Address: Town Hall, Opp. Sakar II, Ellis Bridge, Ahmedabad
The wait is finally over. Roadies is back with a bang and this time it really hurts more than it ever did!! The telecast of the sixth season of the most popular youth reality show kicked off today with the first set of auditions. For the first time auditions happened in Ahmedabad, the capital of Gujarat.
There has been a big change which may garner mixed opinion from viewers. Rannvijay the first roadie and the man, who hosted the earlier seasons was missing. It seems that he has been replaced by another roadie Ayushmaan. Though it’s too early to draw comparisons, but the female viewers have certainly got a reason to complain!
The town hall was hounded by hordes of crazy young people trying to get footage on camera. The initial method chosen to narrow down the search for Roadies was a Group discussion. The GD was moderated by Ranjit (Chottu), Clyde (self proclaimed sex God) and surprisingly, the boss himself, Ashish Patil. A select few interesting people were shortlisted for the final interview.
The twin terror was indeed a nightmare for the people. Raghu Ram and his twin brother Rajiv Lakshman lived up to all the hype that has been created about the one-on- one session. They pushed the people to their limits and asked all sorts of difficult and uncomfortable questions. Surprisingly, Raghu who is otherwise known as a tormentor was calmer and he let Rajiv enjoy his first brush with the limelight. We have to admit; Rajiv was blunt and cynical and gave all the shortlisted people a hard time.

* Roadies 6.0 particiants will have double trouble as they will not only be grilled by the well-known tormentor Raghu Ram but also by his twin brother Rajiv Lakshman. Nikhil Chinappa and his madness will unfortunately be missed in the auditions this time!
* The auditions are taking place in 6 cities and the number of Roadies has been increased to 20. Conspiracies and scheming will touch new heights as the number of contenders almost double this time.
* Australia is the international destination chosen for Roadies 6.0. It’s a well known fact that a large part of the continent is uninhabited due to unsuitable conditions and deadly terrains. Surviving in this adventure show only gets tougher this time.
* It’s a scientific fact that there are more ways of dying due to the uneven natural topography and diverse physical features in Australia than anywhere else in the world. The Roadies journey this time would be quite life threatening as well.
* The venues for audition this time are:
1. Chandigarh
2. Delhi
3. Mumbai
4. Bangalore
5. Ahmedabad
6. Kolkata
*The show will be hosted by not one but two former roadies, Ranvijay and Bani J this time. The prize money has also been doubled this time to whopping 10 lakhs this time.
*The auditions in Delhi had to be put on hold after mismanagement. There was a stampede as almost 5000 people turned up, a figure which the organizers were unprepared for. This indicates how popular this show is amongst the youth of our country.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…
If that reminds of the Golden Words written on The Statue of Liberty, you are grossly mistaken my dear readers. That should be underlying message of the show which has given us respite from the boring, monotonous and unusually predictable K soaps. The game show which took the Generation Y by storm five years back and has only got better with each season. No points for guessing, it’s indeed MTV Roadies, the brainchild of Raghu Ram.
It’s coming back. Gear up for the adrenaline rush and the high action packed drama. The auditions are over and the Roadies have already been selected. The show which took the whole generation Y by storm will soon be aired for the sixth consecutive year. This is the first Indian reality adventure show which witnessed great success in the first season itself. Its one show which is completely of the youth, by the youth and for the youth. There is just no room for preachers in the show which brings out the wild side of eccentric young generation.
Raghu Ram, Executive Producer MTV said, “Those who think they have figured out Roadies, the auditions or the journey are in for the shock of their lives. Getting selected or surviving the auditions itself is going to be twice as tough with Rajiv.” After the super success of Season 5, the season 6 will be an absolute entertainer. To make things tougher and meaner Raghu’s brother Rajiv was also made a part of audition process which recently got over. Auditions have never been a easy as the contestants are grilled to the core to check their ability to take on the pressure and dangers which the long hard journey of a Roadie encompasses.

