Since its debut in 2003, MTV Roadies has captured the imagination of Indian youth with its blend of adventure, strategy, and fierce competition. What began as a simple adventure-based reality show has evolved into a dynamic series with changing formats, unexpected twists, and passionate contestants.
Each season brings something new, whether it’s intense physical tasks or unexpected alliances. Over the years, the show's format has undergone significant changes, introducing gang leaders, strategic gameplay, and team dynamics that have kept viewers engaged.
In May 2025, MTV Roadies aired its 20th season titled MTV Roadies: Double Cross". This milestone edition was marked by shifting alliances and heated strategic gameplay. One of the most dramatic moments this season occurred when contestant Kushal Gullu Tanwar won the ticket-to-finale task and switched from Gautam Gulati’s gang to Elvish Yadav’s gang.
