A globally successful format owned by Banijay, The 50 is all set to make its much-anticipated Indian debut, streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors, bringing together a powerful mix of celebrities and creators in a game driven by strategy, alliances, and survival.

Faisal Shaikh shares his excitement



Sharing his excitement about joining the show, Faisu said, “Having been part of multiple reality shows, I’ve always enjoyed the thrill of competition and the chance to connect with audiences. The 50 on JioHotstar takes that experience to another level, allowing me to be completely real — my mindset, emotions, and strategies. It’s exciting to compete alongside such a diverse mix of celebrities and creators, form genuine bonds, do tasks, and give audiences an entertaining, unfiltered side of me.”

With Faisu entering the game, expectations rise for intense gameplay, emotional moments, and unexpected alliances. As The 50 continues to unveil its lineup, audiences can look forward to a reality experience that is bold, unpredictable, and driven by real personalities.

Karan Patel on entering the show

Earlier, Karan Patel shared, "Being locked in a house for a month, away from friends and family, was never something I imagined for myself. But the moment I heard the concept of the show; there was an instant desire to be a part of it. The 50 excites me, the games, the competition, and the madness that comes with it. I’m looking forward to meeting my fellow contestants, hopefully some familiar faces, and giving it my all. I’ve always believed in content that entertains responsibly, and that’s exactly what drew me to this game-based format. For me, this show is about fun, positivity, and healthy competition. I want to be very clear about one thing: unnecessary chaos, character assassination, or foul language is something I will not tolerate. I’m here purely for entertainment and honest gameplay, not to spread negativity or cross lines. Most of all, I hope to bring smiles to those watching—and yes, I’ll be giving it my absolute best to take the trophy home!!"

The 50 premieres on 1st February, streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors, promising a reality experience that is bigger, bolder, and truly game changing.
