Backstory and Rising Controversy
Ruru entered the show as a wild card despite her past relationship with Yogesh. Although they had reportedly separated earlier, she returned, hoping to reconnect, as she didn't get proper closure. This led Yogesh to leave Akanksha and team up with Ruru for the finale.
However, the situation sparked backlash, with fans supporting Akanksha. Later, tensions grew further due to disagreements involving other contestants and personal allegations.
