The recent Ganpati celebrations have sparked a controversy involving Splitsvilla contestants Kashish Kapoor and Bhavya Singh. The disagreement arose after Kashish Kapoor voiced her frustration with the loud dhol music during Ganpati Visarjan, claiming it gave her a headache and anticipating backlash for her opinion. This sparked a reaction from Bhavya Singh, who criticized Kashish's remarks.

Bhavya Singh slammed Kashish for criticizing people playing dhol during Ganpati visarjan in Mumbai. Bhavya also addressed an indirect remark that Kashish had made about her a few days earlier. According to reports, Bhavya's fans flooded Kashish's post with hateful and derogatory messages, to which Kashish responded with a message stating, "Berozgaari badhti ja rahi hai desh mein" and "Ab ghodo ki race mein gadhe bhi daudne aa gaye?".

Bhavya, in her response, alluded to Kashish's statements, stating that she doesn't usually crave controversy but felt the need to respond to Kashish indirectly calling her a "gadha". She further added, "Madam toh cancel ho gayi hai left, right aur centre. Aur agli baar kisi ko bura bolne se pehle, kisi ke culture ko bura bolne se pehle, aap vo jagah chod ke apni basti mein jaa sakti hai. Samjhi?". This statement implied that Kashish should leave if she dislikes the culture and celebrations.

Kashish Kapoor had previously been embroiled in controversy after choosing to take Rs 10 lakh instead of competing in the finale with her partner Digvijay Singh on Splitsvilla X5. This decision led to Digvijay's eviction and sparked outrage among fans, with accusations of betrayal. Following the backlash, Kashish hinted that the show was scripted during an Instagram live session. She recounted a conversation where someone from the production team allegedly told her that only a genuine "love match" would win. These allegations have further fueled the debate surrounding the authenticity of reality TV.
