It Is Going To Be Raghu And Rajiv Vs Devarshi In Epic Roadies Showdown
Last Updated: Devarshi Patel, who became a sensation even before social media took over for his unforgettable audition on Roadies 6, reunites with Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman. Devarshi Patel became a sensation even before social media took over, thanks to his unforgettable audition on Roadies 6. Back then, the judges Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman got tired of his antics, but now, after 16 years, they have come together again. Just like in 2009, Devarshi's energy was high, leaving the former Roadies judges amused throughout the video. The trio talked about their old times and shared some memories. During the chat, Devarshi also mentioned that he is now an inspirational comedian, which left Raghu and Rajiv confused. While appearing on Raghu and Rajiv's YouTube channel, Devarshi, speaking about his life, said, 'I have been really awesome. But you know what? I have recently launched my new brand and now, I am an inspirational comedian. Let me explain. Around the world, there are many inspirational speakers. They are very good. But now, let's talk about comedians. When I think about comedians, what I have noticed is that either they try to insult others, act cool or make fun of someone. But I'm different. I can inspire you and also make you laugh out loud." During the chat, Devarshi Patel also shared what pushed him to audition for Roadies. He explained, 'If I had just thought, 'I will try,' I wouldn't have been selected. Even if I had told myself, 'I'll try my best, Come on Devarshi, try your best, you can do it,' no man, that's not enough. Saying 'I will try' is equal to failure. Even 'I will try my best' also leads to failure. But the real winning mindset is, 'I will do whatever it takes.' Whatever is needed to reach the goal, you do that and that's exactly what I did. I stood for 8 hours in a line without food, surviving only on water. But today, I feel blessed that I did it. I'm here now and I thank God, it was all worth it. Devarshi Patel also spoke about his viral birthday dance video, which has already crossed over 1 million views on Instagram. He shared that it happened at his office, where people told him he was good at dancing. So, he decided to dance and then they celebrated by cutting a cake. Listening to this, Raghu jumped in and gave his honest opinion. He told Devarshi that while his dance moves were not great at all, his energy while dancing was fun. However, he jokingly told Devarshi not to call himself a good dancer. Devarshi Patel surprised Raghu and Rajiv even more when he revealed that he is married. What made it even more interesting was that his wife's name is Devashri, which sounds very similar to his own name. The unexpected reveal left the brothers shocked. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Viral Roadies contestant Devarshi Patel meets Raghu-Rajiv after 16 years, recreates hilarious audition: ‘I am married now, work as inspirational comedian'
Remember Devarshi Patel from Roadies? The 2009 contestant, now a comedian, recently reunited with Raghu and Rajiv. The trio recreated some parts of their iconic audition, taking fans back to the good old days. Devarshi recently appeared on Raghu and Rajiv's YouTube channel. Unlike his audition days, Devarshi seemed energetic, expressing excitement in meeting the twin brothers after 16 long years. Devarshi looked at his watch and said, 'Its 8:30 pm, so I won't say good evening.' Devarshi's energy left Raghu and Rajiv in splits. They said, 'Tu bilkul bhi change nahi hua (You haven't changed at all).' During his Roadies audition, Devarshi had looked at his watch. Raghu and Rajiv then recalled Devarshi's statement from the original audition, where he said, 'If I borrow a pen from someone, I know for a fact that the person will remember me even after two years of that incident.' As they walked down memory lane, Devarshi surprised them by gifting a customised pen with his wife's name. With a smile on his face, he said, 'I am now married.' This surprised Raghu and Rajiv, who asked Devarshi with a laugh, 'Kaise, kyu (How and why?)' He then revealed his wife's name is Devashri. He added, '(Devar)shi and (Deva)shri is a great combination.'

He said, 'I have been awesome. I have recently launched a new brand. Now, I am an inspirational comedian.' The term inspirational comedian left Raghu and Rajiv confused. Devarshi explained to them, 'I will tell you. Across the globe, there are a lot of inspirational speakers. Inspirational speaking is good. Now, when I talk about comedians, what I have observed till now is that either they abuse and tend to be cool or they put someone down. But, I am different. I am an inspirational comedian. I can inspire you and also get you LOL (laugh out loud).' Rajiv said, 'I am getting a flashback.' Looking back at his audition, Devarshi said, 'When Raghu asked me about dancing, I said, 'I am overweight so dancing won't look good.'' Devarshi, however, worked on that skill and said, 'Now, I am awesome at dancing. Can you please play some music? I can dance.'

