Roadies 6 – Mumbai Auditions
Roadies Production Team finally reached the place they started their journey from after travelling across the country in search for Roadies. Yes, they reached the city that never sleeps – Mumbai. With 18 Roadies already selected out of the needed 20, Mumbai contestants had things tougher with slimmer chances of getting selected.
After all the hooliganism the production team witnessed in Delhi Auditions, they wanted to play it safe. Auditions in Mumbai were cancelled and once again they chose the online route to shortlist the prospective Roadies.
Easier said than done!! The team had to literally skim through 25000 odd entries to narrow down the list to hundred contestants. All these people went through a group discussion round and only 12 people got a chance to have a face to face conversation with Raghu and Rajiv, the infamous twin tormentors. Finally, just 2 people became the coveted Roadies. If you aren’t already boggled by all these numbers, let us take this opportunity to state another fact. Cracking roadies’ auditions is perhaps tougher than cracking the engineering or management entrance exams!!
Raghu and Rajiv had sky-high expectations from Mumbaikars who are daring, glamorous, smart and interesting. The city did not disappoint and the auditions were high on both drama and entertainment quotient. Mumbai auditions undoubtedly scored over the other cities.
Sufi Malhotra was interviewed twice (read the next article to know all the details of his melodramatic interview and Phoenix-like rise from ashes).
Sunny Thakur who was just not funny and was declared a ‘gay’ because of his nicely waxed body. The king of all was Ashish, the guy who had relentlessly prepared for two long years to become a Roadie. Will someone please tell him that all preparation fails in such a show? Here you get selected for who you are and not for portraying someone whom you want yourself to be. Bani, nicely put it, that he will now have to prepare for one more year to be a Roadie!! Multilingual Suzzanna Mukherjee was an instant hit with the judges.
Suzzanna and Sufi were clear winners in today’s auditions and this completes the mammoth size task of finding the Roadies.
