Nikki Tamboli's team posted on her official social media page a statement denying the rumors of a "massive fight" between her and Shiv Thakare on The 50. There were previous reports that the shoot for The 50 had been halted because of a fight between the two contestants. However, an official statement was released by her group denying the rumors, saying, "There was NO massive fight between Nikki Tamboli and Shiv Thakare."
They also denied that the shoot for The 50 had been halted. They said, "Stop turning normal moments into fake 'exclusive updates' just to chase engagement (sic)." They were reacting to the reports that were being made about the show. They called out the reporting, saying it was "desperation" to put two names into a fake story for the sake of clicks.
The statement ended with the words, "Because these narratives don't create hype... they destroy credibility."
Recently, Nikki became emotional on The 50 after sacrificing her makeup during a task. In the first round, The Lion challenged her to bring 1 kg of a contestant’s personal belongings within 15 minutes. She successfully completed the task, adding Rs. 20,000 to the prize pot. In the second round, she was asked to bring 2 kg of personal belongings, prompting contestants to hide their items.
During the third round, she was tasked with bringing 3 kg of personal belongings. With no other option left, Nikki chose to sacrifice her own makeup, ultimately contributing a total of Rs. 1 lakh to the money pot. Following her sacrifice, her boyfriend Arbaz Patel told fellow contestants, "Uska moisturiser he Rs 75,000 ka hai, aur joh serum hai woh Rs 50,000." After completing the task, Nikki broke down in front of Arbaz.
The 50 new episodes air every day at 10.30 pm on Colors TV and at 9 pm on Jio Hotstar.
