About this page
MTV Roadies is a youth reality show on MTV India in which contestants are chosen at city auditions and then travel and compete in tasks. Raghu Ram, who created the show, once described Roadies as having “travel, adventure, drama, touch of voyeurism”. The show airs on MTV India.
This page was first written in late 2017 to share the audition schedule for Roadies Xtreme. That season has long finished, so we keep the page as a record of the announced auditions and add how the season turned out. Details were checked again in October 2026.
Roadies Xtreme audition schedule (December 2017)
This is the schedule as published on this page in late 2017. We could not find an archived official MTV notice to re-check the cities, dates and venues, so treat them as what was announced at the time, not as a confirmed record.
| City | Date | Venue announced |
|---|---|---|
| Pune | 6 December 2017 | Yash Lawns, Bibvewadi Road |
| Delhi NCR | 12 December 2017 | Expo Drive, Sector 62, Noida |
| Chandigarh | 16 December 2017 | Indradhanush Auditorium, Sector 5, Panchkula |
| Kolkata | 20 December 2017 | Not announced when this page was written |
Gates were announced to open at 9 a.m. in each city. The official audition video that was embedded in the original version of this page is no longer available.
Who judged the Roadies Xtreme auditions
The original version of this page said the judges would be Rannvijay Singha, Prince Narula, Karan Kundrra and Neha Dhupia, and guessed that VJ Gaelyn Mendonca would host again. That is not how the season was set up:
- Host and mentor: Rannvijay Singha, who took over as host from this season. Gaelyn Mendonca had hosted the two previous seasons, Roadies X4 and Roadies Rising.
- Gang leaders: Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Nikhil Chinapa and the rapper Raftaar. Together with Rannvijay, they took the auditions.
- Karan Kundrra did not return. He had left during the previous season’s journey and was replaced by Nikhil Chinapa.
The original article also called this season “season 16”. Roadies Xtreme was season 15; season 16 was Roadies Real Heroes in 2019.
How Roadies Xtreme turned out
After the auditions, the selected contestants were split into four gangs led by Neha, Prince, Nikhil and Raftaar. The season ran on MTV India from 18 February to 4 August 2018 with 24 contestants.
- Winner: Kashish Thakur (Gang Neha)
- First runner-up: Preeti Kuntal (Gang Prince)
- Second runner-up: Nishkarsh (Gang Prince)
