, journey on the show, and much more.
Elvish has always been quite open about his admiration for Alia Bhatt. Talking exclusively to TOI TV, he said, 'I've been openly crushing on Alia Bhatt. I really like her.'
He then spoke about his journey and mentioned, 'My journey as a gang leader on Roadies XX was amazing. Initially, I didn't know what to do or how to play, but my fellow gang leaders helped me, and I learnt a lot from them.
I came on the show only for the love of the audience and didn't expect to win. However, now that I've won, it feels amazing.'
Talking about Gullu winning the show, he said, 'Gullu didn't get many chances on the show. He was evicted when he first came and later made a wildcard entry. However, he did very well whenever he got a chance, and according to me, he's a very deserving winner. If Yogesh from my gang had won, I'd be equally happy.'
He further addressed his controversy with Prince and said, 'Prince is my least favourite gang leader out of everyone, as we are not on talking terms anymore. Whatever controversy has happened, I'm not at all a part of it. I'm done with fighting and then putting up a story while resolving everything. You won't see any stories from my end now. I want to live a peaceful life without any drama, and Prince can do whatever he wants.
