Here is what the former Roadies director had to say about the show
The MTV Roadies format was created by my brother Nikhil Alva @njalva and was meant to be a show that inspired & united the youth of India to do good and get involved with nation building.

I directed the 1st Season of Roadies, produced by Miditech, that discovered youth icon @rannvijaysingha (Season 1) We also produced Season 2 that Bollywood Superstar @ayushmannk won.

It sickens me to see what has been done to the Roadies format over time. Backstabbing, bad language, abusive anchors, violence and in-your-face-sexuality were never a part of the format.#UnrealRoadies

The show has degenerated over time to the point where it is an embarrassment to brand MTV & to any advertiser associated with it.

In the end,these young participants have to go back into the real world. It is worth considering the long term damage being done to them,for ratings.
