Roadies Real Heroes evicted contestant Nikita Yadav: Exited the show with my head held high

Here are excerpts from the conversation:

Were you expecting to get voted of the show?

When we got to know that it’s an internal gang vote out, it was not shocking at all. Tara was immune and so Milind and I couldn’t vote him out. In case we had a chance, we would have voted him out, after seeing him swing his loyalty more towards Prince’s gang. We were all in a helpless situation.

But you and Tara could have voted out Milind?

I know, and it would have been a game-changer. After Tarun’s eviction, Tara had wanted to get Milind out and it was his only chance. He could have turned the entire game and even won love from Tarun’s friends and fans. I was anyway not holding the queen’s position in the chessboard, nothing will change without me. If Tara had taken a chance, I would still be in the game.

You left everyone impressed with your performance against Rashmeet. It must have come as a big consolation.

I have always believed in letting my work talk. I was quiet throughout the show because I wanted to prove myself in the task. And I did manage to do that. So I shut everyone up and left the show with my head held high.

Did you have enough support from your gang leader Neha Dhupia?

I did get support from her but yes, there were many ups and downs. I entered the show as the ‘vaat’ and so had to prove my worth time and again. Also, I had a hard time mingling with people. But my eviction came only when I felt I have finally lived my Roadies journey. I aced the task, proved myself and made friends. I think this is why it didn’t feel too bad, though yes, I did deserve to stay longer in the show.

After Roadies, you must have become a star in college?

I have always been the star in my college (laughs). I was the Miss Fresher and always received extraordinary attention from everyone. But yes, my college mates are definitely surprised that I could survive Roadies for this long.

What’s next?

I am pursuing my Philosophy Honours from Daulat Ram College, and I want to complete my education. Roadies has been an amazing journey but I don’t want to shift to Mumbai to just seek fame. Now I know about the industry and it will definitely give me an edge whenever I want to enter it. For now, I have started fashion, lifestyle and makeup blogging. This is something I have always wanted to do.

While Rannvijay Singha is the ringmaster, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula, Sandeep Singh, Raftaar and Nikhil Chinapa are the gang leaders on Roadies Real Heroes.
