Bebika Dhurve on Accepting ‘The 50’ After Rejecting It Twice, Manisha Rani & Influencers in the Show

Описание: In an exclusive chat with India Forums, Bebika opens up about joining the highly anticipated reality show “The 50”, calling it a never-seen-before concept in the legacy of Indian reality television. Filled with excitement and a little nervousness, she shares how living in a mansion with 50 contestants will be a completely new experience for her, especially since she isn’t overly social and prefers keeping a small circle.

Bebika reveals that she initially rejected the show twice before finally saying yes the third time, explaining how she had turned down several projects in 2025 because the concepts didn’t excite her or the casting didn’t feel right. However, she didn’t want to miss such a big opportunity, even knowing that among 50 contestants there would be people she might not get along with.

Talking about the mastermind of the game, the “Lion,” she describes him as a strong and dignified personality from whom everyone will learn a lot throughout the journey. She also shares a fun anecdote about jokingly challenging the Lion in a reel, calling it a playful moment rather than a serious dare.

Bebika speaks passionately about strong women in the industry and mentions big names like Urvashi Dholakia, Hina Khan, Rubina Dilaik, and Ridhi Dogra, calling them inspirational figures who have faced immense scrutiny yet continue to shine. She reflects on how society often struggles to accept a successful woman who is happy, independent, and achieving great things.

When asked about influencers being part of reality shows, Bebika openly shares her opinion that artists who have grown gradually through auditions and hard work tend to be more authentic and grounded compared to those who gain sudden fame through social media. She explains that while she doesn’t dislike influencers, she believes real talent and strong values come from years of struggle and experience.

She also reacts to reports of Manisha Rani being part of the show, saying she is currently focused only on her own journey and performance rather than thinking about other contestants.

Finally, Bebika gives a heartfelt message to her fans, expressing how proud she is of their hard work and achievements in life. She urges them to support her in this challenging journey, as “The 50” promises intense tasks, multiple challenges in a single day, and a raw, non-glamorous side of reality television.
