After a three-year hiatus from television, Shiny Doshi is all set to make a grand comeback with the high-octane reality show The 50, premiering on February 1, 2026, on Colors TV and streaming on JioHotstar. Fans of the actress, who won hearts as Dhara in Pandya Store, are eager to see her tackle a brand-new challenge in the reality space.
Speaking about her preparations, Shiny revealed, “The preparations for The 50 are in full swing. I don’t have time to sleep or eat… The practice is mentally intense, and on top of that, I have to work out. So yes, the preparations are complete.” The comments underline the physical and mental rigor she is undertaking ahead of the premiere.
Shiny admitted she was both excited and nervous about the project. “It’s quite a big project with many contestants. Mentally, I’m super excited and looking forward to this opportunity,” she said. Unlike her stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi, The 50 will test her endurance without the support of friends or family, placing her resilience under the spotlight.
The reality show, based on the globally popular Banijay format inspired by the French series Les Cinquante, brings together 50 celebrities and creators living in a luxurious “palace.” A mysterious overseer, known only as “The Lion,” challenges contestants with strategy-led games, high-stakes decisions, and unpredictable twists over 50 episodes.
Shiny joins a star-studded lineup including Faisal Shaikh (Faisu), Divya Agarwal, Karan Patel, and Monalisa. With strategy, celebrity dynamics, and surprises at every turn, the show promises to keep viewers hooked from the first episode.
Her return to television highlights Shiny Doshi’s versatility and willingness to step out of her comfort zone. Fans are eager to see how the former Pandya Store star navigates the competitive, high-pressure environment of The 50 and whether she has what it takes to emerge victorious in this unprecedented reality experience.
