Divya Agarwal, who is currently participating in the reality show The 50, has found herself at the centre of controversy following remarks allegedly made by fellow contestant Bhavya Singh during a recent episode. The comments, which touched upon Divya’s personal and married life, sparked strong reactions from viewers and prompted an official response from her team.
What reportedly began as a disagreement between Divya and Archana Gautam escalated when Bhavya entered the conversation and made claims about Divya’s personal life, including allegations about her living arrangement with her husband, businessman Apurva Padgaonkar. The remarks quickly drew attention on social media.
Divya Agarwal’s team responds
In response, Divya Agarwal’s team issued a statement on Instagram, calling the comments “deeply uncalled for and unethical.”
“This is to address an issue that aired on The 50 episode last night and has been escalating ever since. What was said and done was deeply uncalled for and unethical. Repeatedly claiming ‘I won’t say anything’ and then continuing to push baseless personal narratives only exposes intent, not truth,” the statement read.
The team emphasised that The 50 is meant to test strength, strategy and mental resilience, not serve as a platform for personal attacks.
‘Dragging personal life is unfair’
The statement further said that dragging someone’s personal life into a competitive show reflects more on the person making such remarks than on the one being targeted.
“Divya has always stood for dignity, loyalty and genuine friendships, and those who truly know her know exactly where she stands,” the note added.
Addressing comments made about Divya’s social habits, the team clarified that her tendency to invite people over or host gatherings reflects her warm and welcoming nature.
“Twisting this into a narrative of loneliness or emotional dependency is not only false but deeply unfair. Creating such assumptions says far more about the mindset behind the narrative than about Divya herself,” the statement said.
It concluded by stating that attempts to misrepresent Divya’s intentions would not define her strength, grace or self-worth.
What Bhavya Singh allegedly said on The 50
During the episode, Bhavya Singh made several allegations against Divya Agarwal, questioning her professional achievements and personal choices. She also brought Divya’s marriage into the discussion, making claims related to her personal life that were not independently verified.
These remarks triggered backlash online, with many viewers criticising the turn toward personal commentary rather than gameplay.
As of now, Divya Agarwal has not issued a separate personal statement beyond the message shared by her team.
