MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 - the baap of all rides meets its end at Kuala Lumpur and Ashutosh Kaushik, the seedha-saadha village boy was declared the ultimate Roadie!

The exhilarating journey which began with a big bang in Goa finishes off with an explosion in Malaysia where the most laid-back no non-sense guy turned out to be one of the ultimate schemers of MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0.

This small town 'dhaba-wala' went through three rounds of auditions in Delhi, Lucknow and finally Jaipur where he was chosen on account of his astounding ape-like antics.

The simpleton thought airports had platforms and was unsure whether he'd get food on the flight! Along with the Thai-boxing escapade he was the only Roadie who got away with not eating the nauseating oriental fare.

Love at first sight was just a village fairy tale till he set his eyes on fellow Roadie, Sonel! So at the end of it, third-time-lucky Aashu had first-hand luck all the way.

Even though he wore his heart on his sleeve, his mind was on the game and feet on the ground, showing true Roadie spirit all through the journey!

Says Ashish Patil, General Manager MTV India and VP Creative & Content, "After a 16 week long grueling journey full of action, adventure, fights, betrayals, drama, accidents, romance, jealousy across 3 countries – MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 reached its climax.

Where two friends fought it out to find the last Roadie standing. This has by far been the most explosive season of Roadies!"

Comments an ecstatic Aashu, "Roadies ne mujhe joh sikhaya hai woh mein apni puri zindagi mein nahi seekh paata. Duniya ki sair bhi ho gayi aur naye dost bhi ban gaye!"

The Roadies have come a long way with the hard-hitting reality of dangerous tasks and even more dodgy contestants.

Every vote-out was a bitch-fest, filled with back-stabbing and lying. In the midst of all the bogus comradeships and phony flirt-trips there did surface friendships, bhaicharis and a whole lot of love stories!
