The latest episode of The 50 delivered high-voltage drama. This time, the spotlight was on Nehal Chudasama and Riddhi Dogra. What began as a simple voting decision quickly turned into one of the season’s most talked-about confrontations.
A Game-Changing Re-Entry Twist
To begin with, the show introduced a major twist. Former contestants Karan Patel and Vanshaj Singh were given a chance to re-enter the competition. Naturally, the housemates were asked to vote for one of them.
While Vanshaj argued that he deserved a fair opportunity, Karan urged everyone to “vote with their hearts.”
Interestingly, most of Nehal’s close allies chose Karan. However, Nehal decided to follow her instincts. Instead of going with the majority, she voted for Vanshaj, believing he deserved another shot.
As a result, her decision immediately raised eyebrows inside the house.
Tension Escalates Between Nehal and Riddhi
Shortly after the vote, Nehal informed Riddhi about her choice. At first, Riddhi responded with a sarcastic “Nice.” However, the conversation quickly turned tense.
Nehal calmly justified her move. “Karan said na, do what your heart wants,” she explained.
Nevertheless, Riddhi wasn’t convinced. “It’s your game. Solo game you want to play,” she shot back.
That remark clearly struck a chord. Without hesitation, Nehal responded firmly, “Riddhi, don’t do that with me because I have a choice. It’s not between you and me right now. It’s not about a solo game.”
Even then, the disagreement continued. When Riddhi said, “You’re not understanding the game,” Nehal stood her ground.
“Aapko aisa kyu lag raha hai ki aap sab samajh rahe ho aur main nahi? If I have a choice, then I’ll do what I want to do,” she asserted confidently.
A Strong Stand: “I Don’t Want to Be a Shadow”
Later on, Nehal opened up during a candid conversation with Krishna Shroff. At this point, she revealed the deeper motivation behind her gameplay.
According to Nehal, she wants to establish her independent identity. “I want to show the world that the show is not run by two men. There are women. I don’t want to be a shadow,” she said, referencing past seasons and her personal evolution.
In response, Krishna appreciated her clarity and called her approach “really cool.”
Nehal’s Independent Strategy Wins Attention
Notably, Nehal — who earlier appeared on Bigg Boss 19 — has built a reputation for being fearless and outspoken. Once again, she proved she is not afraid to stand alone, even if it means going against her own group.
While her move may have divided opinions inside the house, it has certainly impressed many viewers outside.
Ultimately, as alliances shift and equations change, one thing remains clear: Nehal is determined to play on her own terms.
And in The 50, that independence could very well be her strongest asset.
