Television actor Ridhima Pandit has reportedly taken legal action against reality show contestant Vanshaj Singh, accusing him of online harassment and issuing threats. The development comes amid ongoing tensions linked to the reality show The 50, which has been making headlines for its dramatic conflicts between contestants.
According to reports, Ridhima has sent a legal notice to Vanshaj after allegedly facing abusive messages and threatening behaviour online. The actor claimed that the situation escalated on social media following disagreements related to the show. Concerned about the nature of the messages, she decided to take legal steps to address the matter.
Sources close to the situation revealed that the legal notice demands that Vanshaj immediately stop the alleged harassment and refrain from making further defamatory or threatening statements. The notice also reportedly warns of stricter legal consequences if the behaviour continues. The move has sparked discussions among fans of the show, many of whom have been closely following the conflicts between contestants both on-screen and online.
As quoted by TimesNow, Ridhima’s team confirmed and said, “Yes its true we have taken legal action against Vanshaj and the legal proceedings are underway.”

In one of his posts on Instagram, Vanshaj warned Ridhima of the consequences she would likely face for blocking him on Instagram. In a threatening tone, he wrote, “She thought she can say whatever about me and face no repercussion because 'I am just another child,' BUT what she said to me is something I won't forgive. She has blocked me from Instagram, you all will know why. I have been fun trolling all this time, but this is something even I take seriously, till now I have taken everything lightly as it has only ever meant for the “show” but now i am angry, and these TV actors are acustomed to treat us creators badly and get nothing in return, i am not just a creator, i am a whole movement….”
Both Ridhima and Vanshaj were a part of the show The 50. The 50, a competitive reality series known for its high-intensity tasks and dramatic interactions, has frequently generated buzz due to heated arguments among participants. While such confrontations are common within reality television formats, disputes spilling onto social media have raised concerns about online harassment and the responsibilities of public figures.
