Reality TV star Digvijay Singh Rathee has been no stranger to controversies. From his dramatic exit in Splitsvilla X5 to heated confrontations in Bigg Boss 18 and a recent public fallout with ex-girlfriend Unnati Tomar, his name has frequently made headlines.
Here’s a look at five major controversies surrounding him:
1. Splitsvilla X5: The Finale Fallout With Kashish
During the semi-final of Splitsvilla X5, contestants had to choose between securing a spot in the grand finale or taking Rs 10 lakh. Kashish opted for the money, leading to Digvijay’s unexpected eviction. The decision sparked tension between them, extending beyond the show.
Their heated exchanges continued on social media, with Digvijay openly calling out Kashish for her choice. Their ongoing feud kept fans engaged, making them one of the most talked-about pairs of the season.
2. Body-Shaming Controversy
Digvijay courted controversy with his remarks on body weight during a press event. When asked about fitness, he stated, “Agar koi mota hai toh hai” (If someone is fat, then they’re fat), sparking a backlash.
Celebrities like Shreya Karla and Shubhi Joshi criticised his comment, highlighting the insensitivity of body-shaming. While Digvijay defended his stance, social media erupted, with many accusing him of being dismissive of people’s struggles with body image.
3. Shocking Bigg Boss 18 Eviction
His sudden elimination from Bigg Boss 18 came as a shock to many. A nomination task led to a majority of housemates voting him out, leaving his fans outraged.
Viewers took to social media, accusing the show’s creators of unfairness and favoritism. Many believed Digvijay was a strong contender who was deliberately targeted, making his eviction one of the most controversial moments of the season.
4. Heated Fight With Avinash In Bigg Boss House
A task in Bigg Boss 18 turned chaotic when Digvijay and fellow contestant Avinash Mishra got into a physical altercation. It started over a dispute involving tea pouches, escalating into shoving and aggressive verbal exchanges.
Avinash, in a fit of rage, removed his mic and threatened Digvijay, saying, “Bhul jaunga Bigg Boss ka contract ab” (I’ll forget about the Bigg Boss contract now). The clash required intervention from other housemates, making it one of the season’s most intense moments.
5. Public Fallout With Ex-Girlfriend Unnati Tomar
The most recent controversy involves Digvijay’s ex-girlfriend, Unnati Tomar. After he allegedly accused her of infidelity in an interview, Unnati hit back, revealing shocking details about their relationship.
She claimed Digvijay had been unfaithful and manipulated her emotionally. She also accused him of pressuring her into financial commitments and controlling her decisions. In a dramatic turn, Unnati accidentally leaked Digvijay’s phone number while sharing screenshots of their conversations online.
From reality show conflicts to personal controversies, Digvijay Singh Rathee has remained in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s feuds with co-contestants or personal disputes making their way to social media, he continues to stir discussions and divide opinions.
