  • Shiv Thakare rumored to win The 50, no official confirmation yet
  • Prince Narula and Shiv deny major conflicts in the house
  • Five contestants eliminated, surprising viewers and changing dynamics

The excitement surrounding The 50 has increased significantly. After filming concluded, the participants exited the house and started to express their initial thoughts, with rumoured winner Shiv Thakare and Prince Narula appearing more entertained than tired by the ordeal.

There have been reports doing the rounds that Shiv Thakare has emerged as the winner of the reality show. Although there hasn't been any official confirmation so far, responses from Shiv and co-contestant Prince Narula emerged shortly after filming wrapped up. Both were asked about potential conflicts within the house, but they rejected allegations of significant disagreements.

Telly Chakkar reports that Prince remarked, “Bahar aa ke humein lag raha hai ghar acha tha," reminiscing about their experience indoors. (Now that we have come out, we miss the house). Shiv also remarked on the strange atmosphere in the house, noting that animals were there. Prince mentioned that their visit seemed more pleasurable than competitive. "Bahut kam dikhi hai par humne bahut maza kiya hai.” (Animals were not seen too often, but we had a lot of fun).

Discussing life in the house, Shiv mentioned that they adhered to a dietary regimen during the filming.

He expressed, “Laga hi nahi game khelne gaye hain. " (It did not feel like we were there to play the game).

The two participants noted that the show's intricate set resembled their homes in Mumbai, emphasising that the main distinction was the greater space within The 50 House.

Reports regarding the finale have intensified conversations. A Film Window report stated that Prince surrendered his ticket to the finale for Shiv, leading to Prince’s exit and Shiv moving forward as a finalist. Later reports indicated that Shiv claimed the trophy, while Mr. Faisu was identified as the second-place winner. Nonetheless, those assertions were subsequently refuted after it was disclosed that finale promos were filmed with every finalist.

Certain eliminations took viewers by surprise, particularly when strong contestants were ousted due to alliance dynamics rather than poor performance. These initial exits have already altered group dynamics within the show.
