Rannvijay Singha finally REVEALS why he is not part of new season of Roadies

Rannvijay Singha who had hosted MTV Roadies for 18 years have quit the show. He has been replaced by actor Sonu Sood. In a recent interview, Singha revealed why he is not part of Roadies new season. He told ETimes that he has been a part of Roadies since the first day and he is the only consistent person who has done it for the last 18 years.

He added, “With me and the channel we have worked not only on Roadies but other shows as well approximately 14-15 shows with them. It’s just that this is the one I started with, it kind of becomes synonymous. Due to prior commitments, Covid restrictions, date shifting, shooting in South Africa, now things are different at my end. It just so happened that I am not able to do it this season.”

Rannvijay also said that the channel and he are going to work together on other big editions adding, “For this particular Roadies I can’t be a part of it. That’s just the thing and there is no masala.”

He further said the location shifted to South Africa and they were earlier planning to shoot in December and that time there was a fear of Omicron. “We know Omicron started from South Africa and things became difficult and then later there were dates clashing as well. I never thought it would become such a big thing, in fact the channel and me we both are now discussing how big this thing has become. We never anticipated this,” he said.

On Sonu Sood hosting the show, he said he and Sonu are very close and he feels there can’t be a better thing than Sonu hosting it. “He’s like an elder brother to me. We met each other 2 months ago and we talked a lot about so many things. I had an amazing time with him. It is the best thing for Roadies,” said Rannvijay.
