The 50

The 50’s grand premiere on Sunday, February 1, 2026, saw a special surprise in Himesh Reshammiya. The singer was brought in for a reason, and he was not just a guest on the reality show. The Grand Premiere episode revealed Himesh Reshammiya as the gift to the contestants who had a rather rushed entry on the reality show. Himesh observed The Lion time-and-again, and interacted with him in signals. “Aapne bola isliye aana hi pada,” Himesh told the masked Lion.

What was Himesh Reshammiya doing at The 50 Grand Premiere?

Himesh Reshammiya was not just a guest at The 50 Grand Premiere. The singer was brought in for a purpose. He ran the first task that took place inside the palace. Right from the first task to second opportunity, the singer worked in association with the participants as well as The Lion to deliver live musical performances.

The first task was a replica of Takeshi’s Castle-esque tasks, where the contestants had to cross various obstacles and reach the end goal. Two teams (five members in each group including a captain) had to compete against one another and reach the goal before their opponent, as a team. The first team to enter wins while the other is unsafe. This took place in five rounds, and Himesh Reshammiya entertained through it. He, especially, played an important role when it came to the second opportunity for the contestants in the danger zone. The singer gave a live performance for musical chairs. Before giving a performance, he asked the contestants normal gau ya naak se? While the singer started singing normally initially, on special request, he crooned songs using his nasal power the second time around. After the round ended and the unsafe contestants were waiting for a decision, Himesh parted ways.

Who was evicted from The 50 on day 1?

Vanshaj Singh found himself at an undue disadvantage for trying to help out his team’s captain Urvashi Dholakia who was struggling to complete the task. While trying to help her out, Vanshaj got evicted under the terms of ‘not interacting much with the people around.’
