MTV Roadies XX Controversies
 

Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav's feud:

Prince Narula and Elvish Yadav, the two reality show personalities, have clashed ever since the 20th season of MTV Roadies began. Their disagreements have stemmed from contrasting opinions and differing personalities. Due to their strong social media backgrounds, connections and game, there have been many times when they locked horns. In the grand finale episode of the promo, the two will be seen fighting again. 

During the episode, Prince will remind Elvish about the time when he visited the latter's house to resolve their differences. Elvish was furious, which led to an ugly brawl between him and Yadav. Reports indicate that the two began verbally abusing each other, causing the situation to escalate further. Host Rannvijay Singha had to step in to intervene and stop the argument.

This controversy didn't stay till the show and escalated when Rajat Dalal got involved. After the controversy started gaining attention, Rajat made a bold move by sharing a video and narrating his side of the story. Sharing a clip on his Instagram, he asked Prince Narula to focus on his family and warned him to stop provoking Elvish.

MTV Roadies XX Highlights

 

Rannvijay Singha's return to Roadies:

MTV Roadies XX has been special as host Rannvijay Singha returned to the adventure reality show after a long hiatus. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, the host had spoken about his return. He said, "Well, I’m back on the show. I wasn't around for three or four years. This is something that I've grown up with; I've helped build it since 2003. Me and Roadies have grown up together, so it was never like a situation where I was not going to be part of it, just like some men played, some men sort of had it."

Singha added, "But one of those hallmark years, the 20th season of something that I've been doing successfully, I've been part of it, glad I'm back, most of the group, I know the fight, I know the tactics, again, we're all thrown together and it's good to figure out what's going to happen in the 20th season, double-cross, get different kinds of contestants, Gang Leaders, not just four, five, lots of different things, you know, we really went out there. So it is one of those seasons, like a pillar season, where things are kind of defined; it's a 20th season, probably that much. So I'm glad I'm back, and it worked out so well."

Elvish Yadav's debut in the Roadies universe:

Social media sensation Elvish Yadav made his debut in the Roadies universe with MTV Roadies XX. Known for being one of the popular YouTubers and winning Bigg Boss OTT 2, Elvish forayed into the world of adventure with the 20th season of this hit reality show. Elvish joined MTV Roadies as a gang leader, joining experienced gang leaders like Prince Narula, Neha Dhupia, and Rhea Chakraborty.

MTV Roadies XX major twists

 

Gautam Gulati's wild card entry:

Gautam Gulati's entry in MTV Roadies XX has been one of the biggest twists of this season.

And then comes the biggest double-cross as Gullu decides to go in Elvish Yadav's gang. 

Apart from these, there were many other shocking moments, backstabbing, alliances, vote-outs and game-changing twists that kept the viewers hooked. From emotional breakdowns to fierce showdowns, this season captured the raw essence of Roadies like never before.
