Ruru Thakur shared WhatsApp screenshots to shut down rumours that her reconciliation with Yogesh Rawat on Splitsvilla 16 was pre-planned. She clarified the timeline of their alleged breakup, fights, and how she only learned about Yogesh joining the show later.

Splitsvilla 16’s Yogesh Rawat finally confessed his feelings for ex-girlfriend Ruru Thakur on the show. After his recent performance with ex Ruru and connection Akanksha Choudhary, he was asked whether he had clarity about who he loves. To this, Yogesh admitted, "I Love Ruru." Soon after, viewers and fans speculated that this might have been a "pre-planned" move. Shutting down the rumours, Ruru shared a screenshot on her Instagram story.

Ruru revealed her WhatsApp chats, where she discussed messaging Yogesh and getting confused after seeing the double tick. The person she was chatting with asked, "This was when?" She replied, "today," with the day being November 27, 2025. During their call, the person asked her to contact Yogesh. When she called him, she learned that his phone was with his brother. And, that's allegedly when she got to know about him going to Splitsvilla.

Sharing the screenshot on her Instagram story, Ruru addressed trolls, saying, "Yogesh wouldn't have let me say this also cuz y'all just pre decide everything so, it just felt right, I'm posting."

Ruru posted the screenshot after Yogesh mentioned in Siddharth Kannan's podcast that he had submitted his phone and switched it off before going to Splitsvilla. Things got awkward when Ruru explained that she had tried contacting him, but couldn’t reach him because his phone was with his brother. She then looked at Yogesh and asked, "Tumhara phone tumhare bhai ke pas tha na?" Yogesh paused before replying, "Acha, dusra phone le ke gaya tha."
