Reality television is set to witness the return of Sidharth Bhardwaj as he gears up to participate in The 50, a format that promises unpredictability, strategy, and constant evolution. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, the reality star opened up about his mindset, nerves, and why this show feels like the right comeback for him.

Sidharth admits that nervousness is very much part of the process, and he sees it as a positive sign rather than a weakness. “Well, yes and no. If you’re not a little nervous, you’re not taking the game seriously. I think it’s healthy to be nervous,” he shared. According to him, The 50 stands apart because of its novelty. “This is a first of its kind format in India. It’s fast paced, unpredictable, and will really reveal who the true strategists are. Since it’s the first season, no one knows what’s coming, and that uncertainty makes it exciting.”
For Sidharth, the show is not about using past experiences as a roadmap but about staying present in the moment. “For me, this isn’t about what’s next, it’s about what’s now. Right now, my focus is completely on The 50. I’ve realised that when you start planning too far ahead, you stop being present,” he said. While he remains open to future projects, his priorities have shifted. “Post the show, I’m open to opportunities that reflect who I am today and work that challenges me, not just repeats my past.”

Having closely observed the international versions of the format, Sidharth believes The 50 rewards intelligence over familiarity. “What I know of the show internationally, it doesn’t reward formulas, it rewards thinking.” After doing several established reality shows in India, he felt the need for something different. “I’ve done most of the legacy reality shows in India, and there wasn’t much left that felt new. The 50 felt like the next evolution. No templates, no comfort zones. It demands instinct, adaptability, and real time thinking.”
Flexibility, according to him, will be the key to survival. “In The 50, flexibility isn’t a tactic, it’s survival. In a format like this, fixed strategies won’t work. You have to stay alert, adapt constantly, and think on your feet. A lot will unfold unexpectedly, and the game will change every day.”
With this mindset, Sidharth Bhardwaj is ready to embrace the chaos, strategy, and intensity that The 50 promises to deliver.
