Roadies Real Heroes reach the last leg of auditions in Pune

Pune, January 21, 2019: Bigger, Better and Bolder – the 16th season of India’s longest running
adventurous reality show is back with a bang on MTV. With a new theme and gang leader, Roadies Real
Heroes promises to awaken the hero within through real-life stories of courage, honor and bravery. For
the last 15 years, no other show has connected with the youth as strongly as Roadies by simply
innovating and challenging the limits of action and adventure. The show, known for its unique formats and
fascinating tasks every season, has the most loyal and aspiring fans who dare to do more.
Legendary sportsman and real-life warrior, Sandeep Singh joins the league for the first-time locking horns
with small screen’s favorite star Prince Narula who is determined to win. Raaftar whose music echoes
amongst the youth is prepped up for his second stint along with seasoned expert Nikhil Chinappa who is
here to spruce up the fight. Gorgeous, poised and two times winner Neha Dhupia is back to clinch her
third title. Being the only boss lady in this man’s world, she will surely have all eyes on her gang. And to
top it all is Ringmaster Rannvijay Singh who will stir up the game like never before. In the recently held
Pune auditions, the mentors turned heads as they grilled contestants to become a part of the most
remarkable ride ever.

Legendary sportsman and former Indian Hockey Captain Sandeep Singh who joins the show for
the first time ever expressed – “This is my first association with the show and the concept of finding real
life heroes propelled me. All of us have the potential to rise beyond the ordinary and make a difference
and that’s what I believe. It’s going to be a new experience and I am eager to explore something I haven’t
done before.”

Rannvijay Singh, the self-made man and who has been associated with the show for the longest
said “From being a contestant and winner to a host to a winning gang leader and a host again, Roadies
has come a full circle for me. Yet every season throws up a new challenge and intrigues me more. This
time, I am hoping to meet some dynamic contestants who have the ability to tackle what comes their way
and surge ahead."

Neha Dhupia, whose gang member clinched the title last season said, "It's already the fourth year as
a gang leader and my excitement only increases with every season! So much has changed for the better
in these years, both personally and professionally for me. Roadies Real Heroes is an adventurous

getaway for me every year where I meet new people, go through a journey of courage and strength with
them and end up making friends too. This season is much bigger, better and I can't wait for the auditions
to begin!"

King of reality shows, Prince Narula said “Roadies is very close to my heart. This show brings out the
best in me in terms of physical and mental strength. Season on season, the show is evolving which
makes me look forward to newer challenges with my gang and emerging stronger than before. Let’s see
what the city has instore for us.”

Roadies’ seasoned judge Nikhil Chinappa said “It’s an incredible achievement to see that Roadies has
been able to consistently connect with audiences and entertain fans for 16 long seasons. As the theme
suggests, Roadies Real Heroes promises a grittier and more riveting season this time. From the
contestants and their clashes to the challenges they encounter, the idea is to level up the contest and see
who crosses the line first.”

Raaftar who comes back for the second time said “In the new season, I will also have newer plans
and surprises up my sleeve to turn things around. Being my second stint, I am much more aware and
prepped up of what lies ahead, and I am ready to take on the game with a new gang.”
Roadies Real Heroes auditions kick-started earlier this month in Delhi and moved on to Chandigarh and
Indore before wrapping up the same in Pune.
