Is Shiv Thakare Part Of Upcoming Show The 50? What We Know

Colors TV has a new reality show in the pipeline, and it wasted no time making noise. During the grand finale of Bigg Boss 19, the channel unveiled The 50, but did not put out a release date for the show.

The announcement confirmed it will have 50 contestants in one house, and there are no fixed rules. That alone was enough to trigger curiosity. Now, Shiv Thakare’s name is doing the rounds in connection with the show.

According to India Forums, Shiv has been approached for the reality show. There has been no confirmation from the channel or the production team, and Shiv has also not commented on the rumours.

What Is The 50 About?

The first promo of The 50 did not explain much. Salman Khan appeared on screen, symbolically handing over the baton to a lion. The visual made it clear the channel is pitching this as a scale-up, not just another spin on familiar reality TV. It will have a bigger cast, more chaos and fewer boundaries. Details about the show are still tightly guarded.

With the announcement out, speculation about potential participants kicked off almost instantly. Industry chatter suggests that the makers have begun sounding out names from television and the digital space. The idea, according to those tracking the development, is to bring together a mixed group from reality show regulars to influencers.

Why Shiv Thakare Fits The Format

Shiv’s reality TV journey has been long and largely consistent. He first caught attention on MTV Roadies, then went on to win Bigg Boss Marathi, a turning point that firmly placed him on the map.

His stint on Bigg Boss Hindi expanded his reach nationally. His grounded nature and calm approach struck a chord with viewers. That image has followed him since.
Post Bigg Boss, Shiv continued to stay in the reality space, taking on physically demanding formats like Khatron Ke Khiladi and later testing his performance skills on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Waiting On Official Word

If Shiv Thakare does sign on, The 50 would gain a contestant who understands long-format reality television and audience perception. That experience could matter in a house with 49 others and no clear rulebook.

For now, though, Colors TV is staying quiet with no confirmed names and no format details.
