Shrutika Arjun is all set to make her comeback on the reality show, The 50. The contestant, who had to quit the show after being diagnosed with an eye infection, is all set to come back. Her team confirmed the news, while sharing an update about when would she be back.
“Little eye trouble, big comeback loading… Shrutika will be back on the 50 in 3–5 days,” the team shared on Sunday, March 1, 2026. They called it the ‘plot twist,’ while confirming her condition.
Sharing the reason behind her sudden eviction from the show, the team shared that Shrutika was not diagnosed with conjunctivitis but an eye condition. She got viral flu with high fever and stomach infection, too. The team confirmed that she did not want to stay away from the show for too long.
Munawar Faruqui is the latest guest to appear on The 50. He was on the reality show to promote his own reality show, The Society season 2. The second season, much like the first, will be available on JioHotstar. It is set to premiere on March 9, 2026. The reality show keeps the theme of the original, where the contestants are divided on the basis of class – regulars, elite and rags. This suggests that while the core theme of the show remains the same, the challenges will be slightly different.
The 50, premiered on February 1, 2026, is expected to come to an end on March 22, 2026. It is however to be noted that the official date for the grand finale has not been revealed. It currently features Prince Narula, Karan Patel, Nikki Tamboli, Shiv Thakare, Rajat Dalal, Nehal Chudasama, Lovekesh Kataria, Krishna Shroff, Mr. Faisu, Siwet Tomar, Arbaz Patel, and Ridhi Dogra among others as the contestants.
