Reality shows live and breathe drama, grit, and moments that capture an underdog’s journey. MTV Roadies Double Cross was not an exception. With betrayals unfolding and friendships being put to test, there was one contestant who stood out against all the mess—Kushal Tanwar, affectionately called Gullu.
With willpower, determination, and grit, Gullu battled his way from elimination to comeback, finally winning the much-wanted title of Roadies Double Cross winner. His win, which is accompanied by ₹10 lakh prize money and a Karizma XMR bike, is a proof of perseverance and self-belief.
From Auditions to Victory: Kushal's Unstoppable Journey

The very moment Kushal Tanwar entered the auditions, he had an aura of fire and toughness that captured the attention of the judges straight away. Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty, and Gautam Gulati were among the first people to spot his potential.
As the season progressed, Kushal Tanwar proved to be a force to reckon with, tackling challenges with unwavering confidence. However, the unpredictability of Roadies saw him being voted out by his own gang members. Yet, fate had a different plan—he returned as a wild card contestant and joined Gautam Gulati’s team.
His second stint on the show was no less dramatic. From the underdog to winning a ticket to the finale, Kushal was also confronted with a choice: remain loyal to Gautam Gulati or go back to his original gang leader, Elvish Yadav. His choice to double-cross and join forces again with Elvish proved to be a game-changer.
The Finale Battle: Gullu vs. Hartaaj
The Roadies XX finale was nothing less than electrifying. Kushal Tanwar battled it out with Hartaaj Singh Gill of Prince Narula’s gang in a heart-stopping final challenge.
With Hartaaj finishing at 1 minute 48 seconds, it was looking like a tough competition. But Gullu stunned all by delivering a jaw-dropping 1 minute 16 seconds finish, taking the victory in style.
A Win That Speaks Volumes
Talking about his emotional victory, Kushal stated:
“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 victory is bigger than a trophy. It’s something for all of those people who’ve ever felt alone, who’ve ever been told that they’re not enough. I walked alone, but I never gave up.”
His words touch the hearts of every underdog who has ever dreamed of proving himself. This win was not about being famous or rich—it was about grit, showing that when all is stripped away, perseverance can still lead to victory.
Elvish Yadav's Proud Moment
For Elvish Yadav, Kushal’s victory was personal. “Right from Day 1, I witnessed fire in Gullu. He did not only win challenges, he won people’s hearts too. His journey embodies what Roadies Double Cross is all about—surprise, dedication, and passion. I couldn’t have wished for a better gang member in my first season!”
Elvish, who had guided Kushal right from the start, shared on Instagram how pleased he was: “I’m totally overwhelmed with feelings at the moment! My bro Gullu and I have WON Roadies Double Cross season! We did it, Gullu!”
