"अच्छे बंदे हूढ पे बाकी सारे थुढ पे।"

It takes guts to be real, and not play to outshine someone in a game that is all about personality showcase.

There are tons of people in the world who take time to grasp the briefing. As it is said: a too-long sentence loosens the concentration level! Making fun of this is basically senseless by the BB19 housemates, because even after listening to the task thoroughly, they never cracked it well! Take it as an example, the assembly room conversation of the post-Abhishek captaincy discussion, where half of the crowd tried to sn**ch away his game plan, but eventually Abhishek turned the tables in his favour.

Another one, when there was a weekend ka war task, in which every housemate had to name one friendship (fake) one. Everyone went with भेद चाल and named the same set of alliances; it was only he who cracked Farhana and Neelam's dual game plan, being appreciated by Salman Khan too.

Yes, I won't be denying that he was aggressive and rigid many times. Taking wrong decisions in the heat of the moment, crossing the line when he was wrong too. But I guess that's what his personality is all about. Being calm and attentive when required, and roaring when needed. If anyone says that I am only truculent or naive, then I suppose that is not entirely true based on human behaviour & psychology.

Abhishek was true to himself; he gave his 500% to make sure that his personality was seen, accepted, and acknowledged. When everyone was busy doing भसड़, he took an opportunity to hijack the main political discussion point of the show: Kitchen. Being new to the world of cooking, he gave his soul to bring out content. Not once, twice, or thrice, there were countless times when Abhishek chose to be the original content provider for the show.

His equations with each housemate were quite versatile, which clearly showed that he was approachable and a complete fit for the reality show like Bigg Boss.

हिरे का कोई मोल न जाने।

, your journey was indeed a Sher Dil. You never wanted your past to define your present & future. And guess what? You are now shining as an individual performer who has earned this title worth hard work!

'वो सफ़र ही क्या जिसमें चुनौती न हो। हर मोड़ एक नई कहानी लिखता है, बस उसे पार करने का हौसला चाहिए।'

Meet Hartaaj Veer Singh Gill, the Immunity King of MTV Roadies XX, Season 20. Like he mentioned during the Personal Interview (PI) round — he could double-cross anyone for his survival and victory — and he truly stood by his words, outshining in every task and vote-out.

What sets him apart from the other contestants? -- His agility to listen and comprehend the task.
Every task has a core objective which often gets overlooked by contestants in the rush to perform faster or simply win. But Hartaaj, being an actor, understands that performance demands more endurance and patience than haste and carelessness. He mentally breaks down the task's hook point and only then enters the field to conquer his Immunity.

Depending on gang leaders for rodiums was never his strategy -- analysing the graph of Roadies, he knows that if he is immune, no one can vote him out. Earning what rightfully belongs to him — that’s how he chose to play.

Having followed the journey of Roadies for a long time, and participating for the second row, but this time as a selected contestant, he understands the dynamics of vote-outs and how crucial they are. Even when he's non-immune, he doesn’t intend to go home — this was the perfect season for him to step in and defeat others using his presence of mind and diplomacy.

He plays his game — even if it means double-crossing his own gang members — and surprisingly, it didn’t backfire. After the elimination of another contestant, he got the perfect chance to showcase his physique and win tasks made for him.

A survivor is always criticised for his gameplay, but in the end, choosing yourself over others is what Roadies is all about.
And the best part? He plays the game as a game — never hitting below the belt for screen presence. Upholding the spirit of sportsmanship, he only involved himself where it was about the game, never indulging in disrespectful personal fights.

, you were incredible throughout the journey — in both tasks and vote-outs. A true Roadie, who survived the journey on the strength of the rulebook, not on pity or mind games.

'Chasing your dream can never make one a loser!'

Meet Sikandar, who wished to write his own story, but at the cost of day & night humiliation. He knew his calibre for the good and chose to wait until the end. However, this idea did not align with the hypocritical society's thought process, for whom a boy needs to earn at least a lac per month with a promising 9-5 job.

Is it all? Sikandar maintained his calm, adamant about this decision, he never let anyone belittle his work as an application taxi driver. Taking premium rides with online work, he earned much more than a typical society's good-book boys and was proud of it. All he craved was someone to accept his reality willingly, and not a possible position to grow together. Be happy to be flawed, and not look for perfection.

For him, the trust he had in himself matters the most. His wish to work as an executive position being a software engineer was nothing but a determination that his efforts were worth being paid equally.

He could wait for years to fulfil his dreams, as he chose to simultaneously earn his living and not be dependent. Yet, Sikandar could not live in peace for a minute, as the expectations of society and his parents used to break his motivation daily. The ones who should have been his pillars were the biggest demotivators in his life.

Smiling from the outside, while waiting for that one opportunity from the inside, he did not give up his dreams.

A happy-to-go person with a calm mind, kid by heart, understanding nature, and who knows the right time to shut everyone's mouth --- Sikandar Haider, the one who knew how to keep himself happy amidst the chaotic life. 🤍

, you were amazing as Sikandar. Loved the transition between the emotions -- from being sarcastic to hurt to full of life within seconds. Everything was so well emoted, especially those little frustrated and disappointed scenes! ♥️

Thank you, .akram.chaudhry for such a light-hearted comedy with such well-written characters and a beautiful love story.
