Roadies's Gang Leader Karan Kundra has been replaced by VJ Nikhil Chinapa in its upcoming season. Karan is replaced because he got aggressive with two contestants during the auditions of Roadies and slapped one of them.
As per the sources, "Nikhil is being roped in to take Karan's place on 'Roadies Rising' due to clash in schedules of the journey shoot and Karan's other prior commitments."
Added by the source, "When Karan was on the off-site in Los Angeles with the team, he spoke about having to give the 'Roadies' journey a miss this year due to some other engagements that he had to honour."
Nikhil will now join as one of the gang leader on Roadies alongside Rannvijay Singha, Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula and cricketer Harbhajan Singh.
