In an old interview with The Times of India, actor Karan Patel spoke candidly about his professional struggles and fallout with producer Ekta Kapoor. He revealed that despite multiple disagreements and years of not working together, their bond remained intact.
Karan also admitted that his behaviour cost him work opportunities and said marriage and fatherhood changed his outlook. He further shared his reservations about OTT content involving nudity, intimate scenes, or excessive foul language.
Prince Narula addressed his fallout with Elvish Yadav, accusing him of indirectly encouraging fans to troll Prince's five-month-old daughter and parents.
Speaking on Paras Chhabra's podcast, Prince alleged that Elvish provoked his followers by making suggestive remarks and called out what he described as “behind-the-scenes instigation,” leading to massive backlash online.
Social media star Faisal Shaikh courted controversy when his TikTok account, which had 32 million followers, was banned for allegedly glorifying acid attacks in a video.
Reacting to the ban, Faisal stated that he was misunderstood and deeply affected by the incident, revealing that he spent days alone and distressed in a London hotel room after losing access to his account.
Digvijay Rathee faced criticism after making insensitive remarks about body weight during a press interaction. His statement, “Agar koi mota hai toh hai” (If someone is fat, then they're fat), triggered backlash on social media.
Rajat Dalal has been involved in multiple controversies. In one incident, he invited three individuals dressed as sadhus to his home, accused them of being fake babas, and assaulted them on camera after they failed to recite religious verses.
In another shocking video, Rajat was seen driving at 143 km/h before hitting a motorcyclist. His casual remark after the accident sparked public outrage, following which police reportedly took suo motu action.
With a controversial lineup, unpredictable format, and no fixed rules, The 50 promises intense drama, power struggles, and explosive moments. As contestants enter the Lion's Den, audiences can expect alliances to shift and strategies to change at every step.
