The 50 today episode: A fresh controversy has surrounded The 50 after Siddharth Bhardwaj made a controversial remark about fellow contestant Bebika Dhurve. His statement has not gone down well with viewers, who are now strongly reacting online.
Siddharth Bhardwaj Passes Mean Comment On Bebika Dhurve In The 50, Faces Backlash
During a conversation, Siddharth Bhardwaj said, “Wo hume yeh kehti rehti hai ki usne pichle show mein kaise ladke rulaye hain. Wo kehti hai ki usne logon ko famous kiya hai.” Digvijay also commented that the show ran because of her presence.
However, the moment that sparked backlash was Siddharth Bhardwaj’s personal dig. He stated, “Ek baar bataun, maine jab usse pehle baar dekha, contestant nahi lagi mujhe. Mujhe laga beauty parlour wali didi bulayi hai.”
The remark quickly caught attention on social media, with many netizens calling it disrespectful and unnecessary. Viewers pointed out that instead of focusing on the game or countering her claims logically, Siddharth chose to attack her personally. Many users also highlighted that comparing someone to a beauty parlour worker as an insult reflects a problematic mindset.
Several people expressed disappointment, saying that such comments lower the standard of the show. Fans of Bebika Dhurve defended her strongly, calling her confident and outspoken. Others criticized Siddharth Bhardwaj for what they described as arrogance and poor taste.
Clips of the comment have been widely shared, and discussions continue around whether such remarks should be tolerated on a reality platform. For many viewers, Siddharth Bhardwaj’s “beauty parlour wali didi” comment has crossed the line, turning what could have been a normal argument into a controversy that questions his attitude and respect.
The 50 is available for streaming on JioHotstar. The show also airs on Colors TV at 10:30pm.
