The 50: Nikki Tamboli Responds To Prince Narula’s Body-Shaming Remark, Says, “Cameras Don’t Cancel Character”

Mumbai, Feb 11 - Actress Nikki Tamboli, currently seen on the reality show The 50, has openly criticized reality TV star Prince Narula for allegedly making a body-shaming remark about her. Nikki questioned his conduct, calling him a "so-called husband, father, and public figure."

During an episode of The 50, Prince reportedly commented on Nikki's appearance. In response, Nikki shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), stating that mocking someone behind their back isn't a sign of power. She wrote:

"So-called husband, father, public figure. If someone spoke about your daughter's body like this, would you laugh too? This isn't strategy. This isn't a game. This is body-shaming done quietly the coward's way. Cameras don't cancel character. Influence doesn't excuse disrespect. Mocking someone behind their back isn't power. If you have something to say, say it to the face. Behind-the-back mocking isn't strength it's fear pretending to be confidence. And influence without responsibility? That's not leadership. That's failure. That's weakness with an audience."

Produced by Banijay Asia, The 50 is set to be a groundbreaking reality show streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors TV. Adapted from the French series Les Cinquante, it features 50 contestants living in a lavish palace with no fixed rules, promising unpredictable drama, strategy, and politics.

Nikki Tamboli made her acting debut with the Telugu horror-comedy Chikati Gadilo Chithakotudu and later appeared in the Tamil action-horror Kanchana 3 as Divya, which grossed over ₹313 crore worldwide. Her other films include Thipparaa Meesam in Telugu.

On television, Nikki first appeared on Bigg Boss 14, finishing as second runner-up. She also participated in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 (finishing 10th), The Khatra Khatra Show, Bigg Boss Marathi Season 5 (second runner-up and highest-paid contestant), and Celebrity MasterChef India (first runner-up). She made a special appearance in the song Cocktail from the Hindi film Jogira Sara Ra Ra opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
