The ongoing season of Splitsvilla X6 has moved beyond villa drama into a public legal and personal battle between contestant Sorab Bedi and his former partner, Apoorva Rampal. The controversy erupted after Rampal went live on Instagram to allege that Bedi was in a committed nine-year relationship with her when he entered the dating reality show. Rampal claimed that despite nearly a decade together, Bedi cheated on her to participate in the show. The allegations have sparked a massive debate among the show's fanbase, with viewers divided over the authenticity of the "Rajma Chawal" boy’s search for love. Malaika Arora Addresses Sorab Bedi Dating Rumors; Why the ‘Sweeney’ Founder Prioritises Independence and Son Arhaan Khan Over Relationship Speculation.

Sorab Bedi Responds to Apoorva Rampal Allegations

In her social media address, Apoorva Rampal expressed her shock over Bedi’s appearance on a dating show, asserting that they had not officially ended their long-term relationship. Following these claims, Sorab Bedi responded by sharing a video highlighting bruises on his neck, alleging that Rampal had physically assaulted him. "If there is even one proof of cheating, tell them to show it," Bedi stated in a post. He questioned the timing of her allegations, suggesting they were a bid for social media followers. "Yes, she hit me. Let’s assume if I had hit back? And why remember this after so many months? Need fame? Followers?"
