The task tested their physical strength, gameplay tactics and teamwork as couples, where Soundous and Hamid were to collect sparkling diamonds – a fitting representation of a true match! After Prince Narula, it is for the first time, that a Roadies winner is winning Splitsvilla as well.
Commenting on this hard-earned victory, Soundous Moufakir, said, “I am extremely happy to win MTV Splitsvilla X4 with Hamid. He is a great companion and an extremely supportive person. Given how challenging the season was, I am super proud of us for sticking together and proving the worth of our connection. Also, since there were two different villas, putting up our A-game individually was also essential this season. It’s been such a spectacular season and I’m definitely going to cherish this win.”
On emerging as the winner, Hamid Barkzi said, “Winning MTV Splitsvilla X4 after Roadies Revolution is a moment of pride for me. It’s been a rollercoaster ride and I’m glad Soundous and I could sustain the bond we established. In spite of the obstacles and the criticism that we faced from others, we made it through. Arjun Sir made us feel comfortable on the show and Sunny Ma’am was a great guide. The experience has been superb, and we’ve made some amazing friends here.”
Arjun Bijlani, said, “This was my first season being the co-host with Sunny on MTV Splitsvilla and what a ride it’s been. The contestants are all driven and focused, whether it is to find their ideal match or to win the game.

Sunny Leone said, “I am delighted to see Hamid and Soundous become the winners of this season. They proved their connection to be strong through this journey, which was fought with uncertainties and challenges. They truly deserve this victory and I hope to see both of them achieve things with the same zeal they showed during MTV Splitsvilla X4.”
This season of MTV Splitsvilla had two islands, Isle of Mars for the hot hunks and Isle of Venus for the gorgeous divas. Adding to this challenge, the show was peppered with sensational moments, mercurial tempers, heartfelt confessions of love and a lot more, in true-blue MTV Splitsvilla style. From Mischief Maker Uorfi Javed to reality star Moose Jattana and ex-Splitsvillain Shivam Sharma, unpredictable wild-card entries tested the dynamic connections of the Splitsvillains, ensuing in jealousies, tears, broken hearts, tender romances and controversies.
