SHAMBHVI SHARMA JUMPS IN BOLLYWOOD


Shambhavi Sharma, a finalist on MTV's reality show 'Roadies' who was known for her flirtatious and cunning ways, has now stepped into Bollywood with 'The Little Godfather'.

The film, being produced by Ekta Kapoor and Suniel Shetty, was offered to Shambhavi while she was featuring in the fifth edition of MTV 'Roadies', an adventure reality show.

"I was offered the film during the second or third episode of 'Roadies' through MTV," Shambhavi said.

The 19-year-old law student was also selected to participate in the international leg of the show, but was voted out in its very first episode.

So how did the 'The Little Godfather' come her way?

"I was not expecting it at all, it just happened. I used to love facing the camera and now that I am doing it, I am very excited about it," she said.

Asked about her character and co-actor in the film, Shambhavi said she could divulge any details.

A self-confessed controversy queen, she feels she has become more confident after her stint in 'Roadies'.

"I used to be very shy before being a part of 'Roadies'. But after that, my whole perspective towards life has changed and I have also become more expressive," she said.

Shambhavi describes her experience in the show as "outstanding".

"'Roadies' is an awesome show. I enjoyed each and every bit of it."

She stole the limelight on the show for her conniving, forthright and flirtatious ways. She now proudly admits that it was her well-thought strategy.

"I don't gel very well with girls. So when I used to be with the boys, people started thinking wrong about me. Besides, yes, my scheming was a part of my strategy to survive in the show," she explained.

When Shambhavi returned to Mumbai, she realised that she had become a popular figure.

"When I came back, my friends and parents were very happy with the way I performed and people even started recognising me on the streets. I also signed a few autographs," she said excitedly.

Enjoy !!!

MTV ROADIES THEME SONG


I like u, gud looking log bahut dekhe,smart, intelligent log to bahut dekhe hai magar tujh jaisa boring aadmi aajtak nahi dekha.......

Ghar se hum chale bas ek backpack aur ek guitar,
paiso ki fikar nahi,bike pe hum sawaar,
raho ki hai khabar na manzil ka hai pata,
phir bhi chal diye,jane ab hoga kya

Jeet lenge aaj

Ghar se hum chale bas ek backpack aur ek guitar,
paiso ki fikar nahi,bike pe hum sawaar

Jeet lenge aaj

Gali sunna acha lagta hai na tujhe ,looks nahi personality bhi nahi u r not getting dude,u r just boring,yaar aisa kar tu bahut thak gaya hu apna gal zor se mere hath pe mar plz….bhag yaha se

Hai ye aadhi par cutting hai zindagi,
kal thi easy ab kathin hai zindagi,
ghar pe baithe dosto ko kya mila
hai safar ye manchalo ka silsila,
jane kaha lejayega, khwabo ka hai ye karawan,
jo chal sako tum bhi chalo yaaro,
apni hi dhun me main chala

Jeet lenge aaj

Teri personality bahut achi hai filmo me kyo nahi jata,achi heroine banega tu

Ab kisi bhi bat ka mujhe dar nahi,
mushkilo se hi to hai himmat meri,
khelni hai aakhri bazi yahi,
ab safar hi ban gayi manzil meri

Raste wahi rahi naye,rate wahi sapne naye,
jo hum chale chalte gaye yaro,chulo lenge hum aasman

Jeet lenge aaj
Jeet lenge aaj
Jeet lenge aaj
Jeet lenge aaj

Raghu To Judge Roadies With Twin Brother Rajiv


BIG SHOCKING NEWS FROM MTV ROADIES

EK TAKLA RAGHU TOH JHELA NAHI JATA THA
ISKA CLONE BHI AA GYA
AUR WOH BHI R SE MR. RAJEEV


YES MR. RAJEEV WELCOME TO ROADIES, AAPKI HE KAMI THI...HE HE LOLZZ


Season six of MTV Roadies promises many more twists, and twice as much of Raghu Ram as well

If you found one Raghu Ram a bit hard to take on MTV’s Roadies, there’s some bad news in store. On the sixth season of the dramatic adventure reality show Raghu’s identical twin Rajeev Laxman will join him to create even more hell for the contestants. “Every year we take the show to another level. This time we have upped the stakes even further,” smiles Raghu, the irreverent boss of the Roadies, and Associate VP, MTV shows. With the number of roadies increased to 20 and the prize money doubled to Rs 10 lakhs, contestants are in for hell Down Under with difficult tasks on the deadly terrains of Austalia and biting observations and sheer wrath from the Raghu-Rajeev duo.

Rajeev— who has been part of the casting process of the Roadies for the last four years— agreed to even turn bald for the show on Raghu’s insistence. Hard to tell the two apart, Rajeev will now be introduced to the viewers for the first time. “Roadies is not just about the money. It’s a badge that makes people discover a side to them that they didn’t even know of,” adds Rajeev, who appears to be almost as aggressive as his twin. “Actually I’m more violent and Raghu is more aggressive,” smiles Rajeev wickedly. “But we use these characteristics only to push the buttons of the contestants to get their reaction.”

