Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel have been playing a strong game in The 50, and whether it is strategy, arguments, or bonding moments, the duo knows how to stay noticed. Both are competitive, both are vocal, and both understand the format of the show well. But in the latest episode, it wasn’t gameplay that got people talking – it was their sizzling chemistry on the dance floor.
The Lion asked the housemates to divide themselves into two teams. One team was led by Prince and Yuvika, while the other had Faisu and Archana as captains. Each team had to pick four more pairs, making five pairs in total. Nikki and Arbaz were part of Faisu-Archana’s team.
The task was simple but intense. The money pot already had a big amount collected, and Rs 5 lakh was at stake. Each pair carried a value of Rs 50,000. The floor was divided into two separate zones for the teams. Once the music started, every pair had to dance. But the twist came when the music stopped – all couples had to rush back into their team’s zone. After every round, a portion of the dance floor was removed, making the space smaller. It was similar to the paper dance game, but with real money on the line. Couples who failed to enter their zone would cause a deduction from the money pot.
In the middle of all this pressure, Nikki and Arbaz stood out. When romantic songs played, the real-life couple didn’t hold back. Their body language looked natural, not forced. The comfort between them was visible. Other contestants couldn’t stop reacting, and even inside the house, people were seen cheering and teasing them.
Fans outside the show also went wild on social media. Clips of their performance started circulating quickly, with viewers praising their “real chemistry” and “effortless vibe.” As it wasn’t a planned dance performance, both of them were simply enjoying the moment despite the competition. A fan wrote, “They look so cute together. Can still remember the episode when Arbaz proposed Nikki.” Another fan stated, “Pyaare couple, Nikki-Arbaz.”
While alliances keep changing and equations shift daily in The 50, Nikki Tamboli and Arbaz Patel proved that sometimes, one dance is enough to steal the entire spotlight.
