The 50, the newest reality sensation has just kicked off on JioHotstar and Colors, and it’s already becoming a talking point across social media and the entertainment world. With high-voltage drama and unresolved rivalries coming to the surface, the show is wasting no time in delivering intense moments inside the palace.

One such moment unfolded when Nikki Tamboli and Aarya Jadhav got into a heated verbal fight on The 50. The tension between the two wasn’t entirely new, the duo share a contentious history from Bigg Boss Marathi, and their unresolved differences quickly resurfaced during the argument.


Nikki and Arya at loggerheads



What began as a war of words soon escalated when Aarya dragged Nikki’s personal life into the fight, mentioning Arbaaz, Nikki’s boyfriend. This move visibly upset Nikki, as the argument crossed from gameplay into personal territory. The situation took another emotional turn when Nikki felt let down by Arbaaz for not stepping in to defend her during the confrontation.

Following the clash, emotions ran high between Nikki and Arbaaz as well. The two were seen having a serious discussion, where Nikki appeared angry and hurt over his silence. Later, in a more vulnerable moment, Nikki broke down in tears while sitting with Arbaaz, who tried to console her and calm her down.

Arya’s remarks calling Nikki Tamboli “plastic” and commenting on Botox have sparked disappointment and raised a bigger question — why do women still body-shame other women?

The episode highlighted how The 50 isn’t just about strategy and survival, but also about emotional endurance. Old rivalries, personal equations, and unspoken expectations are colliding inside the palace, making every confrontation more layered and intense.

As the show continues to unfold, moments like these are only adding to the growing hype around The 50, proving that the game has already entered emotionally charged territory,  and it’s only just begun.

With the recent clash, the show also put up a no tolerance punishment for the contestants. The lion also slashed out the prize money as a stern warning to the contestants on the show to refrain from any other physical altercation.
