Reality competition shows thrive on drama, rivalries and unexpected triumphs, and The 50 continues to deliver exactly that. The high intensity reality series brings together strong personalities, challenging tasks and shifting alliances where contestants must prove both mental and physical strength. Every episode raises the stakes as participants compete to grow the money pot while simultaneously navigating friendships, strategies and confrontations inside the arena.
Ridhima Pandit emerges as a strong contender
Tonight’s episode turned into a defining moment for actress Ridhima Pandit, who emerged as the undisputed star of the night. Paired with fellow contestant Shiv Thakare, Ridhima delivered an exceptional performance that left the rest of the contestants trailing behind. The duo not only outperformed everyone else in the task but also secured an impressive 50,000 rupees for the money pot, strengthening their position in the game. Fans quickly flooded social media with praise for Ridhima, celebrating her determination, teamwork and sharp gameplay that proved she is a serious contender for the title.
However, while Ridhima’s victory became the highlight of the episode, another storyline sparked outrage among viewers. In unseen clips aired during the episode, contestant Krishna Shroff was shown making remarks about Ridhima behind her back. Speaking to Shiv, Shroff can be heard saying, “Humara Kachra sabse jyda kaun hai?Ridhima.” In another AV, she is further seen saying that there are two- three contestants in the game who have been taken forward handheld as she spoke about Ridhima. What intensified the backlash was the fact that Ridhima remained completely unaware of these comments, continuing to play the game with focus and grace.
Viewers were quick to label Ridhima as the hero of the episode, applauding her performance and sportsmanship, while Krishna faced criticism for her remarks and gameplay. Ironically, Krishna’s own performance during her task for the money pot did little to help her case. She struggled noticeably, leading to visible frustration among fellow contestants.
Krishna Shroff faces backlash
Reality star Manisha Rani did not hold back her reaction, bluntly stating, “Aaj ke task mein Krishna ne jo haga hai, muje lagta hai ye dekh kar Tiger Shroff pakka bolenge ke bhai ka naak kata di ho Tum.” Her comment instantly became one of the most talked about moments of the episode, reflecting the disappointment inside the house.
Adding to the criticism, contestant Vanshaj Singh also slammed Krishna’s performance, saying, “Na hi Krishna se arena task mein perform hota hai aur na hi idhar. Main toh soch raha tha yaar mera first impression Bahut hi bura bann raha hai logo ka.” The reactions from housemates made it clear that Krishna’s standing in the game had taken a serious hit.
As the episode concluded, the contrast between the two contestants could not have been sharper. Ridhima stood tall as a performer who let her actions speak louder than words, earning respect through results. Krishna, on the other hand, found herself at the center of controversy, facing criticism both for her comments and her lackluster performance. With tensions rising and alliances constantly shifting, The 50 promises even more explosive drama in the episodes ahead.
