Roadies XX's Yogesh Sharma Calls Rhea Chakraborty His ‘Favourite Gang' Leader
Last Updated:
Kushal Tanwar, fondly known as Gullu, secured a direct spot in the finale by winning the crucial "Ticket to Finale" challenge
Reality television favourite Roadies XX continues to grip viewers with its intense drama, surprise twists and powerful personal journeys. As the show races towards its much-anticipated grand finale, emotions are running high among contestants and fans alike. In a recent episode, Kushal Tanwar, fondly known as Gullu, secured a direct spot in the finale by winning the crucial 'Ticket to Finale" challenge. Meanwhile, the journey came to an emotional end for Yogesh Sharma and Jimmy, who were eliminated in a decision they called 'very unfair."
In an interview with The Times of India, both evicted contestants opened up about their journey on Roadies XX, from building bonds with fellow participants and gang leaders to coping with the emotional highs and lows of the competition. Yogesh, in particular, spoke candidly about his unexpected elimination, pointing to the role of his gang leader, Rhea Chakraborty, as a pivotal factor in the outcome. 'Even though I wasn't very happy with Rhea ma'am's decision to send me and Jimmy home, she will still remain my favourite gang leader," he said. Yogesh recalled his earlier Roadies attempt, where things didn't go his way. 'Last season, Prince sir chose me, but I still couldn't go on the journey. But this time, I was a part of the journey because of Rhea ma'am, and hence she will remain my favourite gang leader."
He also reflected on the moment he was evicted and expressed a deep sense of disappointment. 'When Rhea ma'am chose to evict me Jimmy, to save Rohit, I was very sad. I felt like why didn't she have faith in me and had to remove me from the game. It was a very sad moment for me and my close ones. I've a lot of respect for Rhea ma'am, but what happened with me was extremely unfair," Yogesh remarked. He went on to describe how his family reacted to watching his elimination. 'When my mom and dad watched the episode, they were very sad. However, in the previous season, Prince sir didn't choose me in the last round, and this time it was Rhea ma'am who took me on the journey, and I'm very grateful for that."
Jimmy, who was also shown the door in the same episode, got emotional as he discussed the circumstances of his departure. Unlike his first elimination, which he described as deeply painful, this time his exit was an act of selflessness. 'The first time that I got evicted was really very sad for me, and I really wanted to go forward in the show. However, this time was different, as I sacrificed my journey with my own choice for Rohit," he explained. Jimmy also touched upon an emotional moment involving Rhea. 'I saw Rhea ma'am crying, and that was really tough to watch. I've no regrets, as I did what felt right in my heart."
As Roadies XX inches closer to its explosive finale, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the remaining contestants fare in the last leg of the competition. With Gullu from Elvish's gang (formerly Gautam's gang) securing his place in the finale, the stage is set for more fierce battles, emotional highs, and perhaps a few more surprises before the winner is finally crowned.

She explained that her intent was to highlight a woman's right to make her own choices — something she believes is the essence of true freedom. The comment, made in response to a contestant's situation involving a woman with multiple boyfriends, was widely misinterpreted as justifying infidelity, but Neha insists it was about supporting autonomy, not actions.

Bollywood actor Neha Dhupia spoke about how her early choices in the film industry led to her being boxed. During a conversation with Abhay Deol and comedian Sumukhi on The Durex Podcast, Neha recalled gaining 25 kg after pregnancy and being trolled — but her husband, actor Angad Bedi, made her feel beautiful and comfortable in her own skin. (Also Read: Shows like 'Adolescence' make us reassess, recalibrate as parents: Neha Dhupia) Neha spoke about being trolled for her 'It's her choice' comment on Roadies and how she was typecast in Bollywood. She said, 'Without social media also I was also kind of judged for those kind of films I did early in my career, even when I did only one or two of them. I had to change paths, and that hard part was to make people believe in me. Just because I did a movie like Julie back in the day, doesn't mean I can't do a mainstream comedy film. I felt like I was walking on eggshells later. It's been eight years since the 'It's her choice' thing happened, and even now, if I go wrong anywhere, trolls flood the comments with the same thing. Nobody understood the context of what I was trying to say.' She explained that the context she was trying to set was that a woman is allowed to have choices, which is the ultimate freedom. She said this in reference to her comment made to one of the contestants on MTV Roadies, where she was perceived to be justifying a woman having five boyfriends. She said that, in her 40s, she has started prioritising herself and becoming more comfortable in her own skin. She recalled how Angad made her feel supported when she gained weight after pregnancy. 'As an actor, when I gave birth, I gained 25 kgs, but my husband made me feel beautiful. He would compliment me all the time. In my head, I used to think that I'm jobless right now, whenever I step out, I get trolled, and my clothes don't fit me. I came from a background of beauty pageants, and these things used to matter to me, I am not going to lie. But now, finally in my 40s, I feel like those things did not matter, and I feel the best version of myself. Today I feel my sexiest.' Angad and Neha tied the knot in a gurudwara in a hush-hush wedding that surprised many. The couple welcomed their first child, Mehr Dhupia Bedi, in November 2018, and their second, Guriq Singh Dhupia Bedi, in 2021. Meanwhile, Neha is currently part of Roadies XX as a gang leader, alongside Prince Narula, Elvish Yadav, Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati. Hosted by Rannvijay Singha, the show is set to conclude on June 1.

‘I was jobless, my clothes didn't fit me and I was getting trolled': Neha Dhupia shares how husband Angad Bedi supported her through tough times
Neha Dhupia has dabbled in various mediums in her decades-long career in the entertainment industry. But a lot of backlash and criticism has followed her everywhere; first, it was for her choice of films, and then, it was for her appearance. During an episode of the Durex podcast hosted by Abhay Deol, Dhupia appeared alongside comedian Sumukhi Suresh and talked about the several challenges that come with fame, and how she dealt with constantly being in the public eye. While talking to Sumuki about trolling, Abhay Deol asked Neha about her experience with online hate. She talked about being put in a box in Bollywood, and how she has been misunderstood by the audience. 'I had to convince people to accept me because I got judged for the roles I did in my early days in the industry. It's been eight years since the 'It's her choice' thing happened and even now, if I go wrong anywhere, people flood the comments with the same thing. Nobody understood the context of what I was trying to say.' She was making a reference to a comment that she made on the show MTV Roadies, where she was perceived to be justifying a woman's adultery. ALSO READ: Kabir Bedi on open marriage with first wife Protima, growing close to Parveen Babi: 'Somebody has an affair, then someone else has an affair' She talked about struggling with her own body image after having a child, and how her husband, Angad Bedi, was a pillar of support for her through this phase of self-doubt. 'Whatever I am learning or unlearning now is because I have started prioritising myself and being comfortable in my skin. Even when I put on a lot of weight after having a child, my husband made me feel comfortable in my own skin. He would compliment me all the time,' she said. She added that Angad's support for her, though expected, was almost bizarre to her because she herself didn't feel confident in what she was doing and how she looked. She added, 'In my head I used to think that I'm jobless right now, whenever I step out I get trolled, and my clothes don't fit me. I came from a background of beauty pageants, and these things used to matter to me, I am not going to lie. But now, finally in my 40s, I feel like those things did not matter, and I feel the best version of myself,' she said. Neha, who is continuing her run as a judge on Roadies, married Angad in 2018, and the couple have two children. Angad, who is also an actor, is the son of famous Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi. He has worked in films like Pink (2016), Soorma (2018) and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020).
