Within
a week of The 50's premiere, Karan Patel reportedly quit the Farah Khan-hosted show. A media report suggested that the actor had a few issues with some of his fellow contestants from day one.

The latest development is that Karan is likely to make a comeback on The 50. According to a paparazzo, the actor took a medical break after he sustained a rib injury on the show.
Karan Patel to make comeback on The 50?
As per the paparazzi account, Karan suffered a rib injury after his first task on
The 50. During an accidental collision with a fellow contestant, the actor was reportedly left in considerable pain. The actor, best known for
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, faced discomfort while coughing and lying down, the post suggested. These things made it difficult for Karan to continue physically demanding tasks in the reality show.
After taking medical advice, the television actor reportedly decided to take a short break. The doctors apparently confirmed that the actor's injury was a minor rib cage issue, being treated with medication. The good news is that Karan is apparently recovering and is expected to return to
The 50 soon.

Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with
Zoom, Karan revealed why he decided to make a comeback with Farah's reality show,
The 50. The actor said, "I don’t believe in comebacks as a concept—I believe in timing. The 50 came to me at a point where I was hungry to challenge myself again. The format is raw, unpredictable, and mentally demanding, and that excites me. I wanted something that pushes me out of my comfort zone, not something safe or repetitive."
