Moreover, Sapna assured her fans that she will play the game with complete honesty, passion, and heart. Her bold personality is expected to bring raw energy to the show.
Farah Khan and the 50 Lakh Twist
Meanwhile, the makers have introduced a jaw-dropping twist. Farah Khan, who is set to host the show, revealed in a new promo that viewers can win ₹50 Lakh by predicting the winner. This interactive element ensures that fans are not just spectators but active participants in the journey. Farah added a playful touch by saying, “Production koi aur judge dhundh lo, mai fan banne ja rahi hun,” cleverly confirming her role as the host while teasing her excitement.
Importantly, The 50 will premiere on Sunday, February 1, 2026. The first episode will stream exclusively on Jio Hotstar at 9 pm IST. Later, the same episode will air on Colors TV at 10:30 pm IST, giving television audiences a chance to catch the action. This dual-platform release strategy is expected to maximize viewership and create nationwide buzz.
Other Contestants Creating Buzz
In a major entertainment coup Rubina and Hina’s entry is predicted to skyrocket TRPs, as both stars are known for their fierce gameplay and magnetic screen presence. Rubina, celebrated for her commanding personality, and Hina, admired for her consistency as a TRP queen, are expected to redefine celebrity reality showdowns. Alongside them, viewers will also witness Krishna Shroff, Nikki Tamboli, Arbaz Patel, Nehal Chudasama, Chahat Pandey, Urvashi Dholakia, Divya Agarwal, Shiv Thakare, Ridhi Dogra, Prince Narula, and Sapna Choudhary, making The 50 a truly star-packed extravaganza.
Backed by Banijay Asia, The 50 is adapted from the French reality hit Les Cinquante. The Indian version will feature 50 contestants competing inside a lavish palace setting. Unlike traditional reality shows, there will be no fixed rules, which means politics, alliances, and betrayals will dominate the gameplay. This unpredictability is what makes the format globally successful, and now Indian audiences are set to experience it firsthand.
All in all, The 50 is shaping up to be one of the biggest reality television events of 2026. With Farah Khan as host, Sapna Choudhary’s fiery entry, and the possible participation of Rubina Dilaik and Hina Khan, the show promises a perfect blend of glamour, grit, and drama. Moreover, the 50 Lakh twist ensures that fans remain deeply invested in the journey. As February 1 approaches, the excitement continues to build, and viewers can hardly wait to witness the spectacle unfold.