Akshsay Kumar Declared the results of Big Boss 2 Jumbo Finale, Ashutosh Kaushik wins Rs 1 Crore Cash. Zulfi Syed and Raja are out of competition.
The dhababoy, the rustic man and the obscure, unknown Sahranpur lad has done it again. Ashutosh Kaushik is the winner of the Bigg Boss Season 2. Unbelievable!! Did some one not once beautifully remark that ‘Best things happen in life when you least expect them to happen’.
Ashutosh is indeed a ‘destiny child’. Amongst all the big names vying for the title he was the weakest contender as he had only one show to his credit ‘Roadies’. The other housemates were all well established in the industry and well known in the entertainment fraternity. This goes on to prove that the fan following of the popular youth adventure show is so huge that it actually managed to bring this boy to the top.
Ashutosh hails from a very small town in Uttar Pradesh. The results testify that any individual cannot be underestimated on the basis of his roots or his past. Another thing which must be highlighted here is that audience has become very powerful as the final verdict is in their hands. The audience has favored him because they must have felt that his needs were greater than Raja Kaushik or Zulfi Syed. We can’t undermine the power which has been rested in the hands of the viewers and no wonder, Indian viewers are exercising their power in full force.
The Jumbo Finale was a treat to watch. Shilpa Shetty looked absolutely stunning and hosted the show with lot of panache. She beautifully managed the thin line between anxiety about results and unnecessary dragging which generally vexes the viewers. The event was start studded as Akshay Kumar graced the finale in an effort to promote his upcoming movie ‘Jumbo’. No points for guessing why the finale got such a name!!
All the housemates who got evicted during the course of the show gave mesmerizing performances. Rakhi Sawant, housemate in the Bigg Boss Season 1, kick started the finale with her sizzling item number. Ravi Kissen danced to the tuned of ‘Om Shanti Om’ in which Diana Hayden and Ehsaan Qureshi also gave ‘blink and miss’ appearance. All the rumors about Sambhavna’s foot injury were proved wrong when she put the stage on fire with her performance. Payal Rohatgi and Monika Bedi also got a fair chance to shake their legs in the finale. Debojit Saha’s melodious voice was put to good use by the producers.
Rahul Mahajan won the title for ‘Sabse Bada Dilwaala’ and is now the proud owner of a new car launched by General Motors. He was chosen by the housemates themselves. Rahul was put into the tight spot when Shilpa tried to know the future of his relationship with Monika. When it got too uncomfortable for him, Shilpa didn’t prod any further and gave respect to his privacy.

Ravi Kissen, the first runner up of Bigg Boss season 1 came to the house of Bigg Boss to boost the morale of this season’s finalists. Ravi Kissen looked very different in his new look. He has become fat and the unshaven face was not vey appealing.
The housemates were taken aback by this surprise as they were casually enjoying a party thrown by Bigg Boss. They gave him a warm welcome and Raja in particular was very excited. Ravi knew him before he became a part of the show as Raja himself has produced a couple of unknown Bhojpuri films. It was Ravi’s first meeting with Zulfi Syed and Ashutosh Kaushik.
Ravi danced with the housemates and he looked quite weird with that beard and this image makeover. One of the housemates even commented on his somewhat white stubble, he said that he was growing older. The contestants and Ravi kept talking till around two at night. Most of their discussion centered on the life inside the house and how it changes after leaving the house. He explained that all the bonds which are forged inside the house are soon forgotten. People don’t even make an effort to message their fellow housemates and it’s a classic case of ‘Out of sight and Out of Mind’. All the people move on and don’t get the time to look back and remain friends with the people they met on the show.

‘Life comes in a full circle’. The countdown for the JUMBO FINALE has begun and three finalists are being made to perform one of the most entertaining tasks of Bigg Boss Season 2 once again. The only difference is that earlier this task was executed by eleven housemates and now its only three members doing the student-teacher act.
Ashutosh Kaushik is still the principal of the ‘Paathshaala’ and Zulfi Syed and Raja Kaushik are the students. Ashutosh had to teach all the subjects to the class. He is definitely a poor replacement for Debojit Saha, the teacher who earlier taught music and Payal Rohatgi who was a sizzling dance teacher.
Ashutosh was asked to teach a poem of Shakespeare to the class ‘Fear No More’. A beautiful and emotional poem became totally hilarious when Ashutosh gave his interpretation of the poem. The difficult words were nicely related to the common Hindi words and that completely changed the meaning of the sentence.
Zulfi, in particular kept pulling his leg by asking meaning of all the words to hear Ashutosh’s creative version. It was a rib tickling session and the best part was when he purposely fell down trying to show the exhaustion of teaching such difficult subjects. He nicely enacted his role of a Principal and added a lot of humor to simple sentences.

