Popular television personalities Karan Patel, Archana Gautam, Divya Aggarwal, and social media sensation Faisal Shaikh, widely known as Faisu, have been officially confirmed as contestants on the upcoming reality show The 50. The large-scale reality series is gearing up for its Indian debut and has already begun generating strong buzz with its star-studded lineup.

A source close to the development confirmed that the four popular faces will be part of the show and revealed that a massive, specially designed set has been constructed in Mumbai’s Madh Island area to accommodate the ambitious format. Produced by Banijay Asia, The 50 is being positioned as one of the biggest and most unconventional reality shows in India and will stream on JioHotstar while also airing on Colors.


Karan Patel, a well-known name in Indian television, is celebrated for his performances in hit shows like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. No stranger to reality television, he has previously participated in Nach Baliye 3, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6, and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, earning a reputation for his competitive spirit and outspoken nature.



Archana Gautam joins the show

Archana Gautam rose to nationwide fame following her stint on Bigg Boss 16, where she emerged as the third runner-up. Her bold personality and unfiltered opinions made her one of the most talked-about contestants of the season. Since then, she has appeared in shows such as Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, Celebrity MasterChef India, and Reality Ranis of the Jungle 2.

Divya Aggarwal's recent work

Divya Aggarwal is another strong contender, having built an impressive reality TV résumé. She was the runner-up of MTV Splitsvilla 10 and went on to win Ace of Space 1 and Bigg Boss OTT 1. She later transitioned into acting with her debut in the web series Ragini MMS: Returns 2.

Meanwhile, Faisu brings massive digital popularity to the show. Rising to fame through short-form content, he became a household name as part of the viral group Team 07. His growing influence expanded further with music videos and reality show appearances.

Adapted from the popular French format Les Cinquante, The 50 will feature 50 contestants living in a grand palace-like setting with no fixed rules, promising unpredictable alliances, strategy, drama, and intense gameplay. A recent promo featuring filmmaker Farah Khan teasing the show hinted at its disruptive nature, calling it a game-changer for Indian reality television.
