Splitsvilla 16 Episode 15 Recap: Elimination and Wild Card Shock
Episode 15 delivered one of the most dramatic dome sessions of the season. Contestant Ayush Jamwal was eliminated after receiving the majority vote. Before exiting, he was given a special power to name a contestant who might face future consequences. He chose Gullu, also known as Kushal Tanwari, leaving the villa, anticipating possible repercussions.
However, the real surprise came immediately after the elimination. Previously evicted contestant Anuska Ghosh made a powerful wild card re-entry, reclaiming her place in the competition and vowing to disrupt existing alliances. Her return has significantly altered the strategic landscape inside the villas.
