Himanshu Arora’s bold statement amid backlash: “My work means everything”

The recent episode of Splitsvilla X6 turned emotionally charged after Himanshu Arora’s connection, Diksha Pawar, was eliminated from the show. The duo faced a crucial moment when they stood before the Oracle but were denied the status of an ultimate couple, forcing one of them to exit the game. In a selfless decision, Diksha chose to sacrifice her journey, allowing Himanshu to continue on the show. While the moment was heartfelt, it soon sparked intense backlash on social media, with several viewers accusing Himanshu of being insensitive and questioning the authenticity of his bond with Diksha.

Himanshu Breaks Silence, Defends His Bond and Career

Following the surge of trolling, Himanshu took to Instagram to break his silence and directly address the criticism. In a strongly worded note, he shared, 'Hi everyone, With everything that's been happening around me, I felt it was time to speak. I've realised that staying too quiet isn't always right. To those questioning my bond with Diksha, I don't owe explanations, But this is for my fans. Diksha and I are very close. She's not just my connection; she's my biggest support, and I'll always be grateful for everything she's done for me, especially during the show. But that being said, this very show gave me my name, my work, and my livelihood. It introduced me to her, and it is literally my bread and butter; I cannot and will not let it go. My work means everything to me. Trolls don't pay my bills or take care of my parents; I do. People saw one episode, but not the 3-4 hours of the situation behind it. No one has the right to decide if I should or shouldn't quit. I will never quit. Thank you to those who truly support and understand me.'

Putting rumours to rest, Himanshu later shared a light-hearted reel with Diksha, showcasing their strong bond despite the elimination. They also went live on Instagram, firmly calling out the trolls and clarifying that they are still together and standing by each other. His response was widely appreciated by fans, who praised him for prioritising his career while staying honest about his emotions and gratitude towards Diksha.
