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.'

In a finale that blended raw emotion with nerve-wracking intensity, Kushal Tanwar — fondly known as Gullu — emerged as the winner of MTV Roadies XX : Double Cross . Representing YouTuber Elvish Yadav 's gang, the underdog contestant walked away with ₹10 lakh in prize money and a Hero Kaizma bike, scripting a remarkable story of resilience and grit. Kushal made his first mark during the auditions, impressing a panel that included Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty, and Gautam Gulati. Though he started off as a strong contender, his journey took an unexpected turn when he was evicted by his own gang. Yet, like every great comeback story, Gullu returned — this time as a wildcard — and made his presence felt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MTV Roadies (@mtvroadies) A Calculated Gamble That Paid Off Initially absorbed into Gautam Gulati's team post-eviction, Kushal stunned everyone by switching back to Elvish Yadav's gang after securing a ticket to the finale. The bold move became the turning point in his Roadies journey , setting the stage for one of the show's most emotionally charged victories. 'This win is more than just a title,' Gullu said after the finale. 'It's a silent scream finally heard. There was no one to support me, no guiding hand. I went through it all alone. But I never gave up.' His words resonated with viewers across the country, who saw in him a reflection of every person fighting to be seen, to be valued. This was Elvish Yadav's debut season as a gang leader on Roadies , and winning it with Gullu by his side added a feather to his cap. 'From Day 1, I saw fire in him,' Elvish said. 'He didn't just win tasks, he won hearts. His journey is what Roadies is all about — unpredictability, loyalty, and passion.'
