A fresh controversy has erupted around the newly launched reality show The 50 after a promo featuring a physical altercation between contestants Rajat Dalal and Digvijay Rathee went viral on social media. The show, which premiered on February 1, has already drawn attention for its intense confrontations, but the latest visuals have crossed a line for many viewers.
In the promo, Rajat is seen advising fellow contestants to maintain respect during tasks. Digvijay responds by calling him out for selective outrage, accusing Rajat of staying silent earlier when abusive language was used during a separate argument involving Siddharth Bhardwaj and Karan Patel. The exchange quickly escalates, with Rajat allegedly slapping Digvijay, grabbing him by the neck, and pushing him backward. Other contestants rush in to intervene as the situation spirals out of control.
The incident has reignited criticism of Rajat’s conduct, especially given his past on Bigg Boss 18, where he was warned by Farah Khan against resorting to physical violence. Online reactions have been sharp and unforgiving, with many users demanding his immediate removal from The 50. Several comments described the act as dangerous and unacceptable, while others questioned the channel’s handling of repeated on-screen aggression.
The clash has also revived memories of earlier tensions between Rajat and Digvijay during Bigg Boss 18, where heated confrontations and even injuries were reported, but no strict action followed. Even after exiting that show, the two were involved in another public dispute that went viral before they claimed to have resolved their issues.With The 50 now under scrutiny, viewers are closely watching how the makers respond to the growing backlash and demands for accountability.
