Slut-Shaming Remarks Trigger Widespread Outrage
During the episode, Bebika and Khanzaadi were seen mocking Nehal’s appearance and passing personal comments. Consequently, many viewers labelled the remarks as slut-shaming.
One particular statement — “Chhati chaudi karke aajati hai, iska toh surname bhi wahi hai” — became the main trigger for outrage. Audiences found the comment offensive and deeply humiliating. Moreover, several viewers felt that Nehal was being deliberately targeted, including through remarks linked to her surname.
As the clip circulated online, it quickly became a focal point of criticism against the show.
Nehal Chudasama’s Fans Rally in Support
Soon after the episode aired, Nehal Chudasama’s supporters voiced their anger across social media platforms. Fans flooded timelines with posts condemning the behaviour and demanding accountability from the contestants.
At the same time, many viewers questioned the makers of The 50 for allowing such remarks to air without intervention. As discussions around sexism and misogyny on reality television intensified, the backlash continued to grow.
Alleged Threatening Messages Escalate the Controversy
However, the situation took a more serious turn when screenshots of alleged direct messages from Bebika Dhurve began circulating online. According to fans, instead of addressing the criticism, Bebika allegedly threatened one of Nehal’s supporters.
In the purported message, Bebika warned of legal action and a defamation case. The message reportedly stated that her team would file a lawsuit and questioned why viewers did not highlight moments when she allegedly stopped Khanzaadi from abusing others.
As expected, these alleged threats further fuelled public outrage and intensified the controversy.
Netizens Slam Intimidation Tactics
Following this, netizens strongly criticised the alleged attempt to intimidate fans. Many pointed out that legal warnings do not erase what was said on the show. Instead, they believe such actions only worsen the situation.
As a result, the controversy has once again reignited conversations around accountability, responsibility, and the growing normalisation of slut-shaming language on reality TV.
No Apology from Contestants or Makers So Far
As of now, Bebika Dhurve has not issued a public apology. Similarly, the makers of The 50 have remained silent on the matter. There has been no official clarification regarding the remarks or the alleged messages.
Meanwhile, Nehal Chudasama’s supporters continue to stand firmly by her, demanding respect and a stronger stance against derogatory behaviour on televised platforms.
