Who is Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu? Check Elvish Yadav connection for the winner of MTV Roadies Double Cross
Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, once returned to Roadies Double Cross as a wild card entry, but his journey from there on has been packed with winning action, leading him to emerge as the winner of the show.
As soon as Gullu returned to the show, he was embroiled in a controversy.
A part of Elvish Yadav's gang, Gullu was eliminated. He returned to the show as a wildcard in Gautam Gulati's gang. However, when given a choice to double-cross his gang leader after winning the ticket to the finale, he went back to Elvish's gang, leaving Gautam.
Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu or Gullu Boxer, is a content creator from Gurugram, Haryana. According to Stars Unfolded, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel Management from the Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology (IHMCT), Pune, in 2022.
Coming from a modest background, Kushal explored several ventures—including co-founding a café—but none gained significant traction. Eventually, he turned to content creation, where his raw humour and relatability began to resonate with audiences online.
In 2019, he had also walked into the MTV Roadies audition as a fake sheikh. But at that time, he was nervous and underconfident. He transformed his personality and returned to the show as a whole new individual in 2025 and ended up winning the show.
In a winning statement, Kushal Tanwar said he went through the Roadies journey 'all alone,' with no guiding hand or one to lift him.
'Winning MTV Roadies Double Cross wasn't just a title, it was a silent scream finally heard. There was no support, no guiding hand, no one to lift me when I was down. I went through it all alone,' he said.
He said winning Roadies is more than just a trophy for him. 'It's a symbol for every person who's ever felt alone, who's ever been told they're not enough. I walked this path by myself, but I never gave up. And that's what this victory is: not fame, not glory -- but proof that even when you have nothing, you can still become everything.'
His gang leader, Elvish Yadav, was also all praises for Tanwar, and said, 'From Day 1, I saw fire in Gullu. He didn't just win tasks, he won hearts. His journey defines.'

Yuvika Chaudhary REACTS to Prince Narula's link up rumours with Nora Fatehi during Bigg Boss 9: 'When you're young, working, and single...'
Yuvika Chaudhary addressed rumors linking Prince Narula to Nora Fatehi during Bigg Boss 9, emphasizing the difference between on-screen perceptions and real-life understanding. She values Prince's emotional honesty and acknowledges his past experiences, believing it fosters a stronger, more relaxed relationship. Yuvika appreciates that Prince has lived fully, ensuring no future regrets, and cherishes their friendship-turned-marriage built on open communication. Yuvika Chaudhary opened up about the swirling rumours linking her husband, Prince Narula, to actress Nora Fatehi during their Bigg Boss 9 days. In a candid conversation, she reflected on how perceptions can often be misleading and shares her honest take on love, trust, and understanding beyond the camera's lens. When asked about handling the rumours before marrying the Roadies actor, Yuvika told Bollywood Bubble that people often only see what someone chooses to show on screen. However, meeting the person in real life reveals a much deeper and better side. She acknowledged that nobody is perfect, and true understanding comes from personal experiences, which can never be fully captured on screen. She compared it to friendship—only by spending time with someone do you truly get to know them. She mentioned that in today's world, people often judge others without really knowing them. However, she chose not to judge Prince and instead saw him as a hardworking person who is open with his emotions—whether it's anger or love, he expresses it fully. While this can lead to challenges, she accepted it as part of his true personality and felt she understood the kind of person he really is. Yuvika further shared that initially, she felt the need to appear a certain way on screen, dealing with rumors and link-ups. But over time, she realized that when you're young, working, and single, it's your own life to live. It's only when you're with someone that you truly see their loyalty and real character. She wanted a partner who had experienced life fully, so there would be no regrets later. She believes that when people feel restricted, they crave freedom even more. So, she wants her partner to have the freedom to explore and grow, feeling relaxed in personal life. She knows he has traveled a lot and lived fully, and she's aware of his journey. She also joked that they started out as friends, sharing open conversations where she even teased him about his girlfriends. That connection grew naturally, and neither of them expected it would lead to marriage. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
