The reality TV star’s request comes after their reunion on Roadies Rebirth brought their Splitsvilla 8 connection back into the spotlight, prompting fans to revisit their past through social media edits.In a note on his Instagram story, Prince acknowledged that fans were free to make edits of his reality TV journey but asked them to be mindful of his family and present life. "Guys, it’s a humble request. You guys wanna make edits about me, it’s cool, but please remember that I have a wife and daughter. I’m a happily married man and I don’t want my daughter to grow up and watch these meaningless edits," Prince wrote.Prince also addressed social media posts describing Karishma as his former girlfriend, clarifying that the two had been paired as a “connection” on Splitsvilla 8 and were not in an actual relationship.“I’ve had a beautiful journey in the world of reality TV. The audience of Splitsvilla is well aware that she was simply a ‘connection’ in the villa, not an ex as is being shown,” he wrote. Prince and Karishma were paired during the eighth season of Splitsvilla. Their past association resurfaced after Karishma appeared in the audition round of Roadies Rebirth. Their reunion became a talking point in the episode, particularly after host Rannvijay Singha brought up their Splitsvilla.During the episode, Rannvijay reminded Prince and Karishma of their connection on Splitsvilla 8, a fact Prince acknowledged. Karishma then playfully accused him of ditching her because he thought she had “sold” him for Rs 599. Trying to dodge the teasing, Prince joked, “Guys, I’m only here for this interview. I’ll come back for the next interview!”The banter continued when Karishma called Prince “sexy”, prompting Neha Dhupia to tease him about whether their old connection was rekindling. Karishma clarified that she was merely complimenting him before announcing that she would be joining the OG gang on the show.The light-hearted exchange prompted fans to create several edits featuring the two, with some framing their reunion romantically. Prince has since asked viewers not to misrepresent their Splitsvilla association, reiterating that Karishma was his connection on the show, not his ex-girlfriend. He also urged fans to respect his present life as a married man and father.The new season follows the finale of MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross, where Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, from Elvish Yadav’s team won the title. Hartaaj Singh Gill from Prince Narula’s gang finished as the first runner-up after the two faced off in the grand finale task. Gill completed the task in 1 minute 48 seconds, while Gullu finished it in 1 minute 16 seconds. Gullu also beat Rishabh Sachdeva, Priya Sharma and RD Dedha to lift the trophy, winning a Karizma XMR bike and Rs 10 lakh in prize money.- Ends
