Fans of the reality show 'MTV Roadies' were shocked when Rannvijay Singha announced that he is going to leave the show before its upcoming season. Ever since its inception in 2003, Rannvijay has been attached to the show in one way or the other but he will now be replaced by actor and youth icon, Sonu Sood. Actress Neha Dhupia, who appears as a judge on the show, recently stated that it is heartbreaking to watch Rannvijay leave.

She told The Indian Express, "It breaks my heart, for sure. I am very fond of him. I spent half a decade on the show. I know Sonu is filling in for him. He is a very dear friend as well. I know he would do a great job. But… ah! Cannot explain how this feels. I think, one of the reasons why I used to watch Roadies before becoming a part of it was Rann. And I loved all the time I have spent with him. I am almost emotional saying it. But it is what it is. I am sure Sonu will be great as well. Onwards and upwards."

On the other hand, Sonu Sood is super excited to begin this new journey. In an earlier statement, he had said, "MTV Roadies depicts the phenomenal spirit of the youth, who dare to challenge their limits. The new season is going to be high on adrenaline and adventure and will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. The show comes with an infectious energy; something that’ll inspire me at every step to push my limits as well. I am thrilled to host the upcoming season and take the contestants through this South African expedition."
