Like we had already informed you, Mr. Faisu aka Faisal Shaikh is among one of the confirmed contestants of The 50. The confirmation came when Karan Patel confirmed himself as the first contestant of the upcoming reality show with his ticket. Now, Mr. Faisu, a known internet personality, shared his own entry ticket to the show through an Instagram reel.
How did Mr Faisu confirm he’s a part of The 50?
Mr Faisu aka Faisal Shaikh confirmed he’s a part of the reality show The 50. He shared an Instagram reel confirming the same. This comes hours after we revealed that he is indeed a part of the upcoming reality show along with a few other contestants who are just waiting for the right moment to make an official announcement.
What was Karan Patel’s The 50 announcement like?
Unlike Mr. Faisu, Karan Patel had shared pictures of starting his The 50 journey soon. He was confirmed as the first contestant of the show whose emblem is The Lion. Interestingly, Karan has already been a part of Rohit Shetty’s Khatron Ke Khiladi but never participated on Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss as a contestant. The same holds true for Mr. Faisu.
Is Farah Khan the host for The 50?
Farah Khan has constantly hinted that she could be hosting The 50. She is seen as a part of the promos anytime the show is concerned, but there is no confirmation on the same yet. One thing is confirmed – Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt or Karan Johar is not hosting the reality show. This leaves the mystery to who is hosting the Indian version of the French show Les Cinquante adaptation still unsolved. For the uninitiated, The 50 was announced right after Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 wrapped up.
