She is tall, pretty, smart, and confident and above all she is a Delhiite. Yes, she’s a proud Delhi Roadie, Neha Kapoor. A former air hostess who wanted to do some adventure in life has now found a perfect way of doing it. She was a delight to watch in the interview with her uber cool attitude.

Neha came across as a typical Delhi girl with just the right attitude to handle such hypertensive judges. Her answers were quick, sharp and witty and she did not really give Raghu and Rajiv a chance to grill her. Raghu with all these years of experience in judging people found few conflicting traits of her personality. Neha had mentioned in her registration form that she dislikes bitchy people whereas according to Raghu, she herself enjoys bitching sessions.

Her interview was short and at times she was a little overconfident too. She claimed to have not been able to figure out any weakness in herself. When questioned, she smartly turned things in her favor by saying that she did not want to reveal her weakness to them. The way she changed her statement instantly was funny as the judges are known to fret and fume at such hypocritical ways. Surprisingly, they laughed off and let go of this thing.

She totally took the audience by surprise with her little mono acting which she did on being asked to entertain. For those few minutes, nobody realized that she was only acting. It seemed that she was using this audition platform to give Raghu and Rajiv a taste of their own medicine by accusing them of hurting and humiliating people. Even Raghu was taken aback by that little act as he never thought that this was her way of entertaining them. Rajiv, however, admitted that he knew from the beginning that she was only acting. He took an instant liking for the girl and wanted her to be a part of the show. Raghu was’nt too sure and quoted that she had ‘typical Delhi’ in her.

For the first time in the daunting and adventurous journey of Roadies, a Sikh has also been chosen. The proud Punjabi and now a representative of Sikh community in this show is a young and tall lad Pradeep.

The interview session was fairly smooth for him as he gave most of the answers which instantly pleased the judges. Raghu and Rajiv noticed that Pradeep had filled the form without any sincerity. Raghu mockingly said that he had treated the form like a ‘party’ where he could do anything. Pradeep admitted that he had filled the form in utmost hurry and  backed it up with a convincing statement that the true personality comes out in quick responses rather than well-thought and picture perfect answers.

Pradeep had mentioned in the form that he found girls fake. He explained that girls use sugar sweet words like ‘oh so cute’ countless number of times in a day. Pradeep had made another very strong comment in the form. The question was ‘What according to you makes you cool?’ and his answer was the fact that he is a Punjabi makes him cool. He further wrote that Punjabis are born cool. This gave judges a chance to put him down but here again he came out clean and unscathed with his impressive answer. He attributed his coolness to his parents and called them cool.

Finally the casting team of Roadies reached the capital city and many firsts were added to the credit of Roadies Production House. History was created when the auditions had to be cancelled. An absolute chaotic situation happened in the Delhi when people started coming to the venue a night before the auditions. This city definitely seems to be in the grip of Roadie Fever BIGTIME!

The venue was thronged with more than 6000 people and that was way beyond the capacity of that place. A mob like situation was created and some local miscreants took advantage of it to create vandalism. Many young guys joined in this act of hooliganism and destroyed the property. The situation became worse and the police had to take the matter in their hands to restore normalcy. They immediately lathi charged all the young boys and some even got beaten black and blue. This incident got massive coverage from news channels .Keeping in view this display of rampage and malicious destruction, producers called off the auditions.

But the show must go on and it did. The team found another way of finding Roadies from the city which has been an indispensable part of Roadie Journey in the last five seasons. For the first time, Roadies auditions went online and the organizers took up the tedious task of actually going through all the entries and shortlisted almost 100 people from the long list of applicants.

Sonia Chauhan is the fourth finalist from Chandigarh. Sonia is smart, sexy, sassy and seemingly has all that it takes to be a Roadie. She was the last person to be interviewed and as they say patience pays. Raghu and Rajiv were happy to have her around in the auditions.

Sonia kept up with the spirit of the show and dressed in extremely casual clothes. She looked athletic and adventurous in her simple T shirt and shorts flaunting her long and well shaped legs!! Sonia hails from the city of Himachal Pradesh and is currently studying in Chandigarh.

Sonia had just the qualities the brothers apparently seem to be on a look out for. She is bold and this can be reaffirmed from the fact that she is into a live in relationship and has been staying with her boyfriend from quite some time. She had absolutely no qualms or hesitation in talking about her live in relationship. She gave the impression that she is a girl of today.

On the contrary when Raghu asked her opinion on one night stand, she totally disregarded it as socially, morally and culturally incorrect. She tried to explain her point to the judges. Even when the twins tried to convince her that one night stand and live in relationship are both equally looked down upon in the society, she remained firm on her opinion. She appeared to be a nice confluence of conservatism and broad mindedness.

According to her, the biggest weakness that she is trying to overcome is her temper.

Her aggression can be gauged from the incident when she punched her boyfriend. Poor guy’s only fault was that he had invited her friend for dinner in her absence. She also told that she is very possessive about the people who care for her.

Here’s the third Roadie from the city of Chandigarh – Tamanna, a beautiful girl with absolutely no iota of intelligence. She is just plain pretty and that’s the only reason she is in the show. Undoubtedly, TRP matters even in this youth-centric reality show. Did the producers forget that this show is all about adventure and not about hot black dress and manicured nails!

Tamanna, a student of Dental surgery was a complete bimbo in the show. She doesn’t like reading newspapers and gave those surprised looks as if that’s the last thing she would do in life. She took almost 15 minutes to tell something about herself and even after all this time she could only come up with something as silly as ‘Mera naam Tamanna hai’ which she nicely repeated twice. She is one Roadie who knew nothing about herself as on further probing also she talked about things like she likes dogs and other forgettable things, which are so unlike a Roadie talk.

