Actor Karan Kundrra is all set to join Sunny Leone as the co-host of the 16th season of MTV’s popular reality show ‘Splitsvilla X6’. Known for his roles in television hits such as ‘Kitani Mohabbat Hai’, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and ‘Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal’, Kundrra will be replacing Tanuj Virwani, who hosted the previous season of the show.

According to a PTI report, the actor, who has earlier hosted youth-centric shows like ‘MTV Roadies’ and ‘MTV Love School’, said returning to the channel feels like “homecoming.” “Coming back to MTV after six years feels like homecoming and ‘Splitsvilla’ has such an iconic place in the channel’s legacy. I’ve always loved how the show captures the thrilling and unpredictable journey of modern love,” Kundrra said in a statement.

Talking about joining Sunny Leone as co-host, Kundrra expressed excitement for the upcoming season and its contestants. “This season, I’m really looking forward to experiencing the ‘MTV Splitsvilla’ energy and really excited to host alongside Sunny.

I am super excited to see what the contestants have in store, how far they’ll go and what risks they’ll take when it comes to love. I truly believe this season is going to be bolder, more dynamic and full of surprises,” he added.

The show, known for its unique blend of competition and romance, revolves around young men and women trying to secure a place in ‘Splitsvilla’, a villa where they are cut off from the real world. Contestants participate in a series of challenging tasks to stay in the competition while exploring connections and relationships. Eventually, one pair is crowned the winner, making it one of MTV’s longest-running and most-loved reality franchises.
