Ranvijay Singh hosted Roadies XX has finally come to an end with Elvish Yadav‘s gang member Kushal Tanwar emerging as the winner. Kushal took home prize money of Rs 10 lakhs and a Hero Kaizma bike. This was Elvish’s first season as a mentor on Roadies.

Right from his audition, Kushal Tanwar showcased a spark that impressed the judges Elvish Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati. Seen as a pretty strong contender, Kushal was also evicted by his team members. However, he returned as a wild card contestant on the show and joined Gautam’s team. And after winning the ticket to the finale, Kushal decided to join forces with his former Gang Leader, Elvish, ultimately paving the way for his victory.

Talking about his win, Kushal Tanwar said in a statement, “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 win is more than a trophy. It’s a symbol for every person who’s ever felt alone, who’s ever been told they’re not enough. I walked this path by myself, but I never gave up. And that’s what this victory is: not fame, not glory — but proof that even when you have nothing, you can still become everything.”

Being the winning gang leader, Elvish Yadav said, “From Day 1, I saw fire in Gullu (Kushal Tanwar). He didn’t just win tasks, he won hearts. His journey defines what Roadies Double Cross is all about — unpredictability, loyalty, and passion. I couldn’t have asked for a better gang member in my debut season!”

The 20th season of Roadies saw betrayals at every turn—both among contestants and gang leaders. While the audience appreciated the show’s unique concept, it was the constant clashes between gang leaders like Neha Dhupia and Gautam Gulati, or Elvish Yadav and Prince Narula, that grabbed headlines. Even contestants openly disrespecting their leaders sparked major discussions on social media.
