Sonu Sood opens up about his Roadies experience
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 17 2022]
Actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood is currently busy hosting the popular reality 'Roadies: Journey To South Africa'. Sonu took on this responsibility after the departure of Rannvijay Singha, who was associated with the show for about 17 years. In a recent media interaction, the actor shared that it wasn't easy for him to replace Rannvijay.
Sonu told IANS, When I was approached for the show, there were many things in my mind. Whether I will be able to carry on the legacy of this show and I will be able to speak to the contestants. I thought it’s not my cup of tea.”
He further added, Then I thought about the concept of this show. As a host my responsibility is to keep the soul of ‘Roadies’, repackage it and make it a very positive and inspiring journey. After shooting for 40-45 days in South Africa I realised that I connected with the ex as well as new roadies and it was like a family reunion.”
Sharing his experience of working on the show, Sonu said, I am really able to connect with all the Roadies. Spending so much time together. You have seen them grow and change, away from families with no money and isolated places in tents and different locations and in tough conditions also so I think that brings the real roadie.”
