What began as a light hearted roast inside The 50’s palace quickly escalated into an uncomfortable confrontation after Rajat Dalal's comments towards Bebika Dhurve crossed the line, sparking a tense exchange over respect, power, and body shaming. The incident unfolded during a casual interaction but soon became one of the more intense moments in the palace. The 50 streams daily on JioHotstar at 9 p.m. and airs on Colors at 10:30 p.m., bringing such explosive moments to viewers every day. Major fight between Rajat and Bebika The exchange started when Rajat attempted to mock Bebika in a joking manner, remarking, “Waise bhi kaun jaanta hai tumhe,” during a discussion about the show and the well known personalities involved in it. While initially brushed off as banter, the tone shifted when Chahat pointed out that the joke was turning disrespectful. Instead of backing down, Rajat allegedly went a step further, calling Bebika “bhes” a remark that immediately changed the mood of the conversation. Visibly upset, Bebika took a strong stand and called out Rajat for humiliating her publicly. Addressing him directly, she stated that having social power does not give anyone the right to insult or damage someone’s image, adding that there is a limit to everything. Her response made it clear that she saw the comment not as humour, but as deliberate humiliation. Matter escalates Bebika further asserted that Rajat needed to learn how to speak to people respectfully and accused him of body shaming her. In a sharp retort, she questioned his hypocrisy, saying that one should look at themselves before passing such remarks on others. Her words struck a chord, shifting the conversation from mockery to accountability. What started as a casual roast thus spiralled into a serious confrontation, highlighting issues of respect, privilege, and sensitivity inside the palace. The incident once again underscored how quickly humour can turn harmful in The 50, making this clash another moment that left both contestants and viewers divided.

Pavitra Punia comes out in support Actress Pavitra Punia, who shares a close friendship with Bebika since their time together on Reality Rani’s, recently came forward to praise her friend’s journey on the show. Pavitra’s words reflect both admiration and belief in Bebika’s abilities. Calling Bebika an exceptional player, Pavitra said, “Bebika is an exceptional player. People think she is an underdog, but she is not. She is playing really very well.” The statement resonated with many viewers who have started noticing Bebika’s steady rise in the game.

While others struggled to keep up, she stayed focused and delivered a strong performance, proving her mental strength and clarity.

05 February,2026 06:09 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTelevision actor Karan Patel has reportedly exited the reality show The 50 following rising tensions and a major altercation with fellow contestant Rachit Singh Rojha. The unexpected development has triggered conversations among fans about the high pressure atmosphere inside the house and whether Patel could make a dramatic return as a wildcard entrant. Karan Patel makes a shocking exit The situation reportedly escalated after a series of explosive confrontations among contestants created a volatile environment. Patel, known for his strong personality and prior reality television experience, was said to be increasingly disturbed by the constant aggression. Expressing his discomfort, he reportedly stated, “I can’t be living in a place where violence erupts,” before announcing, “I am quitting,” and walking away from the competition. His decision appeared to stem from concerns about his mental peace amid the ongoing conflicts. While the makers of the show have not issued an official confirmation about the nature of his exit, industry buzz suggests that his departure might not be permanent. Given Patel’s popularity and his return to television after a considerable break, there is speculation that the producers could bring him back later in the season as a wildcard contestant. Such a move would likely inject fresh drama into the game and potentially reshape alliances among the remaining participants. In talks to return as wildcard Patel’s exit comes at a time when The 50 has already been making headlines for its intense arguments, physical confrontations, and emotionally charged moments. The show has quickly built a reputation for unpredictable twists, with contestants frequently clashing on camera. Reports also indicate that tensions had earlier flared between Patel and other housemates, further contributing to the charged atmosphere. Viewers have been actively discussing the development on social media. While some have supported Patel’s decision to prioritise his well being and step away from a hostile environment, others are hopeful that he will return to the show if given the wildcard opportunity. His presence, many believe, adds a compelling edge to the competition. As the season continues to unfold with unexpected turns, Patel’s possible comeback remains a topic of curiosity. Whether this exit marks the end of his journey or simply a pause before a dramatic re entry is something audiences will be watching closely.

Amid the cooking battles, the entire team abandoned their counters for an impromptu dance floor, vibing to classics like Gulabi Aankhein and Dil Toh Pagal Hai. When the music faded, the cook-off picked up competitive fire. In Sudesh Lehri’s absence, Rahul teamed up with the firecracker Nia Sharma to whip up a menu that sounds like a culinary dare: Pyaaz ki Kheer (yes, onion pudding) followed by a soul-warming lobiya dish. Rahul Vaidya on pairing up with Nia Sharma Speaking about his return, Rahul Vaidya shares, “Coming back to Laughter Chefs honestly feels like coming home, except here, instead of sofas, we have frying pans and full drama! I’ve really missed this madness, the people, and this crazy energy that stays with you even when you’re away. Cooking with Nia was a brand-new adventure, spicy, unpredictable, and full entertainment, just like her! And meeting Aly again brought back so many memories and that comfort you rarely find at work. Everywhere I go, friends keep telling me how obsessed they are with this show, and now that I’m back, I completely get why this season hits different. This Propose Day, I want to say, love doesn’t always need roses and candlelight. Sometimes it’s about laughing, teasing, and showing up for your parents, siblings, friends, and kids. If this show gives people one more reason to say ‘I love you’, then I think we’ve done our job!” Rahul Vaidya on returning to Laughter Chefs Earlier, Rahul Vaidya had shared, “This show genuinely feels like family to me. It never felt like I was coming back after a long gap; it felt like I had always been here. Surprising everyone, being part of Bharti’s godh bharai, singing for her, and seeing the love on set was special. Reuniting with Aly instantly took me back to Season 1; we created some memorable dishes together, and that comfort just comes naturally. The banter with Jannat and the rest of the chefs is all in good fun, and that’s what makes this kitchen so special.”
