Who is Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu? Check Elvish Yadav connection for the winner of MTV Roadies Double Cross
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.'

Prince Narula's Birthday Wish For His 'Semi-Best Wife' Yuvika Chaudhary Is All Things Love
Prince Narula shuts divorce rumours with a sweet birthday wish for Yuvika, calling her his "semi-best wife." The couple recently welcomed their baby girl, Ekleen. Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary are one of the most loved couples in the TV industry. When divorce rumours about the two circulated, their fans were left worried, but time and again, Yuvika has openly rubbished this chatter. Now, Prince has also shut down these rumours by sharing a cute birthday wish for his 'semi-best wife' Yuvika. Prince took to his Instagram and shared a sweet video of Yuvika and a cake that will leave you craving. While sharing the clip, he attached a heartfelt wish and wrote, 'Happy birthday to my love. I love you soooo muchhhhh. You are the best mommy, semi-best wifeeee 😂😂😂😂😂 I'll pray to God that you always stay happy and smiling. Love you, my baby. Happyyyyyyy birthdayyyyyyyyy." Meanwhile, during a chat with Hindi Rush, Yuvika reacted to the rumours about trouble in their paradise and talked about how Prince supported her during that time. She said, 'He was a great support. Of course, life was busy, but as a couple, we needed to show understanding. There were misunderstandings because that phase naturally came with some confusion. But I knew it was just a phase and why it was happening. Pregnancy brings emotional ups and downs, mood swings—sometimes you're happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes you want your partner right beside you. He did whatever he could to be there for me. Looking at it from both perspectives helps. These phases come and go, but at the end of the day, what matters most is that a child is on the way." 'Prince is a bit emotional; hearing things from people affected him. So I tried to talk to him through it. There was also a huge distance between us back then because he stayed at one place while I was at another. But that phase passed," Yuvika concluded. Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary first met on Bigg Boss Season 9 and tied the knot on October 12, 2018. Six years later, in June 2024, they shared the happy news of Yuvika's pregnancy and welcomed their baby girl, Ekleen, in October. On the work front, Prince Narula was most recently seen on Roadies Double Cross as one of the five gang leaders. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Rhea Chakraborty Gets Annoyed With Paparazzi At Mumbai Airport, Says ‘Ab Mere Peeche Mat Aao'
Rhea Chakraborty was seen getting irritated with paparazzi at Mumbai airport, asking them not to follow her after giving solo pictures. Rhea Chakraborty, once again, became the center of attention as she was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Thursday. However, what caught the public's eye this time wasn't her airport fashion or a film announcement—it was her visibly annoyed reaction to the paparazzi following her to the parking lot. In a video circulating online, the Chehre actress is seen walking briskly toward her car when she turns to the shutterbugs and says, 'Ab mere peeche mat aao. Maine solo de diye, bye!" (Don't follow me. I've already given solo pictures, bye!). Her tone, though assertive, came off as irritable to many viewers, sparking debate across social media platforms. While some defended her need for space, others criticized her demeanor. 'Bhailog, tumlog ka itna din kharab ho gaya ki ise bhi bhaw dete ho," wrote one netizen, taking a dig at both the paps and Rhea's perceived attitude. Another Instagram user remarked, 'Har jagah muh uthake chale jaate hain aap log," targeting the media for being intrusive. One user bluntly said, 'Attitude nahi, dimaag kharab," adding to the wave of mixed reactions. The incident comes at a time when Rhea is once again in the legal spotlight. A Mumbai court recently issued a notice to her in connection with the 2020 complaint she had filed against late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's sisters—Priyanka Singh and Meetu Singh—and Dr. Tarun Nathu Ram. In her complaint, Rhea alleged that they facilitated the procurement of medication for Sushant without valid medical supervision. However, the CBI's closure report found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Rhea has now been directed to submit her response by August 12, 2025. On the professional front, Rhea has stayed away from films since Chehre. However, she made a television comeback as a gang leader in two seasons of MTV Roadies, earning praise for her strong persona. Still, moments like Thursday's show that public opinion about Rhea remains sharply divided, reflecting the complex legacy she continues to navigate in the aftermath of controversy. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 18:29 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
