Prince Narula: The Truth (Roadies, Bigg Boss & One Last Chance)

December 2014, a Roadies X2 audition in Pune. A boy from Chandigarh blanks on one simple question, and the judge tells him to come back in a year or two. Then he gets 60 seconds. After those 60 seconds: Roadies X2, Splitsvilla 8, Bigg Boss 9 and, with Yuvika, Nach Baliye 9. This is the full story of Prince Narula: Mr Punjab and the Pune line, the almost-out audition beat by beat, seven months and three trophies, ten years on the Roadies gang-leader chair (and the finals his gang never won), what it cost in his own words, and Roadies Rebirth in 2026, where he now decides who gets the chance.
