Roadies X4 auditions: it’s a wrap (December 2015)
The Roadies X4 auditions were held in Pune, Delhi, Chandigarh and Lucknow in November and December 2015. Once the last city was done, Rannvijay Singha, who first appeared on the show in 2003 and is widely credited as the winner of its first season, shared a photo of the full panel posing together: actor Neha Dhupia, wrestler Sushil Kumar, TV actor Karan Kundrra and himself.
He posted it on Twitter (now X) and Instagram, writing that it was a wrap for the auditions and that the team had found “some super Roadies”, with the hashtags #roadiesVDOT, #roadiesx4 and #Squadrann. The news agency ANI reported the post on 10 December 2015. The show’s own updates are on the official MTV Roadies account on X.
An earlier version of this page described Rannvijay as “the 32-year-old TV host”. We have removed the age, because his exact date of birth is not confirmed by a reliable source; he was born in 1983.
