Roadies Season 19 has been making headlines since the day it was announced. Apart from Prince Narula, two new judges, namely Bigg Boss Season 8 winner Gautam Gulati and Rhea Chakraborty, were also introduced on the panel by the show’s host Sonu Sood. However, rifts between Prince and Rhea, and Prince and Gautam, were quite evident since Day 1. During Roadies' auditions, they were often seen passing derogatory remarks and humiliating each other, even in front of the contestants.

In a recent interview, Gautam Gulati made several shocking revelations, one of them being that he decided to quit the show. In a conversation with ETimes TV, Gulati said, “The problem was not from our side or from my team. We are very profession people, but when that happened, everybody was shocked - 'why is he taking a dig at me and always misbehaving' Given the fact that I am so senior than this guy and have been working for such a long time... I didn't want somebody to lose work because of me, so I was leaving at that time."

Salman Khan Acted As Peacemaker Between Prince Narula and Gautam Gulati

Gautam told the publication, “Salman sir ko bhi pata lag gaya tha iss bare mein ki kuch aisa aisa hua hai set par. He first called me. I told him what everything that I'm quitting as I don't want to take away his job. I'm representing you, I work under your agency, and I don't think we are doing anything wrong, it's better we leave, because we are not at fault.”

“Salman sir called me back in 15 seconds and told me 'Kal Subah Woh call karega tujhe' maine samjha diya usse acche se... pyaar se.. ab Dono mil ke raho pyaar se acche se. ..shoot karo... but the funny part is he didn't stop. It happened again,” he further noted.

'I Have Always Believed In Mutual Respect': Prince Narula

Later, in a chat with Indian Express, former Roadies winner, Prince Narula said, “Unko mujhe samajhne mein, and mujhe unhe samajhne mein time laga. This is just a show for them but it’s an emotion for me."

"Earlier, we would have the worst of fights but no one got personal. We were so involved that we would get loud but that never meant we were disrespectful towards each other. The new ones on the show would take time to adapt to the format and the personalities. However, I have always believed in mutual respect, and would do so. Baaki unko samajhna padega yeh show hai kya," he further noted.
