Reality show The 50 has been grabbing headlines ever since its premiere, and much of the buzz revolves around contestant Prince Narula, whose actions on the show have sparked controversy. The latest drama comes from Vanshaj Singh, a content creator who was evicted within the first few hours of the show. In a candid interview with SCREEN, Vanshaj opened up about his eviction, his experience on the show, and why he believes Prince Narula is “entitled” and that Karan Patel’s era is over.
Early Eviction Sparks Major Controversy
From day one, Prince Narula appeared to take charge inside the house. Along with actor Karan Patel and a few other contestants, Prince made the decision to evict Vanshaj Singh, citing his lack of interaction with fellow participants. The move did not go down well with viewers or Vanshaj himself.
Following his eviction, Vanshaj took to social media to express his disappointment and anger. He accused Prince of manipulating younger contestants and targeting outsiders, while also criticizing Karan Patel’s relevance in the current entertainment landscape.
“It Was Difficult to Even Talk to People”
Addressing claims that he did not interact enough on the show, Vanshaj explained that the environment inside The 50 made it extremely challenging for him to connect with other contestants.
“It was very difficult to talk to people there. Many of them were from the industry, and they were always surrounded by people,” Vanshaj said. He pointed out that the so-called “big faces” on the show were rarely alone, making it nearly impossible for newcomers or outsiders to approach them naturally.
He further added that the only meaningful interaction he had was with Karan Patel. “I had a good one-hour chat with Karan Patel. He and Urvashi m’am were chatting, and I also joined the conversation. I don’t know if he wanted me to sit in his lap, brush his hair a little, or praise him, for the interaction to get counted,” Vanshaj remarked sarcastically.
Hurt Behind the Anger
Vanshaj’s strong reaction, he admits, comes from a place of deep hurt. The content creator revealed that The 50 was a massive opportunity for him and marked his television debut.
“They stole the show from me. The 50 is a huge show; it was my TV debut, but they took it from me,” he said. Vanshaj believes that established actors like Prince Narula and Karan Patel had an unfair advantage and used their influence to eliminate him early.
He clarified that his comments were not meant to age-shame Karan Patel. “I never age-shamed Karan Patel. I stand by what I said on my Instagram stories,” Vanshaj stated, addressing the backlash he received online.
Representing Outsiders in the Industry
Coming from Dehradun, Vanshaj emphasized that he sees himself as an outsider fighting against industry favoritism. “We are small and simple people. The least I can do is talk back. I am taking a stand for myself,” he said.
With over 10 years of experience as a content creator, Vanshaj believes he represents a new generation of digital talent that deserves equal respect. “I have seen great creators rise and fall, so I am representing being an outsider and fighting for myself,” he added.
Taking a Dig at the Content Creation Community
Vanshaj also criticized Prince Narula for allegedly looking down on content creators. According to him, Prince’s remarks reflect an outdated mindset that fails to recognize the impact and hard work of digital creators in today’s entertainment ecosystem.
This clash between traditional TV celebrities and digital influencers has resonated with many viewers, reigniting the debate over industry privilege vs emerging talent.
Final Thoughts
The controversy surrounding The 50 has clearly struck a chord with audiences. Vanshaj Singh’s eviction and subsequent statements have added fuel to the ongoing discussion about power dynamics in reality shows. Whether viewers side with Prince Narula and Karan Patel or empathize with Vanshaj’s outsider struggle, one thing is clear—the drama has made The 50 one of the most talked-about reality shows right now.
