Mr Faisu Opens Up About The 50 Reality Show Experience
Popular social media influencer Faisal Shaikh, widely known as Mr Faisu, is set to make his appearance on the highly anticipated captive reality show The 50. The show brings together numerous well-known faces from Indian television, reality programming, and social media platforms, creating a diverse and competitive environment. Mr Faisu will be entering the show alongside his close friends Adnaan Shaikh and Faiz Baloch, marking a significant moment in his entertainment career.
Why Mr Faisu Chose to Participate in The 50
In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Mr Faisu revealed his motivations for joining The 50. He explained that the show's activity-based format strongly appealed to him, as he enjoys engaging in physical challenges and tasks. Reflecting on his previous reality show experiences, he noted that all of them involved some form of activity, making this show a natural fit for his interests.
Mr Faisu also highlighted a practical advantage of The 50 compared to other reality shows like Bigg Boss. He mentioned that participants receive food on the show, which he considers a positive aspect. However, he acknowledged that the restriction on phone usage could pose a challenge for him and other contestants.
When discussing his mindset before entering the show, Mr Faisu shared, "I am not going to waste my mental energy thinking what the show has in store for us, because it won't go as planned. But I am nervous, and that's why I did the show. I get a kick out of shows like these. I love the anxiety, depression, and stress that come with it."
Advantages and Disadvantages of Having Friends on the Show
Mr Faisu provided a candid assessment of having his friends Adnaan Shaikh and Faiz Baloch alongside him on The 50. He pointed out that their presence offers significant emotional support, especially during moments of breakdown or stress. Given that he tends to experience emotional challenges during reality shows, having his friends nearby can be comforting and advantageous.
However, Mr Faisu also recognized potential drawbacks. He expressed concern that other contestants might perceive him as playing it safe by entering the show with a pre-formed group. This perception could influence nominations and strategic gameplay, putting him at a disadvantage in certain situations.
Mr Faisu elaborated on his personal strengths and weaknesses within the game. He believes his fitness level will be a major asset during physical activities and challenges. While he admitted to being cunning in real life, he has not yet engaged in mind games on reality shows. He also acknowledged that he has a low tolerance for provocation, which could become a disadvantage in the high-pressure environment of a captive reality show.
He remarked, "In a captive reality show, people do anything when they get frustrated. I don't know what I do." This statement underscores the unpredictable nature of such programs and the potential for extreme reactions under stress.
Reflections on Past Reality Show Experiences
Mr Faisu has participated in several reality shows in the past, often coming close to victory but ultimately falling short. When asked about these experiences, he shared a philosophical perspective. He explained that while he always enters shows with the intention to win, he recognizes two types of successful participants: those who win titles and trophies, and those who win the hearts of the audience.
Mr Faisu feels that he has consistently achieved the latter, even without securing the top prize. He attributes this ability to connect with viewers to his upbringing and personal background, which have helped him resonate with audiences on an emotional level.
Relationships with Fellow Contestants and Game Strategy
Regarding his relationships with other contestants on The 50, Mr Faisu revealed that he considers most of them friends and does not harbor any rivalries. He has previously interviewed many of them on his talk show, establishing a rapport that could influence interactions within the game.
Mr Faisu expressed openness to forming new bonds during the show, while also acknowledging that existing friendships might be tested or broken under pressure. He emphasized the importance of being mindful about words and reactions in such an intense environment.
He stated, "I am the kind of person who will respond nicely even if someone fights with me, but if someone misbehaves, then I will deal with them my way. I don't indulge in physical violence, though I like keeping friendships. But this show comes with pressure, so I might change."
Show Schedule and Broadcasting Details
The 50 is scheduled to stream on JioHotstar from Monday to Sunday at 9 pm. Additionally, the show will air on Colors TV at 10:30 pm, ensuring wide accessibility for viewers across different platforms. This dual broadcasting strategy aims to maximize audience reach and engagement for the captivating reality series.
