Interview
Hear ye! Hear ye! Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Jaisalmer to Leh; thirteen contestants, 12 vote outs, immunity tasks, money tasks, fights, lack of sleep and crappy toilets to name a few but all that’s over now because we have a winner.
20 yr old Parul, that small diminutive Delhi girl with a cute smile has beaten them all; tough guys Amitinder, Laveen and Rahul included. Oh and remember the auditions. This girl didn’t even get selected for ROADIES 2 and now she takes home the grand prize of Rs 4,87,000. How? Did she have a plan? Did she bribe the others? I mean how? Well don’t ask me – presenting Parul and her journey.

MTV: How do you feel?
Parul: Great! Just great, I don’t know what else to say really, it’s like a dream come true. I mean I wasn’t even selected for ROADIES 2 and now this, it all feels so cool.

MTV: Did you think you would win?
Parul: I was really happy just to be selected for the show, winning was a long way away but I had rated my chances as 50-50. Then when I had made it to the top 5, I rated myself as an 80-20. Finally when it was down to just the last three, I just had a feeling that I would win even though ROADIES is physically demanding and Rahul is much bigger and stronger than me.

MTV: Did you have a game plan?
Parul: No game plan as such. I just did my own thing. I tried not to react to stupid outburst, nor was I too keen on being in the limelight. I am totally not into the over doing the ‘cool attitude’ bit like Laveen and AJ. Even Stuti is aggressive and wants to be in the front at all the time. I just stayed back and played the game.

MTV: That tense moment; when Rahul has to decide and he picks your name first. How did that feel?
Parul: I couldn’t believe it. It was a bad sinking feeling, I mean I had come so close, I was almost there and now it’s all over. That was a scary feeling.

MTV: Did you and Rahul ever hook up?
Parul: No! Never!!!

MTV: What do you plan to do with the prize money?
Parul: Spend most of it on my post graduation and the rest on shopping and partying with my friends but I will spend most of the money higher studies.

MTV: What was your favourite task / worst task?
Parul: I really enjoyed the rappelling and monkey crawl task On the other hand the one at Churu where we had to drink that horrible juice and touch the wall; that has to be the worst task ever.

MTV: Is there anything that you would like to change for the show?
Parul: Ya! Maybe we should have hidden cameras as well since it is hard to get normal and natural while having a camera in front of your face.

MTV: Was there anyone whom you really didn’t want to vote out?
Parul: Krishnesh! I felt really bad when I did but I did what I had to do. It’s all a game at the end of the day.

MTV: Any words of advice for our future ROADIES?
Parul: For the girls – You’ll must know how to ride a bike, and be smart the boys aren’t that tough For the boys – None at all.
