In an exclusive interview, Suzzane did not hold back when discussing the authenticity of relationships on the show. She pointed directly at Sadhaaf Shankar (Sandy) and Deeptanshu Saini, asserting, "Deeptanshu's feelings for Sandy were largely fabricated. At that time, Soundharya was aware of her boyfriend, Mohit, and I believe everyone knew. Deeptanshu even mentioned it. I don't understand why he claimed to have feelings for her on the show. He seemed to enjoy the attention, but his intentions felt insincere."

In a notable moment from MTV's Splitsvilla 16, Suzzane threw a cup of tea at Soundharya Shetty during a heated confrontation, which led to significant backlash. Following the incident, hosts Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra reprimanded her. Reflecting on her actions, Suzzane stated, "I don’t regret what I did. In that moment, I felt justified. I was trying to keep my cool, but when I approached her with the tea, it felt insincere. She had once been my friend, yet she mocked me and made comments about my past that weren't aired on the show."
She further explained that she felt provoked. "After throwing the tea, I was unsure of what to do next. The show had rules against violence, and I expected shouting, but things escalated. Regardless, I stand by my actions on the show," she concluded.
