Vanshaj Singh and Prince Narula
The 50 premiered on February 1 with a roaring start amid controversies and drama on day 1 itself. Vanshaj Singh became the first contestant to be evicted from the show. The content creator was clearly not happy with co-contestants Prince Narula and Karan Patel for evicting him. He slammed the two on social media and also leaked chats with Prince's team.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Vanshaj called Prince and Karan âabsolute clowns'. The 22-year-old was evicted by the captains of the first Arena challenge during the first episode. He took to Instagram and slammed Prince and Karan for their decision, saying, "Performed my task in a TASK-ORIENTED show + helped my team, got voted out for having least interaction? KARAN & PRINCE ABSOLUTE CLOWNS." He also wrote about Prince, "didnt even consider the performance in a TASK ORIENTED SHOW & eliminated because a 22yr old kid didnt talk to."
Slamming Karan, he wrote, "i hope your weak old joints pain today, you deserve to be sent to an old-age home, you have made a life time hater, i will keep reminding you my name for next 10 years, budhu budha (stupid old man)."
He then went on to mock Prince, writing, "Hi guys, it's me Prince Narula. I spent my life influencing individuality and fighting against the industry. I manipulate 10,000 young kids every year, but I am also a hypocrite because I am everything I stand against. I make groups, manipulate, and do politics & eliminated Vanshaj because he didn't talk to me."
After his posts, Vanshaj shared another story where he claimed that Prince's team reached out to him. He even shared a screenshot which read, "Hey Vanshaj, Team Prince Narula this side. No personal hate, and we don't need any controversy. Show ko show ki tarah lo and move on. Don't post stories like this. In fact, we were about to post a story for you, buddy."
Mocking his team, Vanshaj added, "I am Prince Narula team. Why you put story? No controversy plz. We were about to give you a shoutout. What happened if we eliminated you for no reason?" (sic)
