Speaking about “The 50”, Farah emphasized, “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 participants is unprecedented, and the constant pressure leaves no room for comfort.”

Having seen and judged almost every kind of reality format, I genuinely believe The 50 will change the way audiences look at reality television.”
