Excitement among viewers is high as upcoming reality show 50 is set to premiere from February 1, 2026. Even before its launch, the show has become a hot topic and speculation surrounding its list of contestants has also started doing the rounds. Times of India TV has exclusively learnt that Bigg Boss 18 fame Chahat Pandey and Digvijay Singh Rathee have been confirmed for the show.The reality show is quite different from Bigg Boss and is being promoted as one of the biggest reality shows on Indian television. Unlike regular formats, The 50 brings 50 celebrities together under one roof for around 50 episodes. What makes it unique is that viewers don’t just watch the show—they actively take part by selecting contestants to support, and if their chosen contestant wins, they receive a share of the prize money.Farah Khan’s role as host has already created a lot of excitement, and with such a diverse mix of contestants, The 50 could become one of the biggest reality shows of the year.Earlier, in a statement, Farah Khan spoke about the show, she said, “Reality shows in India have followed a certain pattern for years, and finally The 50 is coming in to shake that up. The scale is massive, the number of people is unprecedented, and the constant pressure leaves no room for comfort. That’s exactly what makes it exciting—it’s intense, unpredictable, and a wild ride from start to finish. Comfort zone jaisi cheez yahaan exist hi nahi karti. Having seen and judged almost every kind of reality format, I genuinely believe The 50 will change the way audiences look at reality television.”
