MTV Roadies is a popular youth based reality show that enjoys immense fan following. It started airing in 2003 and new seasons continue to drop yearly even now. Many contestants who featured on Roadies are very popular now, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rannvijay Singha, Bani J, Prince Narula, Baseer Ali and more. Not just who made it on the show or won it, but those who didn't get selected on it also went viral. For some, Roadies was a step towards success in the entertainment industry, while for others it was a platform where they could showcase thier skills and prove themselves to the world and their families.

One such Roadies aspirant was Harshit Tomar. He featured in the auditions round in one of the show's earlier seasons. However, Harshit's Roadies 8 audition in 2011 did not turn out the way he had planned. He was abused by judges Raghu, Rajiv and Rannvijay and called names. Harshit claimed to be a rapper, but when he hit some verses, he was cut midway and made fun of. Eventually, he was shown the door. The judging panel didn't see him turning out to be a success in his future endeavours. His Roadies audition went viral among watchers. Later on, Harshit featured on another reality show - Superstud.
