Splitsvilla X5: Anjali Schmuck calls fellow-contestant Sadhaaf Shankar ‘fake’; says, “She was like I love Indian men but..”

Dating reality show Splitsvilla X5 has been winning hearts ever since the very start. The last few episodes saw many dramatic moments as well as fun segments. Anjali Schmuck, a contestant of the show, recently went live on her Instagram handle where she spoke about her journey on the show, her bond with fellow contestants and much more. What caught many eyeballs was how she called Sadhaaf Shankar fake.


Anjali revealed how Sadhaaf mentioned her liking towards Indian men and brown skin. However, when Tayne, a South African origin, approached her in the show, she ‘flipped.’ She even called her ‘fake.’


She said, “You guys remember Sadhaaf Shankar and how she was like I love Shiv ji and I respect Shiv ji. She’s a foreigner, so that’s very nice, and she was like I love Indian men, I love brown skin tone. Suddenly when Tayne approached her, and because he has the power, she flipped 360° and chose him. Tayne has the power because if he is immune, whoever he chooses will be immune as well. She suddenly was like yes yes I like Tayne and I’m okay with this Gora Pakora. She was like I don’t want the Indian guy anymore. When I saw all this, I was like what happened to Shiv ji and brown skin. I feel she’s so fake.”


Video from her Instagram live has been circulating on social media with viewers sharing their take on it. While some agreed with her, others disagreed. The show is divided into two parts, Pyaar Villa and Paisa Villa.
