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 It seems that he has been replaced by another roadie Ayushmaan.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.
