Here’s a quick look at who each finalist is:
🏆 Prince Narula — Reality TV royalty. Winner of Roadies, Splitsvilla, and Bigg Boss 9, Prince is arguably the most decorated contestant in the palace. A natural leader and fierce competitor, he remains a frontrunner throughout.
👸 Yuvika Chaudhary — Prince’s real-life wife and a seasoned TV actress. She’s been anything but his shadow — clocking the fastest relay time in Episode 19 to earn the coveted Golden Card, proving she’s a standalone threat.
💪 Rajat Dalal — The fitness influencer and strongman who entered as one of the most physically dominant contestants. His real-life romance with Chahat Pandey kept him in headlines, and his strategic mind kept him in the game.
🎤 Shiv Thakare — The Bigg Boss 16 runner-up brought his calm, calculated gameplay into the palace. Shiv Thakare is reported to be the winner of The 50, allegedly winning a climactic solo puzzle task in the finale shoot. Wikipedia Don’t take that as gospel — leaks have been wrong before.
🕺 Mr. Faisu — TikTok sensation turned mainstream star, Faisal Shaikh proved every skeptic wrong. Emerging as a natural leader inside the palace, he went head-to-head with TV veterans and held his own brilliantly throughout.
🦵 Krishna Shroff — Jackie Shroff’s daughter brought athletic power and quiet intensity. Krishna reportedly completed the finale puzzle task in around 25 minutes, setting the first benchmark timing of the finale. Wikipedia Underrated, but never out of contention.
🎙️ Immortal Kaka — The Punjabi music sensation with a massive fanbase. His loyal army of fans kept voting him through tough weeks, but Immortal Kaka reportedly struggled to complete the finale puzzle task, putting him out of title contention. Wikipedia
👗 Manisha Rani — The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and fan favourite. Known for her emotional gameplay and genuine connections, Manisha’s warmth made her one of the most-loved contestants of the season.
🎭 Urvashi Dholakia — The iconic Komolika of Indian TV. A veteran who commanded authority from Day 1, Urvashi’s experience and personality kept her relevant in a house full of digital-age competitors.
🌸 Ridhi Dogra, Archana Gautam, Nehal Chudasama, Lovekesh Kataria, Lakshay Kaushik, Hamid Barkzi, Aarushi Chawla, Siwet Tomar & Vikrant Singh — A mix of scripted TV stars, former beauty queens, fighters, and entertainers who each brought something unique to the palace dynamic and survived when others didn’t.
The Season’s Defining Moments
From the Vanshaj vs Karan Patel cold war to Chahat Pandey’s tearful exit, and Mr. Faisu’s epic clapback to Prince Narula’s comment about influencers — The 50 delivered pure, unscripted drama every single day. The generational clash between TV stars and content creators ran like a red thread through the entire season.
