Raghu said, “So, I have finished shooting for Roadies Season 2. The shoot ended at Wagga border and I was coming to Mumbai via Delhi and at that time the first season of this thing was being shot. My girlfriend at that time then became my wife, now my ex-wife, was working as part of the team.”
Raghu further added, “So I went there and at that time I had this reputation of being a hot-headed and deadly boy like you’ll tell me, so these guys said hey man you’ve come why don’t you go and pick up a fight with the judges. I said why would I do that, I like them, at least some of them. And they said no man, people are crying and coming out and they said you go and fight with them it’ll be fun. I said for whom? Then Sugandha said, "Do it, do it and I said for you, I’ll do it.”
