Roadies 6 - Delhi Auditions: When hell broke lose

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.

The team again step foot in the city which gave them a wild welcome a few weeks back!! This time the venue was Hotel Vikram and things went on peacefully. Raghu spotted a guy who had earlier admitted that he had thrown stones last time. He singled him out from one of the GD rooms and dragged him out to give him a piece of his mind.

About 20 people were selected for a personal interview session. The auditions this time were more interesting and true to the Delhi spirit. Raghu and Rajiv were not as hypertensive and caustic as they initially had plans to be after the bitterness over the havoc created in Delhi. Another firsts (the count has reached three now!!) is that finally a Sardar (Sikh) guy got a chance to be Roadie.  The casting team managed to find five Roadies from the capital which is a big number giving Delhi a reason to take pride in its youth after that shameful event. The selected Roadies are:

Pradeep  - Proud Punjabi
Neha Kapoor – The flight again takes off
Bobby Chaddha – Life is good
Sandeep –Baby face sweety pie
Roop – Name says it all
