Reality show The 50 has been grabbing headlines for its intense gameplay, celebrity contestants, and dramatic confrontations. However, the latest episode stirred controversy for all the wrong reasons after Divyaa Agarwal, winner of Bigg Boss OTT, became the target of personal remarks on the show. Following the episode, Divyaa Agarwal’s team released a strongly worded official statement, condemning the personal attacks made against the actress.
What Sparked the Controversy on The 50?
The controversy unfolded during a heated exchange between Divyaa Agarwal and fellow contestant Bhavya Singh. While Divyaa remained focused on the game and maintained a respectful tone, the argument reportedly took an ugly turn when Bhavya allegedly dragged Divyaa’s personal life into the discussion.
During the episode, Bhavya made comments questioning Divyaa’s marriage with her husband Apurva Padgaonkar, claiming that the couple does not live together. The remarks escalated further when Bhavya allegedly referred to Divyaa as a “gold digger” and labeled her as fake, sparking outrage among viewers and fans of the actress.
Many viewers took to social media to express disappointment over the personal nature of the comments, stating that reality shows should focus on gameplay rather than character assassination.
Divyaa Agarwal’s Team Breaks Silence
Soon after the episode aired, Divyaa Agarwal’s team released an official statement addressing the issue and condemning the remarks made on the show. The statement described the comments as deeply uncalled for and unethical, emphasizing that The 50 is a competitive reality show—not a platform to attack someone’s personal life.
The statement read:
“What was said and done was deeply uncalled for and unethical. Repeatedly claiming ‘I won’t say anything’ and then continuing to blabber baseless personal narratives only exposes intent, not truth. This was never meant to be a personal battleground; it’s a game designed to test strength, strategy, and the mind.”
The team further stressed that bringing someone’s personal life into the narrative reflects poorly on the person making such statements rather than the individual being targeted.
Addressing False Narratives Around Divyaa’s Personal Life
Divyaa Agarwal’s team also clarified misconceptions being spread about the actress. They highlighted that Divyaa has always stood for dignity, loyalty, and genuine friendships, both inside and outside the reality show space. According to the statement, people who truly know Divyaa are well aware of her values and character.
The team explained that Divyaa’s habit of inviting people over or maintaining close friendships has often been misinterpreted. In reality, this behavior stems from her warm and welcoming personality.
“Her habit of calling people over has always been a reflection of her warm, welcoming nature. She genuinely enjoys hosting, connecting, and making people feel at home—that is who she is,” the statement added.
Condemning Attempts to Defame Her Character
The statement strongly objected to attempts to twist Divyaa’s nature into a narrative of loneliness or emotional dependency. According to her team, such assumptions are not only false but deeply unfair.
“Twisting this into a narrative of loneliness or emotional dependency is not only false but deeply unfair. Creating such assumptions and influencing others to view her through that lens says far more about the mindset behind the narrative than about Divyaa herself,” the team stated.
The firm response was widely appreciated by fans, many of whom praised Divyaa for maintaining her composure despite the personal attacks.
Fans Rally Behind Divyaa Agarwal
Following the episode and the official statement, social media platforms were flooded with messages of support for Divyaa Agarwal. Fans lauded her grace, strength, and refusal to stoop to personal attacks, calling her one of the most dignified contestants on The 50.
Many viewers also questioned the show’s makers for allowing personal allegations to be aired, urging reality shows to draw a clear line between strategy-driven conflicts and personal defamation.
What’s Next on The 50?
As The 50 progresses, tensions among contestants continue to rise, but this incident has reignited conversations around ethics, boundaries, and respect in reality television. Whether the controversy impacts gameplay dynamics remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Divyaa Agarwal has emerged with strong public support and dignity intact.
