Confrontation
Accused of using foul language on a TV show
In 2011, some Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists in Pune blackened Raghu Ram, Rajiv Laxman and Ranvijay Singh’s TV show ‘MTV Roadies’ for using offensive language. During the protest, when ABVP spokesperson Shailendra Dalvi was asked about the protest, she said:
We strongly object to the foul language used by Raghu in his show MTV Roadies. It has a bad influence on the youth. He is trying to attract the youth, but the youth of this country will only face degradation if they follow the likes of him. Even small children cannot stop watching unpleasant shows. His every sentence is mixed with controversial words. He makes young people do silly stunts like kissing strangers. What will happen to Indian culture if this continues?”

And my father, who was in Mhow, Indore, told me that if I get admission in Hansraj College, he would be very proud. Without being in DU he knew about Hansraj. And little did I know that this college would actually change my life. When I came here for the sports exams, MP Sharma sir selected me. Then he asked me, “Kaun sa course karna hai?” I said, “Sabse zyada cut-off kiski hai?” BCom (Hons) ki thi and I did this course. “

I love doing shows where I’m part of the creative team and I’m a judge.