But what really prompted them to bring the twist of the twins? “Over the past years people have started observing my behavioral pattern. So essentially, now with both of us appearing on the show, the contestants will not know who they are dealing with,” adds Raghu with a smile.

While it’s the curses and abuses by Raghu that have made contestants quake with fear and seethe in anger in the past, some of the past roadies have overcome it all and even found alternative careers in the course of it. While Rannvijay, Bani J and Ayushmann all became VJs on the channel, others like Ashutosh Kaushik went on to participate in Big Boss and Shambhavi Sharma has been roped in for a Suniel Shetty movie.

However, MTV Roadies— the only Indian format to be licensed abroad by the ARY Pakistan— will journey through every place from Great Barrier Reef to the Great Outback this year. “It’s a scientific fact that there are more ways of dying of natural causes in Australia than anywhere else in the world,” quips Ashish Patil, GM, MTV India. While their parameters to zero in on the tasks include dangerous topography, Patil agrees imbibing the local culture is as important. While there might be the Roadies Cheat Code DVD available in the market to crack the auditions, Raghu still warns, “Fakes not allowed. I don’t like people who plan. You need to be real and we’ll take it from there.”

If you thought it was Raghu walking in to twist things at Splitsvilla, MTV’s reality show about love, here’s a trivia —it was Rajeev. Expect the unexpected.

Tete-a-tete with your VJ


You won the first season of MTV Roadies. And since then, you've become a VJ and the host of Roadies. What made you audition for Roadies? And how did you become a VJ?

After graduation, I was all set to join the army in 2 months. My family has been in the Indian Army for 6 generations. My dad is a brigadier, my brother is in the navy. Then the Roadies auditions came along, and I thought about it - on one hand, I would have had a 40 year career set out before me, with no problems - housing, medical, everything would be set with the Army. And on the other hand, was MTV and the uncertainty that came along with auditioning. But my dad supported me. He didn't want me to regret it 20 years down the line.

Funnily enough, when I auditioned, and throughout Roadies, I just knew I would make it. Plus, it was the bike that motivated me to audition in the first place. I just really wanted to win the bike! Then after the show ended, I was pretty popular…people liked me. The MTV producers asked me to try Veejaying and not join the army. The liked the way I interacted with people. I was very camera shy, but I thought it would be fun. I think that was the hand of fate. I ended up in a totally different profession.

And as a child, what did you want to do?

I wanted to be a sports star - a basketball player. I wanted to get paid playing my favorite sport.

You've done a few films too? Do you plan to continue making movies?

Yes, I recently did Mumbai Cutting. And I have a couple of films lined up for this year. Once I became a VJ, I knew I'd be doing movies. I'm a very filmy person, as in, I watch a lot of movies; I'm a movie buff and a film critic.

So if you had to choose between MTV glory and Bollywood fame?

Done the former, waiting for the latter!

You mentioned you're a bike lover? When did the love start, and how many bikes do you own?

I'm crazy about bikes really. Everyone knows me as a biker. On my 1st birthday, I was given a tricycle. I rode it well! And by the time I was 8, I was teaching kids older than me how to ride cycles. By 14, I used to maro bikes from people…as in, ask them to let me ride. Then my dad bought me a bike - a Hero Honda Splendor. It's a Sports bike. I have a few other bikes - a Suzuki GSX 600, a Kawasaki Ninja, a 225 CC modified Hero Honda Karisma which I won on Roadies, a 50 CC Pocket bike and a Royal Enfield Bullet.

Do you play any sports apart from basketball? What do you do to maintain your body?

Yes, I'm a complete sportsman. I play all kinds of sports and I love outdoor activities. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. My adrenaline rush is being in the outdoors and doing something adventurous. That's the high that comes with Roadies - I try all the tasks myself. I play a lot of basketball. I like playing soccer in the rain, Table Tennis in the office. And I go to the gym to run once in a while, or when I'm doing Roadies.

Do you believe in God?

100%. I'm not religious but I believe I have a one to one connection with God. I imagine talking to someone. I love Gurunanak. I love any religious place. I find them very peaceful.

Who matters to you the most in your life?

My younger brother. My mum and my dad. And my friends too.

The perfect girl to you is someone who….

Well, beautiful or not, that girl needs to be confident and carry herself confidently. However beautiful she is, if she's dumb, she's dumb. If she's not stylish, it's okay. But don't wear things you end up looking silly in. That's what wannabes do. She should have a firm head over her shoulders. And needs to be spontaneous, because I am, I'm very adventurous.

Aids awareness is one of causes you support right?

Yes. But I also am involved with Fight Back, which is a network 18 initiative to fight against female oppression in every form. Raghu is also involved now.
