The 50 has just made its debut on JioHotstar and Colors, and it’s already grabbing attention with growing chatter across social platforms and entertainment circles. With its unpredictable format and strict rules, the show has made it clear that while drama is inevitable, violence is not up for negotiation.

Rajat and Digvijay's fight 


In a major twist, the Lion, the ultimate authority inside the palace, announced a penalty that shook all contestants. Following the physical altercation between Rajat Dalal and Digvijay Rathee, the Lion decided to cut money from the overall money pot, reinforcing the show’s zero-tolerance policy towards violence.



The decision came as a direct consequence of the clash, which crossed the line from verbal confrontation into physical aggression. While the fight itself left the house divided, the punishment sent a strong message to everyone inside The 50: actions have consequences, and personal control is as important as performance in the game.

The announcement created a tense atmosphere in the palace, with several contestants visibly concerned about how one moment of aggression could impact everyone’s chances. For many, it served as a wake up call,  reminding them that individual mistakes can cost the entire group.

Zero-tolerance policy comes with a stern punishment

By cutting the prize money, the Lion not only penalized the incident but also raised the stakes moving forward. As The 50 continues to gain momentum, twists like these are adding to its growing hype, proving that the show is as much about discipline and accountability as it is about survival and strategy.

What began as a heated argument quickly escalated, with raised voices and aggressive body language drawing attention from everyone around. In the midst of the chaos, the clash turned physical, and Rajat tore Digvijay’s shirt during the scuffle, marking one of the most explosive moments the show has seen so far.

Fellow contestants rushed in to separate the two as the situation spiraled out of control. The sudden eruption highlighted just how high the pressure has become in the early days of The 50, where competition, ego clashes, and fast-forming rivalries are already pushing players to their limits.

The incident has sparked strong reactions both inside and outside the palace. While some contestants questioned the aggression, others pointed to the intense environment of the game, where constant scrutiny and survival instincts often fuel impulsive behavior.

The 50 streams everyday on JioHotstar at 9:00 PM and airing at 10:30PM on Colors.
