Raghu Ram was the former judge on the MTV show ‘Roadies’. He said he was “fed up” with the show and walked away. In a recent interview with IndiaToday.in, the producer-actor disclosed that ‘Roadies’ had a significant impact on his personal and physical life.

In the same interview, the producer-actor expressed his belief that the ‘show was over’ on the day he and his twin brother, Rajiv Lakshman, exited the show.

Raghu Ram recently spoke to India Today and shared that his married life was affected. He said, “Personally, my life was going through a lot of upheaval because of Roadies and because of the surrounding craze. My marriage was suffering. Ultimately, I got divorced. My mental health, my physical health and everything else was just crazy. I needed to take a step away. So I stopped, and I’m glad I did. Not one day have I regretted walking away.”

Raghu adds he was “done,fed up” with the show and walked away at the peak of it. He shared that MTV wanted to make the show a certain way which he did not agree with. He also added that the channel wanted a “certain populist kind of angle to it”.

Raghu by talking about his return to the show, said, “No, not going to happen. We were asked, but no, I don’t want to. I haven’t seen Roadies ever since I left. It is not ‘that’ Roadies now. It is a completely different show with the name Roadies on it. The format can be compared more to the voice than to the previous Roadies. When Rajiv and I walked away that day, that show was over. That particular format was over.”

MTV Roadies is a youth based reality show, which was launched on August 15,2003 and was aired on MTV India. Raghu and Rajiv was the producer of the show and had anchored the show for MTV. The have left the show on 2014. The show was co-hosted by Cyrus Sahukar, Rannvijay, Bani J and Sonu Sood.
