By 2016, MTV Roadies was no longer only about surviving difficult tasks and vote-outs. The gang format had turned the show into a contest of leadership as well, with established Roadies personalities building teams and trying to take their contestants all the way to the finale. Roadies X4: Your Gang, Your Glory pushed that idea further with four competing gangs and a journey that moved through India and Bhutan.
The season produced a memorable comeback champion. Balraj Singh Khehra, representing Karan Kundrra’s gang, eventually lifted the title after reaching the finale alongside Gaurav Alugh and Navdeesh Arora. Navdeesh was recorded as the runner-up, while Gaelyn Mendonca served as presenter. Here is a complete look at the MTV Roadies Season 13 winner, runner-up, host, contestants, release date, gang leaders and finale details.
