Kushal Tanwar, a.k.a. Gullu from Elvish Yadav's gang, has won the title of Roadies Double Cross. India's longest-running and most thrilling adventure reality show, Roadies Double Cross, just wrapped its most unpredictable season ever! With mind-blowing twists, gut-wrenching betrayals, and a never-seen-before wildcard Gang Leader entry, this 20th edition of MTV Roadies was full of high-octane drama. And at the heart of this chaos emerged the name that ruled it all - Kushal Tanwar, a.k.a. Gullu, the newest Roadies Champion, securing a sensational win for debut Gang Leader Elvish Yadav.
From being picked in a fierce bidding war by Elvish to forming one of the most heartfelt bonds of the season, Gullu's journey was a rollercoaster. After his elimination mid-season, he made a stunning return in Gautam's gang, only to double-cross him and rejoin Elvish for the grand finale. His calculated moves, intense performances, and emotional vulnerability made him a force to reckon with. In a breathtaking finale challenge that pushed physical limits and mental strength, Gullu beat Hartaj and Rishabh by mere seconds. Reportedly, the winner will get a Hero Karizma bike, 10 lakhs crash prize and a POCO phone.

Ecstatic about the win, Gullu said, "Winning MTV Roadies Double Cross wasn't just a title - it was a silent scream finally heard. There was no support, no guiding hand, no one to lift me when I was down. I went through it all alone. This win is more than a trophy. It's a symbol for every person who's ever felt alone, who's ever been told they're not enough. I walked this path by myself, but I never gave up. And that's what this victory is: not fame, not glory - but proof that even when you have nothing, you can still become everything."
Elvish Yadav, proud of his protégé, added, "From Day 1, I saw fire in Gullu. He didn't just win tasks - he won hearts. His journey defines what Roadies Double Cross is all about - unpredictability, loyalty, and passion. I couldn't have asked for a better gang member in my debut season!"
Rannvijay Singha, host and heart of Roadies, shared, "This season had it all - drama, betrayal, redemption, and a finale that kept us on the edge. Gullu's journey reminded everyone why Roadies isn't just a show - it's a battleground of transformation. Hats off to every contestant and Gang Leader who made this 20th season one for the history books!"
This landmark 20th season of MTV Roadies was packed with firsts, surprises, and unforgettable moments. Prince Narula and Rhea Chakraborty returned to continue their fierce reign as Gang Leaders, while the fiery Neha Dhupia made her much-awaited comeback, stirring up the game like only she can. The season marked a historic turn with the debut of Elvish Yadav as a Gang Leader, bringing in massive fanfare and strategy, and, for the first time in Roadies history, a wildcard Gang Leader entry - with Gautam Gulati stepping into the battlefield midway.
