There is diversity in the type of people who have participated, like one of them is a 35-year-old mother, another is a standup comedian based in Mumbai.

He had hosted Biggest Loser Jeetega on Sahara One ten years ago, but it didn't work out for him. Since he has always been passionate about fitness, he took on the challenge of the show. He adds that he loved playing cricket as a child and it was his sheer passion for fitness that got him through his initial days in the industry.Suniel Shetty took a break from the camera for almost four years and is coming back on screen with this show.
