MTV’s Roadies XX Double Cross has never been a stranger to controversy, but this time, 22-year-old Prithvir Singh has stirred the pot like never before. The Delhi-based actor’s refusal to cross-dress during a task has ignited a fiery debate across social media and reality TV circles. While the judges, including Rannvijay Singha, Prince Narula, Neha Dhupia and Rhea Chakraborty bashed him for his refusal to cross-dress during a task, netizens are praising him for his firm stand, citing the importance of self-respect and personal values. Now, let’s take a look at Prithvir who became a sensation overnight despite not being selected in the show.
During a recent episode of Roadies XX, contestants were asked to don outfits for cross-dressing. Prithvir, who failed to impress the judges with his dance moves, was asked to wear a pair of women’s heels for the challenge. While other contestants were happy to participate in the challenge, Prithvir decided against it. He remained rigid in his decision to forego the task, shocking the judges.
Rannvijay, who had offered the heels to Prithvir, stood with a shocked expression while his co-judge, Prince Narula asked whether his stance was a refusal to embrace the show’s adventurous spirit or just a bold example of sticking to one’s principles. Prithvir refused to back down, and his polite yet firm stance shocked co-judges, Neha Dhupia and Rhea Chakraborty. When they could not make him cross-dress, they did not select him for the show.
Prithvir is a 22-year-old model and actor who hails from Paschim Vihar, Delhi. He was born on September 19, 2002 and stands at a height of 5’8”. Despite being a young talent, Prithvir has been gaining attention in the entertainment industry for his principles and unwavering commitment to his values. His brief stint on MTV Roadies XX Double Cross was enough to make him popular overnight, and he even started a new trending hashtag on social media, #SelfRespectAboveAnything.
Prithvir has gained popularity on social media, with people leaving supportive comments on his recent posts. His IG post from two days ago was flooded with comments such as “You gained our respect” and “Hope you achieve lots of success”. Many even criticised Rannvijay for throwing the heels at Prithvir and not being respectful towards him. One user penned:

Not everyone is an extrovert, and this world is for everyone. All the best.”
In an interview after the show, Prithvir was asked about the incident for which he kept his unapologetic stance. Talking about self-respect and personal values, he remarked:
“It’s not about the task or the competition—it’s about who I am as a person. Staying true to myself matters more than winning a challenge.”
