Delhiite Ankita Sehgal was one of the contestants of MTV Roadies 5, the adventure
reality show. Though she was eliminated on February she returned to the show in
April. But she was finally eliminated on May 10. Unfortunately Ankita was not
liked by her co-contestants and was treated like an outsider, Ankita did manage
togather enough interest for the audiences due to her aggressive and forthright
behaviour. Tellychakkar met up with the recently eliminated
Ankita to know about her experiences on the show and much more. What
was you experience in Roadies 5?
Well it was a great journey for me.
I didn’t really expect that I would do something so weird in my life. It has given
me confidence and I’m happy that I was part of MTV Roadies 5. Which
was the most difficult task in the show? I think the one where we all
had to eat the worms. I could not believe that I can eat or will eat such bizzare
food even for money. It was difficult to gulp all those worms but somehow I managed.
Lastly when it came to eating snakes with all the skin and bones everybody gave
up. I was looking at their faces and when I saw that nobody was going ahead I
too gave up. Tell us about Sonel. She was your friend so why
didn’t you receive support from her? It was only towards the end when
amongst the girls only Sonel and I were left. I got immunity so I made Sonel my
friend as I don’t gel well with both Ashu and Nihal. There was nothing as concrete
friendship but just that she was much better than the other two. Basically
Sonel cannot become anybody’s friend; she was not a friend to Prabhjot too. Sonel
always thought that I’m an outsider and she even said that if possible she would
like to throw me out of the show. What about Prabhjot? She
was never my friend. The only reason for her being with me was she wanted to break
the chain of Sonel, Ashu and Nihal and thus she tried to use me. While leaving
the show all of us had seen how Probhjot behaved with me. I know one thing that
on this show nobody is a friend. It’s a game and only one can be the winner.
You performed well in the given task but still you were eliminated? Obliviously,
as I told you I was an outsider for all three of them. It was all politics and
nothing else. They could have easily performed but they didn’t. The Trios (Sonel,
Ashu, Nihal) were aware that even if they don’t perform well they’ll save each
other and throw me out and they did. I was big competition for them and now when
I’m out they are happy. Who do you think will win Roadies 5? To
be frank enough nobody from them is eligible to win the Roadies. If it is all
about being a politician then definitely Ashu is the winner. He is into big time
politics with Sonel and Nihal. He has trapped Sonel in an emotional drama and
Nihal is like his mouthpiece. These two act weird but the master mind behind Sonel
and Nihal is Ashu. I remember Ashu, Sonel and Nihal coming to me and asking who
I’d vote out that evening. These three are best buddies but now I want to see
who’s next in the elimination. If given chance to go back who
will you eliminate? Taking out any one person will not help as it won’t
make any difference but yes I would like them to know who a true Roadie is.
What’s your next plan of action? Well till now I haven’t got
any TV offers. I’m looking out for ramp modelling or still photography modelling.
