The bold and the beautiful, Neha Dhupia said, “Roadies is now a benchmark in reality TV. Post 16 successful seasons, we couldn’t be more proud of bringing Roadies Revolution that aims to foster a positive spirit and bring about a change in society. With a new decade, we see the rise of Young India- one that raises a strong voice against injustice and social malice. This time, being a Roadie is not just about being competitive, adventurous and bold, but more so about making a difference through one’s motives and deeds. Roadies Revolution is going to be both special and challenging and we’re all set to kickstart this journey.”

With powerful themes and innovative concepts, Roadies has continued to stay relevant amongst the audience. This year, Roadies Revolution takes a bigger leap in directing the youngsters to commit themselves for greater good. We are glad to take this phenomenon ahead and hold the baton high to create a change, together with the youth.
