JioHotstar’s new reality series The 50 has taken social media by storm, mainly because of an explosive confrontation between Rajat Dalal and Prince Narula. What’s interesting is that Reddit users had already anticipated this showdown days before the show aired, soon after both contestants were announced. A recently released promo shows the two engaging in a heated verbal exchange that rapidly escalates and nearly turns into a physical altercation.
In the viral clip, Prince Narula takes a sharp jab at Rajat Dalal, saying, “Jitne shows tune kiye nahi hain, utne main jeetkar aya hun” (I’ve won more shows than you’ve even participated in). Rajat, visibly provoked, fires back, “Dekh bhai, seedhi baat hai. Yahan garmi mat dikhaiyo” (Listen, it’s simple—don’t show attitude here). Prince responds just as aggressively, replying, “Mujhe bhi mat dikhaiyo” (Don’t show it to me either). The argument intensifies to the point where both appear on the verge of attacking each other, leaving fellow contestants and viewers stunned.

This tension didn’t come out of nowhere. The rivalry between Prince and Rajat reportedly traces back to Roadies: Karm Ya Kaand (2023), where Prince had major disagreements with Gautam Gulati. During that time, Elvish Yadav openly backed Gautam and mocked Prince on social media, sparking a prolonged online feud. Rajat Dalal, who shares a close association with Elvish, also released videos targeting Prince, further fueling the animosity.

Prince Narula, often referred to as the “King of Reality Shows,” has an impressive track record, having won Roadies X2, Splitsvilla 8, Bigg Boss 9, and Nach Baliye 9. He has also been a long-time gang leader on Roadies. In contrast, Rajat Dalal, a powerlifter and social media personality, is still relatively new to reality television. He recently appeared on Bigg Boss 18, where he finished as a finalist, making The 50 his second major reality show.

It brings together 50 contestants inside a grand palace, overseen by a mysterious masked lion. Unlike traditional reality shows, participants eliminate each other through strategy and gameplay.
