Karan Patel's The 50 controvery
Karan Patel’s exit comes shortly after his controversial remarks on the show sparked debate online. In a recent episode, Karan, along with Prince Narula and Riddhi Dogra, was seen discussing the growing dominance of YouTubers and influencers in mainstream entertainment. Prince openly stated that the industry has suffered since digital creators entered the space, claiming they have reduced the value of trained actors.
Backing Prince’s views, Karan made a sharp comment comparing the situation to “making donkeys run in a horse race,” implying that influencers are being placed in industries they are not equipped for. He also reflected on how actors from his generation had far fewer opportunities and had to struggle their way up without the advantage of instant fame through smartphones and social media platforms.Whether Karan Patel will return as a wildcard is unclear, but his brief stint on
The 50 has already left a strong impact, and his possible comeback could significantly shake up the game.
