Karan Patel's Team breaks silence on UNDER PERFORMANCE in The 50

The reality show The 50 is getting more intense with every passing episode. Recently, popular television actor Karan Patel was evicted from the show, and soon after, reports began circulating that he had not performed well on the tasks. Addressing these claims, Karan’s team has released an official statement to clarify what it describes as misinformation and misleading narratives surrounding his participation and exit.

According to the statement, Karan entered the show from day one with complete commitment and professionalism. During the very first major task, co-contestant Sidharth Bhardwaj charged into him with significant force in a competitive round. The impact initially appeared to have caused a hairline rib fracture.

Despite experiencing severe pain and physical trauma, Karan chose to continue performing the task to the best of his ability, refusing to step back midway. However, as the discomfort increased, he underwent medical consultation and X-rays. The medical reports later confirmed that the injury was not a minor hairline fracture but a proper rib fracture.

Injury, Determination, and Return Despite Risk

Following the medical evaluation, Karan was advised to take a temporary break and was removed from the competition for consultation. Feeling responsible toward his fans and disappointed about not being able to perform for them, he decided to re-enter the show, even as a wildcard contestant, despite ongoing pain and medical risk.

The statement further notes that the upcoming episodes will showcase his active participation and strong performance on tasks. It also clarifies that certain circulating images and clips showing Karan resting or lying down have been taken out of context. Those moments were part of his recovery process and not signs of laziness or avoidance.

Karan was reportedly on prescribed oral painkillers and had to take intramuscular injections to manage the pain caused by the fractured rib. After completing physically demanding, high-intensity tasks, he would rest as advised by his medical team to prepare for the next challenge.

A Voluntary Exit Due to Medical Compulsion

The statement emphasises that Karan chose dignity over drama and did not engage in shouting matches, unnecessary aggression, or name-calling for the sake of screen time. His focus remained on performance and professionalism rather than theatrics.

However, the continuous physical strain from the demanding tasks aggravated the injury. Upon strict medical advice, he had no option but to take a voluntary exit from the show. His departure, the team clarified, was not a strategic move but a health necessity.

The team has requested media houses and digital platforms to refrain from spreading misleading narratives suggesting that he was “sleeping through tasks” or “underperforming.” They stated that Karan’s journey ended due to medical reasons, not a lack of effort, and expressed gratitude for his fans' continued love and support.
