 with Anuki Tchokhonelidze, was asked in regards to the authenticity of the show and whether it’s pre-planned. Responding to this, he said, “Splitsvilla jaise shows mein, aur Roadies mein bhi, abhi bhi kaafi kuch performance pe depend karta hai. Contestant agar kuch karke aata hai, toh usmein makers kuch nahi kar sakte hain. Par Bigg Boss jaise shows ki baat karun toh casting ka level girta ja raha hai.”
The TV star added, “Pehle hum log 40-40 ghante travel karte the, proper tasks hote the — ab sirf fights dikhte hain. Aaj kal controversy wale logon ko utha ke show mein daal dete hain, jaise Rajat jaise log, kyunki unko lagta hai ye show se bade hain. Par asal mein show sabse bada hota hai. Agar talented logon ko laoge, toh show bhi bada hoga aur woh log bhi industry mein achha kaam karenge. Ab aise log aa rahe hain jinse log interview lene se bhi darte hain. Industry ka culture kharab ho raha hai — gaali-galauj aur threats common ho gaye hain.”
He continued, “In logon ki soch sirf social media numbers tak simit hai. Unhe asli mehnat ka matlab nahi pata. Jab 10–15 saal industry mein kaam karoge, tab samajh aayega labor kya hota hai. Tab technicians aur crew ki respect bhi samajh aayegi. Mujhe lagta hai agar casting higher ho jaaye, toh reality shows ka woh purana golden phase wapas aa sakta hai.”
Prince Narula Talks About His TV Journey And Struggles
Prince Narula, who has had a remarkable journey in television, opened up about his struggles and the moment he felt he had truly made it in life. Reflecting on this, he said, “Dekho, struggle kabhi khatam nahi hota. Joh mehnati hota hai na, woh struggle karta hi rehta hai. Amitabh Bachchan ji aaj bhi kehte hain ki foremost kaam maangta hoon — yahi artist ki life hai. Kabhi kaam peak pe hota hai, kabhi neeche aata hai, par wahi time hota hai dobara khade hone ka. Important kabhi Bhagwan se yeh nahi maangta ki sab kuch de de. Jitna mila hai, uske liye thankful hoon.”
The Splitsvilla 8 winner concluded, “Aaj foremost itna stable ho chuka hoon ki khud TV shows mana kar deta hoon. Important apna level bana chuka hoon — gaane hit hote hain, shows karta hoon, achha earn kar raha hoon, family settled hai. Toh isse zyada kya maangu? Mujhe lagta hai meri journey bahut achhi rahi hai. Important blessed hoon ki har show ne meri mehnat ko direction di. Log bolte hain luck hai, par sirf luck se kuch nahi hota — mehnat bhi utni hi zaroori hai. Aur maine hamesha sabse zyada mehnat ki hai, tabhi foremost jeeta hoon.”
