Arbaz Patel has steadily established himself as a strong and dependable presence in the Indian reality television landscape. With notable appearances on shows such as Rise and Fall, Bigg Boss Marathi 5, and MTV Splitsvilla 15, he has repeatedly demonstrated sharp game awareness, impressive physical endurance, and the ability to remain composed under pressure. Over time, Arbaz has built a reputation not merely as a participant but as a strategic player who understands the nuances of competitive formats and knows how to deliver when the stakes are high, making his entry into The 50 a journey that viewers are eager to follow.

Arbaz Patel on his gameplan


Bringing together 50 contestants under one roof, The 50 is designed to push individuals beyond their comfort zones, testing not only their physical strength but also their emotional resilience and strategic thinking. Reflecting on the fine line between authenticity and gameplay, Arbaz shared, “I feel this show exposes pretence very quickly. Clever gameplay helps, but only when it’s backed by clarity. I believe honesty with intention works better here because the game is long and intense. You can’t keep pretending—sooner or later, the truth comes out in your actions.”



On pressure to standout

Living alongside 49 competitors naturally amplifies the pressure, but Arbaz views it as an essential part of the journey rather than a setback. Speaking about how he maintains his confidence, he said, “Pressure is part of the journey. I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from being better than others, it comes from knowing yourself. I focus on my own growth and my own performance. As long as I’m improving every day, outside comparisons don’t really affect me.”

His outlook highlights that The 50 is far more than a test of physical ability or strategic maneuvering, it is equally a challenge of mental clarity, resilience, and authenticity. Arbaz’s mindset reflects a deep sense of self-awareness and discipline, qualities that often separate good contestants from truly memorable ones.

With focus, determination, and a commitment to staying genuine, Arbaz Patel appears ready to embrace the intensity of The 50. As the competition unfolds, his balanced approach and strong mental framework position him as one of the most compelling contestants to watch this season.
