Nehal Chudasama, who is currently seen in the reality show The 50 and was earlier a part of Bigg Boss 19, recently became the target of disturbing and demeaning remarks on the show. The incident unfolded during a recent episode and has since sparked widespread discussion among viewers for its crude and body-shaming undertone.
The controversy arose during a task where contestants in the safe zone were given the authority to eliminate participants from the unsafe category. Nehal Chudasama, along with a few other contestants, was declared safe. Khanzaadi, however, found herself in the unsafe zone – a result that visibly upset her.
Soon after the task, Khanzaadi lashed out verbally, directing a highly personal and derogatory comment at Nehal despite the latter not provoking or engaging with her in any manner. Mocking Nehal’s confidence and body language, Khanzaadi was heard saying, “Aur ek yeh hai, chhati chaudhi karke aajati hai.” The statement, widely perceived as body-shaming, drew immediate attention for crossing the line of acceptable conduct.
What further escalated the situation was Bebika Dhurve’s response. Instead of discouraging the remark, Bebika added a surname-based jibe, intensifying the humiliation. She reportedly remarked, “Iska toh surname bhi wahi hai na,” turning the comment into a direct attack not just on Nehal’s appearance but also on her identity.
Both Khanzaadi and Bebika Dhurve’s remarks were seen as deeply demeaning, especially as they targeted another woman on a public platform. Nehal Chudasama, meanwhile, chose to maintain her composure and dignity, refraining from reacting or retaliating to the comments made against her.
The incident has reignited conversations around body-shaming, surname-shaming, and the normalization of personal attacks in reality television. Several viewers expressed disappointment over how casually such remarks were made, questioning why personal insecurities are often projected onto others under the guise of entertainment.
As The 50 continues, this episode stands as a reminder that competitive reality shows should not become a space for character assassination. Respect and accountability remain essential, even in moments of conflict, and viewers are now watching closely to see how the show addresses such behaviour going forward.
