After Samrat Kaushal and Devarshi Patel, the next on the list of new Roadies is Bhanu Pratap. Names can be definitely misleading. The finest example to prove this statement right is our next Roadie from Ahmedabad – Bhanu Pratap. When such a name is heard for the first time, the obvious reaction is that he must be a tall, strong built, short tempered guy with a complete no-nonsense attitude.
On the contrary, our Bhanu Pratap is a very short guy, about 5feet 5 inches, using his hair almost three inches long to add to his height. He has piercing on his chin and bothe ears. He is a cool and chilled out average youth with stooping shoulders. The way he sat for the interview showed his laid back attitude towards life as he was completely at ease with legs spread out. A rare sight when the person is already intimidated by the mere presence of twin tormentors- Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman.
Raghu gave him a new hair-do as he wanted to see how short he actually is. Raghu said “Tu Thinga hai na!” (you are dwarf no!). The hair stylist was immediately called in and effect was phenomenal. Bhanu Pratap was asked some very uncomfortable questions which he answered without showing any signs of embarrassment. He told the judges that one of the weirdest things he has done is to go to the Petrol Pump in his boxers only. The brothers went a step ahead and asked him to strip to his boxers there and then to authenticate his claim. In no time, we saw this short and lanky guy in polka dot boxers. Bhanu didn’t immediately become camera shy sitting like that and laughed off when the brothers made him the butt of all jokes.
