As the episode concluded after Chahat Pandey's exit, Nikki Tamboli's comment aimed at Rajat Dalal brought the focus onto the rumored relationship.

Rajat Dalal Clarifies Relationship Status and Community Preferences

Responding to the teasing, Rajat Dalal provided a detailed explanation regarding his views on marriage and dating. He sought validation from fellow contestant Sapna, asking if he would be permitted by his family to marry outside his community. Rajat emphasized that while he respects everyone regardless of their background, he intends to adhere to his family's expectations of marrying within the Jatt community. He explicitly stated that he could never date Chahat Pandey, citing these cultural and personal boundaries as the primary reason for his stance.

The Prince Narula Incident and Rajat's Display of Jealousy

The narrative of Rajat's protective nature towards Chahat had been building up in previous episodes. During a segment where Chahat was saved from nomination, she was seen interacting with Prince Narula, whom she considers a brother figure. Prince offered words of encouragement and a hug, warning her about certain team members, while upon her return to the group, Rajat questioned her about the hug, displaying visible signs of jealousy. Although Chahat clarified the nature of her bond with Prince, the incident led to further teasing from other contestants who observed Rajat's reaction.

Task Dynamics and the 'Bhaiya-Bhabhi' Teasing by Contestants

The chemistry between the two was also evident during a specific task where Rajat had to place books on Chahat's head while she balanced them to a bookshelf. During this challenge, other participants began chanting 'Bhaiya-Bhabhi' and singing celebratory songs like 'Wah Wah Ramji', while instead of dismissing the chants, Rajat was observed blushing and smiling, which further fueled the rumors. Also, Rajat's earlier plea to his team not to 'sacrifice' Chahat during a nomination process had already gained significant traction on social media platforms.

Historical Context of Rajat and Chahat's Professional Association

The association between Rajat Dalal and Chahat Pandey predates their stint in 'The 50', as both were prominent participants in 'Bigg Boss 18'. Their history in the previous reality show was marked by various disagreements and moments of mutual support. In 'The 50', their bond appeared to have evolved, leading to the current speculations. However, with Chahat's elimination and Rajat's recent clarifications regarding his community-based preferences, the narrative surrounding their relationship has taken a definitive turn as the show progresses toward its next phase.