For all the boys who went head over heels in love with her, this girl has as experience of three timing and calls herself bold. Her fake accent which was a bad combination of Punjabi and English was put on and an instant put off for me. The brothers noticed it and commented that the way she rolled her tongue to get that extremely displeasing accent was her way of copying things she liked. The way Raghu and Rajiv imitated her put on accent was absolutely funny. For the fake attitude she tried to throw, she had to bear the wrath of the brothers who came heavily on her. She was even compared to a Rickshaw driver and that illiterate man’s accent was called better than hers.

A high school dropout, a self confessed complete failure, doors have always been slammed at his face, success has evaded him in all those twenty something years of existence and yet there is one thing which now sets him apart from the rest – HE IS A ROADIE. Let’s introduce the next Chandigarh Roadie, Ankur Khanduja.

Ankur Khanduja with weird freaky hair and free size clothes struck a chord with the twin tormentors with his dire honesty. He bared it all about his failures in life and that he had been a complete disappointment for his parents. The recital of his sad past coupled with betrayal from his friends got a tad too long.

Ankur admitted in the interview that he was tensed. In true Indian middle class family style his mother had asked him not to lose this opportunity as if this was the last hope in his life. It seemed that he was going through immense pressure and unlike others who only worry about facing the judges; he had an additional pressure of facing his distraught family. He created an impression that his parents had almost given up on him. The judges were moved and rightly pointed at the mental trauma young children go through because of constant nagging from parents. Rajiv even wanted to reach out to this guy and tell him that he is not a loser and life has just begun for him.

Just when we were about to write off Roadies 6.0 for all the strange and undeserving people getting the privilege to be a part of this adventure show, comes this whiff of fresh air with the name Natasha Sinha.

Beautiful, strong, confident and feisty, that’s Natasha Sinha in a few words. She bowled over Raghu and Rajiv totally with her headstrong attitude and strong opinions. The twins took no time in acknowledging that finally they have found someone who has the true Roadie spirit. She exhibited the mental and physical strength needed to overcome the hardships faced in the back to back travails of daunting adventures and vote out conspiracies.

Here’s a peek into the background of this girl who appears to have the deadly combination of beauty and strength. Natasha is a BPO employee and has just finished her final year of college. At this Raghu even criticized the BPO jobs and culture, but she defended it well with right spirits and attitude, that was a good show of her confidence and convincing skills. The wildest thing she had done is running out of restaurant without paying bills! First time that happened when she forgot her wallet and had no money with her, but later they started doing it for the thrill of it, can u believe this!

She is a self confessed tomboy who shares a different comfort zone with boys and dislikes girls who babble day in and day out. She says guys are really good friends to her and do share all their stuff with her because of her friendly nature. We will have to watch out the chemistry our chatter box Gurmeet aka Palak will have with this gal !

According to her, she is a fine example of transformation from a plain Jane with well oiled plaits to an attractive girl and how she marvels at all the attention she gets. She really looks attractive and beautiful. Her multiple piercings in the ear lobe cannot go unnoticed. She has pierced nose too, that looks sexy! And you know why she wants to be a Roadie? Because She wants to get Noticed,this is like a beautiful simple reason she gave which I think might have helped her. Raghu rightly pointed out that she craves for attention to which she readily agreed.

This week the Roadies Production team continued its look out for potential Roadies in the city of Chandigarh [Images]. The city which has a track record of giving this game show a nice North Indian flavor with beautiful girls and boys with 6- pack abs. Chandigarh has always delivered in terms of good Roadies with a go-getter spirit and muscular strength to back it up. This year was no different and the team went home happy with 4 Roadies.

The enthusiasm shown by Chandigarh audience was over whelming. There was huge turnout of around 6000 people. Ayushmaan, a Punjabi and a former Roadie hosted the show very well. He could relate very well to the pulse of the audience there, thanks to his Punjabi lineage.

Raghu and Rajeev looked all charged up to make the contestants go through hell in the interview room to test their mental toughness. They didn’t want to settle for anything second best from this city. The topics chosen for group discussion were wild and whacky like ‘Should contraceptive machine be installed in college campus’.

All those people who have been chasing the dream of being a Roadie should start a new hunt. This hunt should be of your look alike and if you already have one in the form of your twin, guess what, you could become a Roadie. If the Bengaluru auditions are anything to go by, the surest , shortest and the easiest way to become a Roadie is to have a twin.

Nauman and Salman were the twin brothers who met another set of twins with the only difference that they were the judges. This face to face interaction between two set of twins helped to arouse interest in Bengaluru auditions but sadly, the interest could not be sustained for too long.

Salman and Nauman, other than looking alike shared common interests. Salman was the self proclaimed outright achiever who had never tasted failure. He filled in his form that he is better than the best and is ‘born to win’. Even judges raised a difficult question that only one of the two would be selected, both of them agreed in unison that Salman is the deserving one but as they say over-confidence kills and it happened. No points for guessing that this super cool brother was rejected while the not far behind brother got selected. Yes, they selected Nauman.

Gurmeet Kaur who likes calling herself Palak is the new entrant in Roadies 6.0. She is one of two Roadies selected from the big city of Bengaluru which in itself a big achievement. Now whether she deserves to be a Roadie is a question only Raghu and Rajiv can answer as the benchmark for being a Roadie seems to have changed.

Raghu and Rajiv have constantly faced accusation that they completely supersede all the interaction which happens in the interview room to prove the poor guy being interviewed wrong.. For the first time the brothers who are infamous for not letting the aspirants speak their mind were made quiet by this girl. Gurmeet started talking the moment she went inside the room and her blabbering did not stop till she was asked to leave. For a change, the tormentors were at the receiving end and it was fun to watch them bear that non-stop chatter.