Nostalgia is in the air of Bigg Boss house these days. The last week is a hard time for the housemates as they are flooded with memories of the time they spent in the house. Bigg Boss tried to bring back the memories which had almost faded by specially putting together various shots of the good and the bad times the housemates spent. It was shown to the boys and who watched it in pin drop silence as the past was flashing back in front of their eyes.
The trip down the memory lane aroused a lot of sentiments in the boys. They later joked that Bigg Boss had been a little biased in only putting the good things in that video. They even wanted to watch the ‘not so good’ times which were spent in bitching about each other and hatching conspiracies. The impact of that video was so much that a greater part of the day went in discussing their favorite shots and how all the housemates looked so different in front of camera.
Bigg Boss didn’t want to lose out on this opportunity when the housemates looked overwhelmed with emotions. The finalists were given another task based on the moments spent in the past. The boys had to recall three instances from their stay of ninety four days which are memorable and special for them.

The nominations which happened immediately after the rebellious run-away act of the four housemates have been cancelled by Bigg Boss. Ashutosh Kaushik, Raja Chaudhary and Zulfi Syed have now been declared the finalists of the Bigg Boss game show. Rahul Mahajan decided to quit the show with this motive. He wanted these nominations which had happened in a very secretive manner to be cancelled.
Bigg Boss announced this decision in a very interesting way. It’s a well known fact that these housemates have no access to phones from the last three months. An Airtel counter was made with a phone for purely commercial reasons!! Bigg Boss called up and told Zulfi about his decision. This was a breather for the two members who were in a confused state about their nomination status.
The housemates were overjoyed by this decision and thanked Bigg Boss for it. Bigg Boss tried to make the moment special by arranging cake and champagne for the housemates. The three boys celebrated the occasion as now they are a step closer to the big money. They danced but somehow the enthusiasm was missing.

The Bigg Boss housemates are counting their last days and hours in the house where they have spend more than three months. With three housemates left, the house already wears a deserted look. The last few days have been the most turbulent times which were remotely expected by the members and show organizers.
Bigg Boss housemates have come a long way and have learnt innumerable lessons from their stay in the house. One lesson which they failed to understand was of patience and satisfaction. Bigg Boss taught that lesson yesterday but in a very sarcastic way. The root cause of the daring act of stepping foot outside the house was insufficient food. It was only from the housemates’ perspective as rice and pulses are a staple food in most of the Indian houses.
All the four boys had suddenly become too demanding and forgot that the essential part of the stay in house is Self-control. Yesterday, the task given to housemates was a way of conveying this bigger message of life which they had forgotten in life because they had always seen things in plenty. The housemates were instructed to prepare ‘simple food’ for the surprise guests in the house. The words ‘simple food’ invoked deeper sentiments in the members and a realization dawned on them about the mistake they had made.

Another shocking event happened in the Bigg Boss house. The key contender for the prize money, Rahul Mahajan has quit the show. Saturday’s infamous escapade led to this melodramatic situation in the game show.
The housemates kept discussing the consequences of their Saturday adventure and how the essence of the show was lost. Zulfi Syed and Raja Chaudhary were going through a guilt trip and accusing themselves for being so impatient. They both felt apologetic about their action and maybe this feeling was aggravated after yesterday’s unplanned nominations. They both felt that they were not worthy of winning the prize money. Ashutosh Kaushik did not take a clear stand on what he felt about his action that day.
Rahul Mahajan did not agree with the other three partners in crime. When Bigg Boss raised this question again in the house, Raja, Zulfi and Ashutosh admitted their mistake and showed regret over their behavior. Rahul, however refused to apologize as he was of the opinion that a mistake had even been made by Bigg Boss as they were not provided nutritious diet. Even when the other housemates tried to convince him that under no circumstances they should have resorted to such an extreme step, he was firm on his stand.
Rahul Mahajan took complete responsibility of Saturday’s event and expressed his desire to quit the show. He took this decision so as to prevent the nomination process from happening. The members tried to stop him from quitting the show just 5 days before the finale. Rahul Mahajan was adamant and did not want to continue his stay in the house. He made it clear to them that he had no interest in the 1 crore prize and he came here with a different purpose.
