Bigg Boss 18 and The 50 contestant Rajat Dalal has sparked controversy after appearing to ram his Thar into a car that was blocking his way in a parking area. The fitness influencer claimed he waited 45-50 minutes for the owner to arrive, but drove into the vehicle after finding no contact number. He later shared the incident on social media.
Rajat shared a photo of his Thar being blocked by another vehicle parked directly in front of it. Sharing the picture on social media, he wrote, "Roz ka drama hai yaar. Itni badi parking mein itni gaadiyon mein meri hi gaadi milti hai humesha!"
The next video showed him banging his Thar into the car blocking it in the front before driving away. In the caption, he mentioned that he waited for the owner for 45-50 minutes to come and remove the car. However, when the owner did not arrive and had also not left a contact number on the car, he decided to bang into it and drive off. The caption read, "Patiently waited for 45-50 minutes, no contact number, nothing."
He explained the situation further with a note: "It is not a promotional video or a scripted thing. This is the case with the parking every day. This is not an aerial shot taken by a drone. This was recorded from the 3rd floor of the gym. Ek limit hoti hai har cheez ki (There is a limit to everything)."
This is not the first time Rajat has faced scrutiny over an alleged road-related incident. In 2024, he was accused of hitting a bike rider with his car and allegedly continuing to drive without stopping.
Meanwhile, Rajat Dalal is a powerlifter and fitness influencer who has competed at national and international championships. He came into the limelight after participating in Bigg Boss 18 in 2024, where he finished as the second runner-up. He was also a part of The 50.
The influencer was recently in the news after he married his ladylove in March. Taking to Instagram, Rajat posted a picture from the wedding, capturing a beautiful moment from the ceremony. Dressed in traditional attire, he looked visibly happy as he began a new chapter in his life. Along with the photo, he penned an emotional note, calling it the "start of a new phase of life."
