Ridhima Pandit, a participant in the Colors TV and JioHotstar reality show The 50, was recently eliminated.

In an exclusive chat with IWMBuzz, the actress revealed insights about her journey, friendships, alliances, betrayals, and more. Despite the discussions, she voiced her remorse for backing Prince Narula’s gang, believing Mr. Faisu’s gang would have been a superior option.

Ridhima expressed her candid opinions, describing her experience on the show as generally unjust. The actress pointed out that because the program relied on alliances, she was portrayed negatively in it. Ridhima highlighted her feelings of betrayal even though she had been faithful to her gang, yet she didn’t receive the same loyalty back.

The actress mentioned that the primary competition was between Prince, Rajat, and Faisu.

Ridhima mentioned that she often didn’t get opportunities and had to struggle for them, demonstrate her worth, and assert her grievances on multiple occasions.

When inquired about who Ridhima feels the most disappointment towards, the actress revealed that she held no expectations from anyone, yet she was truly disheartened when, on her final day, three votes were for her, but they didn’t allow that to even happen.

Ridhima criticized Prince Narula’s decision as unjust, made for her without her consent, stating that she didn’t contribute any material to the show, and condemned him, asserting that Prince has no authority to make such choices. Ridhima clarified her role by stating that she loyally supported Prince’s gang, asserting that this is Prince’s game and he will be victorious.

It was only recently that the actress claimed that her social media direct messages are inundated with unsettling threats, including rape threats and hostile messages, after the controversy.

Ridhima shared that her direct messages have been overwhelmed since the show and the situation with Vanshaj. She mentioned, "My DMs are inundated with threats of rape and death, directed not only at me but also at my family, including those who have passed away," to Filmygyan. Ridhima accused Vanshaj, asserting that she had no choice but to act against him, as he was the one who fueled the animosity towards her.

She also mentioned that Vanshaj stirred up so much hatred among his followers that "it ultimately escalated into violence."
