The 50 : Tempers are flaring and controversies are already brewing as reality television once again comes under scrutiny. Colors TV’s newly launched high-octane reality show The 50 has barely hit the screens, yet it has sparked intense debate. A recently released promo featuring Rajat Dalal and Digvijay Singh Rathee has shocked viewers, reopening conversations around violence, responsibility, and the limits of entertainment.
Physical Altercation Shocks Contestants
The upcoming episode promo of The 50 shows a disturbing clash between Rajat Dalal and Digvijay Singh Rathee during a task. What starts as a verbal disagreement rapidly escalates. Digvijay questions Rajat’s selective morality, calling him out for staying silent during an earlier incident when other contestants were hurling abuses.
Confronting him directly, Digvijay says, “Kal jab baaki log gaali de rahe the, tab tera muh khula nahi.”
The remark visibly angers Rajat, who responds with physical aggression, attacking Digvijay. The sudden violence leaves the housemates stunned, forcing several contestants to intervene and pull them apart before the situation worsens.

More Heated Confrontations Unfold
The promo hints at multiple explosive moments, highlighting the tense atmosphere inside the house. Sapna Chaudhary is seen in a fierce argument with Adnaan Shaikh, issuing a warning, “Tu soch raha hai chadh ke aayega do log toh kuch bolungi nahi.” An already agitated Adnaan fires back, escalating the conflict further.
Elsewhere, Nikki Tamboli gets into a heated exchange with another contestant. Later, she tells Arbaz Patel that she wants her rival to completely lose control and exit the competition.
An earlier promo also showed Karan Patel and Siddharth Bharadwaj clashing on the very first day. During a task, Karan sternly warns Siddharth, saying, “Next time if you try to come in between, I will break your bones.”
Amid the drama, the premiere episode promises lighter moments as composer Himesh Reshammiya makes a special appearance and performs on the show.
Social Media Erupts, Calls for Rajat’s Exit
After the promo featuring the physical attack went viral, social media was flooded with criticism. Viewers strongly condemned Rajat Dalal’s behavior, with many recalling similar incidents from his time on Bigg Boss 18.
One user commented, “Such bullsht… the guy could’ve gotten seriously hurt.”* Another wrote, “This is not fair. He should be removed immediately.”
A disappointed fan shared, “How disgusting!! This is coming from someone who liked Rajat in BB and not Digvijay!! Absolutely disgusting.” Others were even more scathing, calling him a habitual offender and criticizing Colors TV for allowing such behavior.
A Troubling Pattern Resurfaces
Rajat Dalal’s violent outburst has reignited concerns from his past. During Bigg Boss 18, filmmaker Farah Khan had clearly warned him against physical aggression, stating it could lead to eviction. That season also saw repeated clashes between Rajat and Digvijay, including an incident where Digvijay was pushed by Avinash and suffered an injury—yet no strict action was taken.

Even after the show ended, tensions persisted. Rajat and Digvijay were reportedly involved in another public altercation when Rajat allegedly threatened to slap Digvijay for calling him a criminal. Though both later claimed the matter was resolved, the recurring incidents are now raising serious concerns among viewers.
