Karan Kundrra Reportedly Replacing Prince Narula on Roadies
Roadies is a popular TV reality show where famous people called Gang Leaders pick teams and compete in tough challenges.
Right now, everyone is talking about a new season called Roadies Season 21.
Some news reports say that an actor named Karan Kundrra might come back to the show as a Gang Leader.
If that happens, he would replace another Gang Leader named Prince Narula.
But nobody from MTV or Karan has confirmed this yet, so it is just a rumor.
Karan has been a Gang Leader on Roadies before, in seasons X2 and X4.
In 2017, he left the show early because he had other acting work.
Fans have different feelings about the news: some are excited, while others say Roadies belongs to Prince.
The new season does not have a start date yet, and the official list of Gang Leaders has not been announced.
For now, we just have to wait and see.
Reports claim Karan Kundrra is in talks with makers to replace Prince Narula as a Gang Leader on Roadies Season 21.
Neither MTV nor Karan Kundrra has officially confirmed the rumored lineup change.
Karan previously served as Gang Leader in Roadies X2 and X4 and returned for Roadies Rising in 2017 before exiting after the audition stage.
Fan reactions are mixed: some call it a good decision by MTV, while others say 'Roadies is known by Prince' and want the original Gang Leaders back.
Roadies Season 21 has no official premiere date; Prince Narula, Neha Dhupia, Rhea Chakraborty, Elvish Yadav and Rajat Dalal are among the speculated names.
