  • Nikki Tamboli and Aarya Jadhao clash on reality show The 50
  • Aarya offers to pay 2 crore penalty to exit after heated argument
  • Nikki responds to Aarya's comments, tension escalates on show

Nikki Tamboli is back in the headlines once more after recently being involved in a dispute with her The 50 co-contestant Prince Narula over his purported body-shaming comments.

In the latest promo, Aarya Jadhao seemed to start a fight which led to a clash. She said, “Main yahan se jaana chahti hoon. Main 2 crore dene ke liye tayyar hoon.” (I am ready to pay 2 crore penalty and leave the show). The remark was not overlooked. Nikki, recognized for her swift responses, promptly replied, “But wo 2 crore apne liye lete hai, papa ke liye nahi.” (2 crore should not be taken from your dad but has to be self earned.)

The comment struck deeply. Aarya then said, “Maine apne career mein apne papa se ek bhi paisa nahi liya.” (I haven’t taken a penny from my father in my career.)

Nikki, not taking a step back, included another remark that heightened the tension. “Dikh toh nahi raha waise.” (It does not seem like.) The mood became strained. Aarya was later spotted walking away from the discussion, visibly upset. Nikki still went on and stated, “Yeh show mein kyun hoon mujhe nahi pata. Uski maujoodgi kya hai, mujhe nahi pata." (I and my conscience knows why I am here).

For those who recall, their tension did not start here. The two had a conflict in Bigg Boss Marathi 5, and it seems that unresolved issues have carried over into The 50 as Arya made a comment on Nikki’s lips and called her plastic during the fight. Though there was a short period when they appeared to keep a polite relationship within the house, that tranquility has clearly concluded.

Now, in a recent Instagram update, Nikki Tamboli seemed to make an indirect jab at Aarya regarding remarks about her lips, stating, “Concentrate on your life as much as you concentrate on my filler. Do my lips excite you? Great. Growth typically occurs."

Nikki has brought her fearless, unrefined demeanor and straightforward voice into the program. She is ensuring that her presence is noticeable in the show, and at the moment, her team is doing well. On The 50, she remains one of the most discussed contestants.
