In a finale that blended raw emotion with nerve-wracking intensity, Kushal Tanwar — fondly known as Gullu — emerged as the winner of MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross. Representing YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s gang, the underdog contestant walked away with ₹10 lakh in prize money and a Hero Kaizma bike, scripting a remarkable story of resilience and grit.
Kushal made his first mark during the auditions, impressing a panel that included Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty, and Gautam Gulati. Though he started off as a strong contender, his journey took an unexpected turn when he was evicted by his own gang. Yet, like every great comeback story, Gullu returned — this time as a wildcard — and made his presence felt.
A Calculated Gamble That Paid Off
Initially absorbed into Gautam Gulati’s team post-eviction, Kushal stunned everyone by switching back to Elvish Yadav’s gang after securing a ticket to the finale. The bold move became the turning point in his Roadies journey, setting the stage for one of the show’s most emotionally charged victories.
“This win is more than just a title,” Gullu said after the finale. “It’s a silent scream finally heard. There was no one to support me, no guiding hand. I went through it all alone. But I never gave up.” His words resonated with viewers across the country, who saw in him a reflection of every person fighting to be seen, to be valued.
This was Elvish Yadav’s debut season as a gang leader on Roadies, and winning it with Gullu by his side added a feather to his cap. “From Day 1, I saw fire in him,” Elvish said. “He didn’t just win tasks, he won hearts. His journey is what Roadies is all about — unpredictability, loyalty, and passion.”
Roadies XX: Drama, Betrayal, and Redemption
The 20th season of the cult reality show was steeped in twists, dramatic betrayals, and gang politics. From open clashes between gang leaders to internal rivalries among contestants, Double Cross lived up to its name. But amid the chaos, Gullu’s quiet strength and strategic choices shone through.
While much of Gullu’s personal life remains private, his Roadies journey spoke volumes. A contestant with no apparent backing or showbiz connections, he relied on performance and persistence to make his mark. His journey — marked by rejection, self-belief, and a well-timed comeback — now stands as one of Roadies’ most inspiring narratives.
