Nishi Tanwar Accuses Roadies XX Makers Of Favouritism: ‘This Season Was Solely For Male Participants'
Roadies XX contestant Nishi Tanwar opened up about not receiving enough support from her gang leader, Prince Narula. Roadies XX: Double Cross has kept fans hooked with its intense rivalries and high-stakes competition. Hosted by Rannvijay Singha, the latest season features a powerhouse panel of gang leaders, including Prince Narula, Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Rhea Chakraborty, and Gautam Gulati. However, the journey recently came to an end for Nishi Tanwar, a contestant from Prince Narula's gang. Following her elimination, Nishi opened up in an interview with The Times of India, expressing disappointment over the lack of support from her gang leader and teammates. She went on to allege gender bias in the show's format this year. 'This year's season was solely made for the male participants and not for the female contestants. May it be the task or the tasks or the gang leader's priority, it was always the men who were seen to be given the preferences." She further showed her disappointment with the makers, saying, 'I wasn't quite happy with it, and it made me wonder why they even call the female contestants in the show. They should make a show with only the men, and then enjoy it. I was quite disappointed with this." Nishi revealed that she had a lot of respect for Prince when she entered the show. 'He was someone she looked up to — not just as a gang leader but as someone who had made his mark through sheer hard work. But somewhere along the way, things changed. I didn't get enough priority from him or my gang. While things with other gang leaders are good, it's still bitter with him. Things ended on a bad note, and the bitterness remains," she added. However, despite her short journey, she is grateful to be a part of Roadies. Nishi said, 'Roadies is not just a game of strength — it's also a test of character. I made some amazing friends, learned so much about myself, and discovered how strong I really am. That's what I'm taking back with me." First Published:
