The Roadies pipeline: winners who arrived with a title already
Read this list next to the Roadies one and a pattern appears that neither page shows on its own. Five Splitsvilla winners came through MTV Roadies first, and for years the two shows shared a host in Rannvijay Singha, which is the mechanism behind it.

- Baseer Ali was runner-up on Roadies Rising in 2017 and won Splitsvilla 10 with Naina Singh the same year.
- Hamid Barkzi won Roadies Revolution in 2020, then Splitsvilla X4.
- Jashwanth Bopanna was a Roadies runner-up in the 2022 South Africa season, then won Splitsvilla X5 in 2024.
- Kushal Tanwar won Roadies Double Cross in 2025 and Splitsvilla X6 in 2026, the fastest turnaround of the five.
Prince Narula remains the outlier even in this company: no other contestant on Indian television has won four different reality formats.
Who has hosted MTV Splitsvilla
The hosting chair has turned over more than the format has, and one name dominates the modern run.
