When the portal contacted Rannvijay Singha over his decision of quitting Roadies, he said, "The channel has been a key pillar of my journey and I'll be doing interesting work with them. On this edition of Roadies, things didn't work out from both sides. Our dates were not matching and it is disheartening," he shared. Clarifying that there were no issues with the production house, Singha mentioned, "I've been working with the channel for 18 years. I've done different shows with the network. Production house aur mera koi taal mel hai nahi."

Talking about Rannvijay Singha, the actor won the first season of Roadies and from the second season, he has been hosting the show till the 18th season. For some seasons, he was the leader, while in the last three seasons, he acted as the mentor. Well, his exit from Roadies is indeed a big shock for the aspiring contestants as he has always been a big inspiration for many youngsters.
