Roadies Revolution live auditions: An impressive pool of talent in the first-ever virtual auditions; first week winners announced

In its 17th season, India’s longest-running adventure reality show has created history with the first-ever
LIVE auditions on social media. Within a week of the virtual launch, Roadies LIVE auditions with host
Rannvijay Singha and the celebrity leaders Neha Dhupia, Nikhil Chinapa, Raftaar and Prince Narula
became widely popular amongst the audience.

The LIVE auditions have seen a plethora of talented contestants trying to prove their worth for the
upcoming Roadies journey this year. On the first LIVE on April 27, Rannvijay kick-started the virtual
audition process and introduced everyone to the innovative format.
The week saw an entertaining contestant, Rishabh who pranked his mother as part of a task assigned to
him by Prince and Nikhil. A 19-year old brave heart Priya is challenging the stereotypes faced by women
in the society. True to his name, Rhythm won the hearts of Neha and Raftaar through his fun rap and
impressed them with his magic tricks. Keval got everyone emotional with the story of his beat-boxing.
Sandeep instilled the spirit of positivity, healthy living in his audition.
On Thursday’s LIVE, Nikhil Chinapa and Neha Dhupia met Rakesh, who hails from South India and
belongs to the LGBTQ community. A confident, courageous young individual, Rakesh spoke about his
struggles and left a mark through his extraordinary performance.
In this roller coaster, our celebrity leaders didn’t miss a chance of having their own share of fun. From
pranking the contestants to dancing with them and playing Bollywood item song quiz, the leaders did it
all.

Roadies fame Shruti Sinha and Arun Sharma were the surprise elements, who made sure to test the
contestants’ skills in their own fun way. The leaders also advocated the importance of staying at home in
the current situation and the need to help each other, especially the unprivileged section of the society.
On Saturday, the winners of the first week of Roadies LIVE auditions were announced by Rannvijay along
with some highlights worth the watch, from the auditions on the channel. After a cut-throat competition
amongst 20 contestants, 8 were shortlisted for the culling round. Delhi boys Sandeep and Rhythm
emerged winners and have secured their chance of going for the Roadies Journey. Both of them stood
out of the crowd for their calibre and impressed the celebrity leaders as well as Rannvijay during the
rounds.
