I'm in a similar doubt myself ... We can't say, Money & Fame may force people to fake it?!

But, sam92's brother AJ participated in Roadies 3, so I "think" it's real...

Regarding Biking, I think it's a very small part of it... Biking ain't Roadies...

A. Yes. Its innovative too. Much better than the Ektaa Kapoor produced "Saas Bahu" dramas or the countless dance, song, comedy competitions.


Q. Do I think that Hero Honda has gained from MTV "Roadies"?

A. Definitely yes. "Jo Dikhta hai, woh bikta hai..!!"


Q. Do I think that MTV "Roadies" has given birth to bikers who want to "ride on" just for the sheer pleasure of riding..??

A. I have my doubts.
According to me, the "Roadies" wannabe is more after the fame and adventure (??) that the show provides with all the tasks/back biting and exotic locations. But yes, the show might be able to lure a young prospective buyer into a HH showroom.


Like someone said a few posts back, "Roadtrip" on NDTV GoodTimes is a much better show on biking.
I agree on both of your points... better than Ektaa's Crying Operas, funny n bitchy at the same tym...+ GALS man, who dsnt like watching hot bitching gals!!!

n NDTV roadtrip, yeh its obviously a beter one coz its actually a Touring show...

Biking related or not, "MTV Roadies" can be given the credit for making Biking a little bit more Glamourous among Indian youth.
Kinda like the movie "Dhoom" can be given credit for making "Superbikes" in India a little bit more glamourous dream to pursue.


And that fact that blokes are already talking/debating/loving/hating but definitely not ignoring the program, itself says that the show has become quite a hit (There are guys who love/hate iPods/Apple Products, Splendors/Pulsars.. don't they..??).

Heard this in Hindi the other day, "Jab bhi Koi tumhare baare mein charcha karne lage, bhale hi aacha ya bura.. samho ke tarraki kar rahe ho..!!"
