In an exclusive chat with mid day, social media star Faisal Shaikh, popularly known as Faisu, opened up about stepping into the high pressure reality show The 50, his mindset going in, and why this journey is deeply personal for him.

Faisu talks about the stunts and former experience

Talking about the format of the show, Faisu made it clear that this is not about flashy stunts. “I’m well versed, but this is not going to be a powerful, dynamic stunt. These are going to be small activities and tasks in the arena. There are going to be a lot of mind games here,” he said, adding that the challenge will be mental as much as physical. Despite the uncertainty, he maintained a calm optimism. “I’m well prepared. I haven’t prepared myself for anything yet. I’m positive. I’ll try to do well. If it goes well, it will go well. If it doesn’t go well, I’ll try to do well. That is for sure.”
