Anchor-host-VJ Nikhil Chinapa, who has been a gangleader, contestant and also judged Roadies, is disappointed that he will no longer be a part of the show.
Nikhil has been associated with the show for many years and shares a great rapport with all the other gangleaders. He says, "I am disappointed that I wont be a part of Roadies now. They have changed the format, so none of my colleagues will be part of it either. We used to look forward to the show every year and it would be great fun. I started off as someone who selected the contestants, then as a gangleader, and I was also actively a part of the selection process for many years. It used to be challenging journey, interacting with the crew and we contributed to the making of the show."
Nikhil adds, "Guess, the channel wants to change the format and bring in a fresh perspective. I am hoping that someone will rope the four of us - Neha Dhupia, Rannvijay Singha, Prince Narula and myself and do a spin-off of the show, because spin offs are the flavour of the month on various platforms."
Ask Nikhil about Sonu Sood replacing Rannvijay Singha as the host and he says, "It is not entirely on Sonu Sood, it is also on the contestants to make the show entertaining for viewers. But I am sure he will have a great time hosting the show. And I don't feel we should compare the host with anyone else because it's like apples and oranges. Rannvijay has been a part of the show for a very long time and he had a great sense and instinct about how the show should go on."
