Sneak peek into the Roadies
9 Chandigarh Audition through a blogger lens, click here.
Everything or Nothing is the tag line of Roadies
9, truly depicting the ambiance at Indradhanush Auditorium, the venue for
the Roadies 9 Chandigarh audition. People from all walks of life crowded in to
get selected for the most popular youth based reality television series.
Roadies series have always lived unto its image of being rowdy and dusty
with sharp and ravishing twists and turns where participants compete with each
other in some of the annoying, embarrassing and weirdest tasks.
when you want something vigorously; the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it
Paulo Coelho once quoted that when you want something vigorously; the entire
universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. Till 8th October
these lines were just like any other thoughtful words, better only to be read and
left behind. But then I experienced the same on my way to the Roadies 9
audition venue. Being nocturnal caused me dearly as I wake just an hour before
I was asked to officially report at the venue. Brushing aside any negative
vibes I rushed fast so as to compensate for the delay. But then, in the path of
joy and me lies the ignorance of bus drivers who took mine waving hand as an
act of surrender before their supreme power.
Tension creeping with no other way around me saw a messiah in the face of
a young gentleman in his early twenties ridding the Royal Enfield.
Finally, for the last time with full vigour I waved my hands asking for a
hitchhike. This time God was all with me, gentleman heart resonated with mine,
his legs pushing the metallic brakes making his big powerful black sparkling giant to stop at once. The journey which could have taken almost half an hour
took merely 20 minutes.
Gayatri, a young beautiful charming lady, working with the MTV India who called me a day before disclosing
the news of me getting selected as one of the few bloggers to unleash the
backstage hidden secrets of Roadies escorted me to the scintillating
podium, on the way handing me a placard with press written in bold letters.
Yeah! You read it right, a press card. The auditorium was jammed packed buzzing
and sizzling with wannabe roadies. A crew member told me that people have been
flocking at the gates of the auditorium since last night, chanting Roadies
anthem and shouting slogans. 
A beautiful model set the mood high with her blazing anchoring. Soon
ex-roadies Bani, Anamika, Mohit and Suchit came in to spur up the mood
and in no time whatsoever the auditorium was wobbling with enchanted spirits.
Then came up the announcement of the 3R’s coming in which rocked the auditorium
like never before; Raghu, Rajeev & Rannvijay were all there with
people shouting, dancing and doing it all to show their love, affection and
above all passion for the glorious reality television series. Nagesh
Kukunoor surprised all with his being there to promote his latest flick
starring Rannvijay.
Rannvijay directing all the participants strictly to use only Hindi
as the medium of expression in the group discussion touched my heart, even
somewhere in the country Hindi is given its due status. Time and again Raghu
& Rajeev asked the participants not to wear any masks and conceive their
true identity as befooling them wasn’t easy and the repercussions would be
tormenting.
Meanwhile our joy spells no
bound when we received news of interviewing the ex-roadies. I must confess this
that even after being a Roadie Anamika hasn’t lost her perkiness.
Ex-roadies narrated their eventful Roadie journey and life after that; they
told us that Roadies unlike other reality shows isn’t scripted. They cherished
each and every moment of the journey.
The group discussion
rounds began soon after and we bloggers were given exclusive permission to
be a part of it. It was overwhelming to see the MTV moderator setting the pace
of the GD’s with participants doing their bit to outcast each other and MTV
crew recording each and every intense moment. The interview with one of the
moderator threw light on the essence of Roadies. It’s not always about aptitude
but all about attitude which decides a participant altitude.
nothing can trample hard work and strong will
Best things often happen
late and so was the case here as our restless soul waiting to meet Raghu
& Rajeev was given solace when Gayatri took us to their room. The twin
stalwart narrated their Roadies journey from the very first series till the
present one. They told us that nothing can trample hard work and strong will.
It was great to see the youth icons full of humility and modesty. I found the
mainstream media falsely distorting the image of Raghu Ram and Rajeev
Lakshman.
As a token of appreciation
bloggers were given goodies from the crew of Roadies 9; thank you MTV
India & BlogAdda for bestowing upon us a memorable moment to cherish
for long.
