  • Khanzadi's safety card led to cheating claims and heated arguments in The 50 palace task.
  • Lion accused Khanzadi of cheating; Karan Patel alleged Rajat of misconduct.
  • The controversy has deepened divisions and alliances among contestants

The Safe Card task inside the palace of The 50 once again descended into chaos after Khanzadi’s safety card was declared invalid, igniting a fierce argument that quickly escalated into cheating allegations and calls for elimination. The episode, now being widely discussed online, highlighted just how fragile trust and alliances have become inside the house.

The controversy began when Lion openly accused Khanzadi of cheating during the task, alleging that the card she claimed for safety did not meet the rules. Khanzadi immediately rejected the charge, firmly maintaining that she had not broken any rule. She explained that Faizu and Shiv had earlier promised to hand over their hammers, which allowed her to reach the safety cards faster than others. Addressing how she managed to get hold of the card, Khanzadi stated, “Shoe ke andar tha, maine le liya. Maine cheating nahi ki,” insisting her actions were within the game’s boundaries.

As tensions rose, the argument took a sharper turn when Karan Patel entered the debate with a serious claim involving Rajat Dalal. According to Karan, he had heard that Rajat had concealed the card under his foot and moved it only when Khanzadi approached. “Rajat ne apne paav ke neeche card chhupa ke rakha tha, aur jaise hi Khanzadi aayi, usne apna paav utha liya,” Karan alleged. He further added that if this version of events was accurate, Khanzadi should be eliminated, and if Rajat had played a role in setting it up, he too should face elimination.

Rajat, however, categorically denied the accusations. Defending his actions, he argued that contestants were openly exchanging and handling cards during the task, and his move was simply a way to protect the card from being snatched. “Agar main ground ke andar phek deta, toh koi bhi aakar cheen leta. Isliye maine safe side ke liye apne pair ke neeche rakha,” he said. Rajat also questioned whether such split-second decisions, common in high-pressure tasks, should really be branded as cheating.

What began as a tactical challenge designed to secure safety soon turned into one of the season’s most explosive confrontations. With contestants divided over intent, ethics, and interpretation of rules, the incident once again exposed the deep cracks running through the house. Coming on the heels of earlier cheating allegations against Arbaz, the Safe Card task has become another flashpoint in a season already marked by controversy.

The 50 streams daily on JioHotstar at 9:00 PM and airs on Colors at 10:30 PM, with the fallout from this incident likely to shape alliances and rivalries in the days ahead.
