YouTube star Elvish Yadav, who became a gang leader for the first time on MTV Roadies Double Cross, ended his debut season on a high note. His team member Kushal 'Gullu" Tanwar emerged as the winner of the season, taking home the trophy on Sunday evening. Elvish was proud of his team's performance and said, 'Double Cross ka theme tha, aur humne har move mein uska asli matlab dikhaya. System hang karna sirf shabd nahi, ek soch hai – aur aaj woh soch jeet gayi. Gang Elvish ne dikhaya ki asli game kaise khela jaata hai." Sharing his thoughts on Gullu's win, Elvish added, 'From Day 1, I saw fire in Gullu. 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!" Gullu's journey was full of surprises. He shocked everyone when he left his original gang leader Gautam Gulati to join Elvish Yadav's team. Right from being chosen in a heated bidding round by Elvish to becoming one of the most emotionally connected contestants of the season, Gullu's ride was a true rollercoaster. His smart decisions, strong performances, and emotional depth made him stand out. In a gripping finale that tested both physical stamina and mental toughness, Gullu defeated fellow finalists Hartaj and Rishabh. After winning the cash prize of ₹10 lakh, Gullu shared his happiness, saying, 'Double Cross ka matlab sapne suna tha, maine karke dikhaya. Jab samjha ki Elvish bhai ke saath game next level jayega, maine decision liya — aur aaj trophy mere haath mein hai. Gang Elvish ne mujhe woh space diya jahan main full power mein khel saka. Yahi toh hai asli Roadies." He also spoke about what the win truly means to him: '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." Gullu added, 'It is 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." Host Rannvijay Singha also praised this season, saying, 'This season had it all – drama, betrayal, redemption, and a finale that kept us on the edge. Gullu's journey reminded everyone why Roadies isn't just a show, it's a battleground of transformation." MTV Roadies: Double Cross is the 20th season of the popular show and is currently streaming on JioHotstar. As for Elvish Yadav, he started his YouTube journey with the launch of Elvish Yadav Vlogs in November 2019. By February 2024, the channel had 15.5 million subscribers and 134 million views. Known for his daily vlogs and movie reviews with friends and family, Elvish also started a gaming channel called Elvish Yadav Gaming in May 2023. In 2023, he joined Bigg Boss OTT (Hindi Season 2) as a wildcard contestant and ended up winning the season. (With inputs from IANS) First Published: June 02, 2025, 07:59 IST
