Let’s have a look at some emotionally and physically powerful youngsters!

Roadies or should I say MTV Roadies is an Indian youth reality show. It was released in 2003 but gained its popularity after the third season as it inspired many teenage-aged people to participate in it.

The show airs on MTV India and is available to watch anytime on Voot.

MTV Roadies is one of India’s longest-running reality show as it has been in running for 17 years.

In the show, the contestants are given tasks and the one to complete it sooner than the others wins the round. The game can change anytime as it has so many twists.

One contestant that performs poorly is eliminated at the end of every week and the one who survives till the end is the Roadies winner.

The contestants have to travel to different locations for different tasks.

MTV Roadies was founded by Raghu Ram, RJ Amit, and Rajiv Lakshman in 2003. But they gave up the show in 2014 as they had done enough for this show and they wanted to give this opportunity to their young generation now.

Most youngsters participate in a reality show with the aim to be recognized by the media and to create a buzz among people so that this can help them in creating an identity in the film industry.

It really makes sense because reality shows play a very important part in a person’s image if he or she is willing to enter the television or film industry.

Roadies have 18 seasons yet. The production house has declared that there will be a season 19 soon.

The dates and the contestants of the 19th season have not been confirmed yet.

MTV Roadies has gained a large popularity among the people, that is why it has been still in the market.

The tasks are given in the show test a contestant’s mental, social and physical strength.

So, that concluded the list of all Roadies winners to date. Hope these people inspired you and somewhere down the line made you realize that dreams can be achieved if we don't give up on them.

The best person, according to me, to take inspiration from these winners is Ayushmann Khurrana. The success he achieved after all this time is the result of his dedication.
