Anshumat Defends Akriti Negi:

Amid the noise, Anshumat stepped in to defend her publicly. On his Instagram Stories, he addressed the trolling head-on and urged people to pause before passing judgment.

“Be kind. You never know what someone is quietly fighting. I usually refrain from putting up stories like this, but can't be quiet when an individual who means a whole lot to me is being put down for no reason," he wrote.

He also called out the culture of online outrage and assumption-driven commentary. “Digging up on someone or tearing someone down for clicks doesn't make you strong. It just makes you look stupid," Anshumat added.

From Reality TV Fame To Public Scrutiny:

Akriti rose to widespread popularity after winning Splitsvilla 15, a season that kept her firmly in the spotlight long after the finale aired. Her relationship with Anshumat became part of that public attention, with fans closely following their appearances and social media updates.

Anshumat earlier appeared on Rise And Fall to support Akriti when she featured on the Ashneer Grover-hosted show, further fuelling interest in their relationship.

Before dating Anshumat, Akriti was romantically linked to Jaswanth Bopanna, with whom she won 'Splitsvilla 15'. The duo had defeated Harsh Arora and Rushali Yadav in the finale.
