Last season, MTV Roadies saw a format shift with the gang leaders going away, and Sonu Sood stepping into Rannvijay Singha’s shoes. However, the latest season, Roadies: Karm Ya Kaand is back with Prince Narula as one of the gang leaders, while Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati debuting as the mentors. In a chat with indianexpress.com, Prince shared how he feels ‘good’ to be back as the show is really important to him. “This is the platform that makes so many people’s dreams come true. I would never want the show to get affected, and thus as many times as I am asked to come back, I would. Roadies is really an important show for me.”

The reality star added that people connect to him and the other gang leaders on Roadies, as they can see their passion for the show. Prince said that fans missed watching them and their fights on the show, as that adds to the overall appeal of the show.

Prince Narula also spoke about the equation he shares with the new gang leaders — Rhea Chakraborty and Gautam Gulati. He said that initially there were a few hiccups. “Unko mujhe samajhne mein, and mujhe unhe samajhne mein time laga (we took time to understand each other). This is just a show for them but it’s an emotion for me. Earlier, we would have the worst of fights but no one got personal. We were so involved that we would get loud but that never meant we were disrespectful towards each other. The new ones on the show would take time to adapt to the format and the personalities. However, I have always believed in mutual respect, and would do so. Baaki unko samajhna padega yeh show hai kya (they will have to understand what this show is about),” the actor said.

Recently, there were rumours of Prince and Rhea having a showdown on the set, with them storming off. When asked about the same, he smiled to say, “If there are articles on so many small topics, what do I do? I think when they watch the show they will realise what happened. I am mature enough to handle the show and what it demands. I am all good.”

On a final note, Prince Narula shared how much he missed his OG Gang Leaders – Neha Dhupia, Raftaar and Nikhil Chinapa. He shared that with the maturity level they shared, the understanding was on a different level. “You guys have seen Neha and me fight, she would never call me battamiz (impolite). It’s all in that moment, the show is such. If Kohli (Virat Kohli) is not aggressive on the field, he’ll never be himself. He loves the game, and similarly we love the show. If others cannot understand that, I cannot change myself.”
