Roadies 6 - Roop Bhinder Goes From Patiala To Australia

Here’s another fairy tale story of a small town girl’s claim to fame. One desire changed her life and rest as they say is history. Roop Bhinder, till recently was a normal college going girl with limited exposure miles away from big bad city and now she is a ROADIE!! Life, indeed, is a bundle of surprises.

Success didn’t come easy to her; let’s clarify before all the sadists start blaming their luck. Roop earned it by first having the courage to dream about being a roadie putting behind all her small-town reservations and using all the resources at her quick disposal. She used Roadies battleground, an online game to make it to the real show. From screaming in the library, applying cow dung on her face, acting like a joker and asking people to kiss her, she has done it all. She was the first runner up in the Roadies Battleground. Aniket, who was nicely shown the door in Bengaluru audition was the winner.

Roop, true to her name is a pretty girl with a dazzling smile as Raghu complimented when she entered the interview room. She was calm and composed in the interview and the twin brothers were also surprisingly too sweet to be true in her case. I strongly think, girls win half the battle in the auditions with their good looks!!

Roop came across as a simple grounded girl with her values well in place. She stated clearly that she could go to any extent to win the show as long as her morals do not go for a toss. She completely refused to hook up with any guy in the show as a survival tactic. However, she had no issues with some white lies to save herself from elimination. Judges disagreed with her queer definitions of moral and immoral things in life. Raghu and Rajiv agreed that Roop would certainly fight another battle in the show apart from all the conspiracies and mind games and it would be a Moral Battle. There is a very thin and confusing line she has herself drawn between good and bad. They can already foresee the situations in which she will face this moral dilemma.

The judges expressed some doubts about her ability to adjust with all the city boys and girls who as they suggested have more exposure. Roop smartly handled the question by citing the example of Ashutosh Kaushik. He hailed from a small town, Sahranpur and went on to win the show. After this prompt reply, judges were at a loss of words (strange..eh!!)

Will the crazy things that Roop did in the online battleground be enough to put her in good stead in the reality show? Only time will tell.
