What is the Nia Sharma-Niharika Tiwari controversy? 

A row erupted during the Splitsvilla 16 finale moments before the winners were declared. In a confrontation, Nia asked Niharika why she had been bad-mouthing her in various interviews following the show alleging her to be biased. At the time, Nia clarified that she did not know any Splitsvilla contestant before the show, arguing that she could not be biased. To this, Niharika replied that even she did not know of Nia before the show.

While the Naagin actress let the first moment pass, she later reiterated that she has been in the industry for 15 years, while the contestants are glowing in fame that came just in 3 months. This irritated Niharika, who said,  "Kya baat kar rahi hai ye faltu ki? 3 mahine mein fame mila hai kya mere ko?" This jab went viral online, with social media exploding. While some alleged that Niharika was being ‘disrespectful’ towards Nia, others believed that the reply was befitting for the Naagin fame.
