The first season of the reality show ‘The 50’ had not even started properly when its first major controversy came to light. In this show which started on February 1, 50 contestants have been kept together in the same house where they have to play different tasks. The atmosphere became heated in the very first episode of the show when Karan Patel and Siddharth Bhardwaj came face to face. Both were in different teams but during the task the conversation escalated so much that the argument seemed to turn into a fight.
There was a fight during the task
During the task, Karan Patel accused Siddharth of deliberately making physical contact. Karan said that Siddharth pushed him and punched him on the chest. After this allegation, Karan became very angry and his angry reaction was captured on camera.
Karan got angry
An angry Karan Patel was heard saying, ‘I will break your bones…he has pushed me.’ After this, abusive language started between the two. In the middle of the task, both of them started shouting at each other due to which the entire arena was filled with uproar. Siddharth also did not back down and warned Karan, ‘Don’t say that again.’

Siddharth declared himself innocent
After the controversy escalated, Siddharth Bhardwaj clearly said that whatever contact happened during the task was by mistake. He refused to believe that he intentionally pushed or hit Karan. Siddharth said that this happens in the excitement of the game and there was no intention in it.
Prince Narula took charge of the situation
When the matter started getting worse, the other contestant of the show, Prince Narula, intervened and tried to control the situation. Prince explained to Siddharth that it is important to maintain discipline during the task and being physical is wrong. Meanwhile, at the end of the Arena Games, internet celebrity Vanshaj Singh was thrown out of the show, after which the rest of the contestants went back inside the palace.
