Roadies 6 - Kiri Timung is now a Roadie

Kiri Timung went to all the audition venues last time. He could not crack the Group discussion even once. He did not give up and tried once again. Lady luck smiled on him this time and guess what, he not only cleared the Group discussion but also became a Roadie, all in one go. It looks like a story straight out of some motivational self-help book. That’s the story of our Roadie- Kiri Timung.

Kiri Timung relentlessly pursued the desire to become a ROADIE and the result is here to see. The judges were immediately impressed with his grit and genuineness. He was a constant fixture in all the auditions last season that Raghu, having recognized this familiar face, asked him to moderate the Group Discussion.

The audition of Kiri Timung was minus the slangs and humiliation which comes as a part of package deal when you go in front of the twin terror- Raghu and Rajiv. They asked him the reason for chasing a dream like this at the age of 25 when the priorities are totally different in life. He gave a dumb answer that he wanted a bike and the judges were to some extent moved by his simple aspirations.

Kiri mentioned that he had started growing his hair long so that he could use them to his advantage in some task. He took this inspiration from the previous season where a girl did the same. This answer completely stumped the judges and to make things interesting they gave him a task. Kiri was asked to lift a suitcase using his hair which was tied to the handle. He did that effortlessly and the judges challenged him to pick a heavier suitcase. This time too, he did not disappoint.

Another thing that sets him apart from all the other Roadies is that he confessed about his foolishness openly in the interview. Most of the contestants would never do such a thing. The judges noticed this weakness which he had mentioned in the form and the obvious question sprang up that why should he still be selected after knowing his dumbness. Kiri gave a very smart answer that, all the other Roadies would be too manipulative and there was certainly room for a not-so-smart Roadie to add to the diversity of group. The judges finally bought his argument. So, here we welcome a self proclaimed dumb Roadie in the show. Sometimes, dumbness sells!
