Summary
The reality show revolves around young boys and girls try to secure a place in Splitsvilla which is a "Villa". It's a 'hunt for love' show where boys and girls compete in tasks to stay in the competition and mingle with the contestants to find love. In the end, one boy and one girl are crowned the winners of Splitsvilla (they are a couple.) There are a lot of fights, jealousy, hatred, friendship, backstabbing and love when all these 16 wild contestants get together. There is also a King and Queen that have dumping powers.
Season 1
The season 1 was hosted by VJ Rannvijay Singh, the winner of MTV Roadies Season 1. In this season, two boys, Varun Saini, a former participant of MTV Roadies 5.0 and Vishal Karwal, of MTV Roadies 4, find the ultimate girl of their dreams by choosing from 20 girls by putting them through grueling "tests". The girls battle stress, politics, exhaustion, fear, bitchiness and other such emotional challenges to be the chosen one and avoid humiliation of getting dumped. The girl who is dumped leaves the show. In this manner, a winner is selected.

Controversies after Splitsvilla 2
Sexual Exploitation
A month after the second season of Splitsvilla ended, some of the contestants claimed that the show’s crew members had engaged in sexual acts with other contestants.
Swaagata G Shah, a contestant from Season 2, claimed in a tabloid that there were exchanges of sexual favors between contestants and important people of the production team, including anchor Nikhil Chinappa, to get undue advantages in the contest.[4] Later, contestants Varun Jhamb and Nalini Negi who had been eliminated early on in the show, alleged that ‘some crew members, including the director, had slept in the same room as top contender Joanna Magee, and others engaged in sexual favours, especially towards the end.'
In response, Nikhil Chinappa said, ‘I don’t want to comment on it. The channel will come out with an official statement soon. After all, it’s about the channel’s image and mine.’ Rajiv Laxman (creative director of the show) said: ‘I firmly disagree with these allegations. We have strict rules that prevent the mingling of the crew with the cast. Swagata was the first contestant to be eliminated and didn’t even spend a night at the villa. She doesn’t have any linking of the way things work there.’
Racial Slur
One of the contestants on the show Mohit Malhotra, has been accused of using a racial slur after he called Siddharth Bhardwaj, a "Nepali with 'chinky' eyes". This caused obvious discomfort to India's North East Community, many of whom have oriental facial features. Though the show is unscripted, the network and the sponsors have been accused of supporting such racial slurs by not bleeping the content after they decided to air it.[5]
Another such incident took place in the fourth season, when Aakriti had a verbal fight with Payal. The racial slur that was used was beeped out and later Nikhil Chinappa at the dumping ground raised the issue telling Aakriti not to "advertise her ignorance anymore" and that serious actions will be taken if it happens hereafter.