Never call yourself a good dancer. However, its nice to watch you dance.' He had used a similar line back in 2009 after hearing him sing. They then mocked his career as an 'inspirational comedian,' Rajiv said, 'Iska inspirational comedy ka quote hai 'Trying is the first step to failure'.' Devarshi then explained the logic behind it. He said, 'I wanted to get selected in Roadies. If I had only thought that I should try, I would have failed. But, the spirit is… 'I will do whatever it takes to get selected.' I stood in the audition line for about 8 hours without food. Today, I feel blessed that I did that and I am here. I thank God it was all worth it.' Raghu and Rajiv then shared the pros and cons of him participating in the reality show. They said, 'It's a known fact that you received both attention and hate post Roadies. A lot of people must have mocked you.' Devarshi quickly said, 'I have one word for my haters, ignorance. I don't pay attention to them.' When asked if he ever felt bad about all the trolling, Devarshi said, 'No. Never ever.' Devarshi, who once confessed that he was lonely and had one-sided affection for a doctor, now shared that he is happily married. 'My wife is very supportive. She goes out of the way to do things for me. She is least bothered about monetary things. And I think she likes me for who I am. She often tells me, 'You are a good human being.'' Towards the end of the video, Raghu confessed, 'Before meeting you after all these years, I was wondering 'How much you must have changed in life'. But it seems like you are changed and not changed at the same time. You are the same person, but I believe wiser version of yourself.' Raghu added, 'Back then when you said that people will remember you even two years after lending their pen to you… people might have laughed at it then, but when it turns out to be true. The person realises that you were not bluffing. We then thought it was very weird of you to say that, but it is not weird when the person is you.' Their video prompted several reactions from Roadies fans, who flooded their YouTube comments section with their excitement. A user wrote, 'A splash of nostalgia for all those who were die-hard old school Roadies fan and never missed a single audition episode. I've seen the original audition video about a hundred times and it's a real treat to see that they recreated it efficiently.' Another user wrote, 'When Raghu said – he was right about not being able to forget him even after 17 years — he was right… Pen manga vi nahi par yaad reh gaya .. awesome.' Other comments read, 'Devarshi's Roadies interview is one of the fav parts of my childhood', 'Loved it. It's a humble request please keep making such episodes in the similiar format. In the age of podcasts, we want to have Raghu & Rajiv in this format where the duo creates the magic,' and, 'Oh man what a nostalgia. Roadies 2008 was something else entirely.'

Elvish Yadav On His Rift With Prince Narula: ‘Vibe Match Nahi Hoti'
Last Updated: Throughout the season, the audience witnessed Prince and Elvish getting into several heated debates, disagreements and fights. MTV Roadies DoubleX, the adventure reality show hosted by Rannvijay Singha, has officially concluded with Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, from Elvish Yadav's gang, taking home the winner's title. While the season was packed with adrenaline-pumping challenges, one of its most talked-about highlights was the ongoing feud between gang leaders Elvish Yadav and Prince Narula. The duo frequently clashed on-screen, engaging in heated arguments and confrontations that quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms. Now, during a recent podcast with Faisal Shaikh aka Mr Faisu, Elvish broke his silence on his feud with the Bigg Boss 9 winner. He said, 'Main nahi bolunga ki muje koi pasand nahi. It's like vibe match nahi hoti, thoughts match nahi hote. Mai thoda mazakiya type ka aadmi hu, mai dil pe nahi lagata cheezon ko. (I wouldn't say I don't like anyone. It's like a vibe, and thoughts never age. I am the type of person who plays around. I don't keep things inside my heart)." 'Lekin wo thoda hai. Kisi bhi baat pe chid jaana, personal jaana, below the belt hit karna toh wo sab maine chod. Main bhi kar sakta hu, karne ko koi bhi kar sakta hai, but wo maine chod diya. (He is easily irritated, takes things personally, and hits below the belt. I've quit doing it. I can do it, but I've stopped.)" Further, when asked about their current status, Elvish revealed that he is not on talking terms with Prince and maintains a distance. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner also stated how Prince frequently referred to him as his younger brother, but things turned awful. He shared, 'Koi dushmani bhi nahi hai (There is no rival)." Prince, on the other hand, during a podcast show with Paras Chhabra, blamed Yadav for his supporters' abusive behaviour, claiming that the latter has been inciting them to troll his parents and infant daughter Ekleen. He shared, 'Elvish knows exactly how his fans reacts, and by uttering things like 'wait for the Roadies episode' and hinting at his strength, he's provoking people to attack me," adding, 'Elvish's supporters went too far by hitting my parents and even pulling my infant daughter into it. Now that I am a father, I will not tolerate such behaviour. My parents and daughter have nothing to do with this." Apart from Elvish and Prince, other gang leaders on the show were Neha Dhupia, Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Neha Dhupia recalls taking 45-day-old daughter Mehr to Roadies set: ‘I asked for a break every 3 hours'
Over the years, many actors have continued working during pregnancy, including Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor and others. Neha Dhupia is among them. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Neha opened up about how she had to bring her daughter Mehr to the Roadies set when she was just 45 days old, and recalled how she managed the situation. Neha Dhupia with her daughter Mehr and husband Angad Bedi. Neha Dhupia on taking 45-day-old Mehr to Roadies set Earlier, Neha had voiced her support for Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift request on social media, calling it fair. She reiterated her support during the interview and said that if that's what Deepika wants—and deserves, given who she is—it could pave the way for change and benefit others as well. Neha also reflected on her own experience of balancing work and motherhood. She said, "I was on the set of Roadies when Mehr was 45 days old, and I took her with me because I was still exclusively feeding her. And in that kind of environment, which is still not very comfortable—you have your support staff, but it's still not the same thing—you have to go and have that conversation with the people you're working with." Neha Dhupia backs Deepika Padukone She added, "I said that every three hours there would be a break because I'd need 40–45 minutes off for my child. Otherwise, my child would go hungry and I'd be uncomfortable—and they understood. So one has to be extremely sensitised when working with a new mum, because the demands change. It's not just her, but also her child. And I know she (Deepika) has already signed another project—so kudos to her." Neha has been a part of Roadies since its thirteenth season. She welcomed her daughter Mehr in November 2018, and Roadies Season 16 began in February 2019. After Season 17, she took a break, during which Rhea Chakraborty replaced her as a gang leader in 2024. However, Neha made her comeback this year in Roadies XX. Although she didn't win the trophy, fans were thrilled to see her return.
