Banijay Asia’s newly launched reality show The 50 has barely begun, and it has already delivered its first big controversy. While the premiere episode impressed viewers with a star-studded contestant lineup and a high-energy performance by Himesh Reshammiya, it was an ugly altercation between Karan Patel and Sidharth Bharadwaj that truly grabbed attention.
Musical Opening and the Lion’s First Task
The launch episode kicked off on a musical note as Himesh Reshammiya made a grand entry, setting the tone for the show. Adding to the intrigue, the mysterious game master The Lion invited the singer to participate in a task, giving the premiere an entertaining and unconventional start.
However, the focus soon shifted from music and games to rising tensions inside the palace.
What Triggered the Fight?
The clash erupted during a team task when Sidharth Bharadwaj allegedly pushed Karan Patel while running. Visibly upset, Karan reacted aggressively and warned Sidharth, saying, “Next time I’ll break your bones.”
This statement did not go down well with Sidharth, who immediately lost his temper and confronted Karan. Questioning his authority, Sidharth shot back, “Who are you to break my bones? How can you say that to me?” What followed was a heated exchange that quickly escalated into one of the ugliest moments of the premiere episode.
Prince Narula Steps In
As the argument intensified, fellow contestant Prince Narula intervened to defuse the situation. Urging Sidharth to calm down, Prince reminded him of the presence of women on the show, including his wife, and advised against using abusive language.
Despite the intervention, Karan Patel continued to question Sidharth’s behavior, making it clear that tensions between the two were far from resolved.
Drama Begins Early on The 50
The fight has sparked conversations online, with viewers debating whether the confrontation was a result of competitive pressure or a lingering Bigg Boss-style hangover. Either way, the incident confirms that The 50 is not shying away from drama — and the season has only just begun.
With strong personalities, intense tasks, and no traditional host to intervene, The 50 seems poised for more explosive moments in the episodes to come.
