When the makers of The 50 first approached her, Nikki chose to hold back, carefully evaluating whether the show aligned with her personal and professional goals.

But the kind of love, requests, and excitement I received from my fans really touched me. On top of that, the opportunity made complete professional sense. Sometimes, you listen to your instinct – and sometimes, you listen to the people who’ve always stood by you.”

About The 50
A glimpse was unveiled earlier this month, where at the centre of the intrigue is Farah Khan, who reacts to The 50 and its host, The Lion, in her trademark unfiltered style and is seen saying “Badalne waali hai reality shows ki reality,” prompting her to question why she hasn’t been called for what’s being touted as India’s biggest reality show.
Speaking about the show, Farah Khan 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.”
Backed by Banijay Asia, The 50 is a successful reality show franchise across the globe, now all set to make its debut in India. It brings together fifty contestants in a high-pressure environment where every move counts. Towering over the game is the Lion, an unseen yet powerful authority figure whose presence defines the rules, the risks, and the rewards.
The 50 is expected to stream from February 1st on JioHotstar and also air on Colors.
