A show synonymous to adventure and thrill did live up to every bit of it in the year 2020! As startling and uncertain as the year was, it taught all of us to fight through the challenges and stand united in the face of a horrifying reality. Amidst the hurdles, the troop stood strong and marched ahead to continue the momentum and reach the finish line. It would be safe to say that the Roadies Revolution, has indeed stirred a revolution. As the 17th edition is all set to witness an entertaining finale on 16th January, we take a look back at some of the moments that made the journey worthwhile!

The shoot halted mid-way due to the imposed lockdown in March, the Roadies Fam commenced the journey online with the first-ever digital auditions in the history of Roadies and took the entertainment quotient a notch higher. The three-month-long online auditions had the audience hooked on to their mobile screens and root for their favourite contestants. Another event that was added to the list of firsts was the entry of Varun Sood, stepping into the shoes of Raftaar and debuting as a leader in Roadies and became an absolute favourite of contestants and other leaders alike. While some of the fights and conflicts did change equations and effect the relationship, what stood out was unconditional love and a heroic display of friendship, like Zabi exchanging places with Abhimanyu at the vote outs and Vipin handing the star to Jayant in the semi finale task. This made everyone emotional during the last leg of the journey.

Keeping up with the spirit of this year's theme, the leaders and contestants were also seen spreading smiles with some social deed tasks where they cooked mid-day meal for the abandoned kids of leprosy-affected parents, made dung cakes for the Kunao Village and helped with the installation of Solar Panels, ploughed the lands in Rupnagar and helped IIT Ropar's students by investing in the Stubble removing machine. Apart from strength and mind power, this season kept its focus on the revolution every leader and contestant was stirring to make a small yet a significant difference.

The icing on the cake, hands down, has been our OG Roadie and the heartthrob Ayushmann Khurana giving a shout-out to Season 17 and reminisced his good old days! All setup and geared for the finale, here's what our celebrity leaders Varun Sood and Prince Narula have to say on the journey:

Varun Sood shared in a media interaction, "From bountiful of love and laughter to emotional upheavals, I've seen it all in Roadies Revolution. Even though I entered the game mid-way, I felt like home in no time with so much warmth and affection from everyone on the show. This has been one of the most intense seasons and all of us have worked really hard to make every moment worthwhile. For the first time as a leader, it was fun yet challenging for me and I hope I've been able to do justice to my role. I'm sure the Roadies fans are looking forward to the finale as much as I am."

Prince Narula also stated, "Like I always say, Roadies has always been an emotional ride for me and it feels amazing to see the 17th edition of the show nearing a finale. We've all come together with a long way and the road ahead is going to be equally exciting. Even though I was missing in action for some time, it was because of the love and support of all my fellow leaders, team and my fans, that I made a stronger comeback. We continue to roar and give our best in the finale. May the best Roadie win!"
