Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleKushal Tanwar, a.k.a. Gullu, is hogging the limelight for his stint on the show Bigg Boss 20. He rose to fame after winning MTV Splitsvilla Season 16. However, it was his chemistry with fellow contestant Kaira Anu that became a talking point of the show. Now that Gullu is inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, the MTV Roadies XX winner is being linked to Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega star Kanika Mann. Amid this, the attention has again shifted towards Kushal’s ex-flame, Kaira Anu.
Who is Kushal Tanwar's ex-girlfriend, Kaira Anu?
Kaira Anu is a social media content creator and has 581k followers on Instagram. She rose to prominence by winning the show, MTV Splitsvilla Season 16. Besides being a content creator, Kaira is a dentist and holds degrees in biotech and dentistry. She frequently travels between Mumbai and Toronto, Canada, for work and personal commitments. She often posts dance Reels on her social media.
It is worth mentioning that Kushal Tanwar and Kaira were one of the most loved couples of MTV Splitsvilla Season 16. Despite winning the show, the duo’s relationship went through highs and lows. However, the two never officially confirmed to be dating after Splitsvilla 16. Earlier, in April 2026, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that the duo had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Now that Kushal is being linked to Kanika Mann, social media users are calling out his previous relationship with Kaira. A user on Reddit wrote, "How many Splitsvilla relationships have lasted for a decent amount of time after the show? I don’t think the number would be more than what you can count on your fingers. Most, if not all, Splitsvilla relationships are fake."
A fan defended Gullu and commented, "Gullu could have won it with anyone if you saw him perform tasks. No doubt Kaira was strong, but Gullu in tasks is equivalent to two people. Also, Gullu didn't get much hype due to her, but Kaira got hype due to Gullu. Also, Gullu won Roadies alone; Gullu won maa hai na without Kaira, but you don't mention it because it doesn't fit your agenda."
Kushal Tanwar and Kanika Mann's love track in Bigg Boss 20 explained
It’s been hardly a week since the contestants of Bigg Boss 20 have officially begun their journey. Now, some housemates have a strong belief that Gullu has a soft corner for Kanika. He fondly calls her 'Chaudhran', and the contestants inside the house could sense a strong chemistry between them. However, Kanika Mann does not want a love angle with Gullu.
During a conversation with Badshah’s ex-wife, Isha Rikhi, the Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega star clearly mentioned whether she has feelings for Gullu. She said, "Iss cheez ko yahi khatam karte hain. Mat kar usko chhedo kyunki phir yahi angle ban jayega. Mujhe apne around koi angle nahi chahiye." When Isha asked Kanika whether Gullu had given her hints about his feelings, she shared that, as of now, the MTV Roadies XX winner hadn't given any hint. Explaining it further, Kanika said:
"Masti mazak chheda chhedi bas. Nothing that I felt. Like desi mazak nahi hota? Mujhe laga vahan ke ladke aise hi hote hain. Mera bhai bhi aisa hi desi aadmi hai. Mujhe individual khelna hai aur individual rehna hai."
Earlier, in one of the episodes, Kanika shared that it had been almost 2 years since she broke up. They were in an on-and-off relationship. Now, she is single and has moved on. She also mentioned she needs a lot of time to trust an individual. She said:
"I was in a relationship, but due to some on-and-off, I decided that it’s not working out."
