Rajat Dalal vs. Tajinder Bagga
The makers of the reality show released a promo of Rajat and Tajinder’s ‘ugly flight’, making fans hyped, Fans took to X and other platforms, sharing their thoughts and excitement over the heated exchange between the two contestants.
What was The fight for?

This response angered Rajat, who fired back, “Main na gawar nahin hu and main bahut pyar se baat karta hu. Yaha sab dekh rahe haina, hisaab se baat karo, 2 minute mein bhoot banadunga.” (I am not an uncivilized person, and I talk with respect.
