The 50 continues to strengthen its contestant lineup with the addition of Neelam Giri, a popular face known for her strong connect with audiences and her authentic on screen presence. A well established name in the Bhojpuri film industry, Neelam won hearts last year during her stint on Bigg Boss 19, where she emerged as one of the most loved contestants.
