As MTV Roadies Double Cross inches closer to its dramatic finale, the game has taken an explosive twist that no one saw coming. In episode 39, aired on 24 May 2025, fans witnessed Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu from Gang Gautam emerging as the first finalist by winning the high-stakes Ticket to Finale task. But what happened later that night in the Double Cross tent has left fans buzzing with questions and speculations.
Here’s everything you need to know about the latest shocker, what the Double Cross twist really means, and what Gullu’s bold move could cost him.
What Happened in Episode 39?
After completing a near-perfect performance in the Ticket to Finale task, Gullu was called to the mysterious Double Cross tent, a secret place where major game-changing decisions are made. Awaiting him was the show’s iconic host Rannvijay Singha, who revealed an unexpected and high-risk offer.
The offer? A chance to Double Cross someone very close — for a major advantage in the Grand Finale task.
Who Does Gullu Have to Double Cross?
According to insider reports, the twist is as personal as it gets. Gullu’s Double Cross target isn’t another contestant — it’s his own Gang Leader, Gautam Gulati.
Yes, you read that right.
To accept Rannvijay’s offer, Gullu must leave Gang Gautam — the very Gang that trusted him, supported him, and with whom he won the ticket to the finale. In return, Gullu will join Gang Elvish, led by Elvish Yadav, who was previously his Gang leader in earlier episodes of the show.
Did Gullu Accept the Offer?
Surprisingly — or perhaps not, given Gullu’s intense competitive streak — he accepts the Double Cross.
Gullu decides to switch alliances and makes the bold move of leaving Gang Gautam to join Gang Elvish, hoping that this leap will boost his chances of winning the grand finale task. This is arguably the most controversial moment of the season, and it’s already dividing fan opinions online.
What Happens Next?
While the full fallout will unfold in episode 40 on 25 May 2025, there are two big reactions fans are eagerly waiting to see:
1. Gautam Gulati’s Reaction:
How will the otherwise calm and composed Gang Leader handle the betrayal from his most trusted Roadie? Gautam was seen putting a lot of faith in Gullu in recent episodes — will this sting push him into a strategic rage, or will he choose to stay silent?
2. Elvish Yadav’s Response:
Elvish, known for his sharp wit and street-smart gameplay, will likely welcome Gullu with open arms — but will there be conditions? After all, Gullu was once a member of Gang Elvish and left — so is this a reunion or just another risky alliance?
Why This Twist Changes Everything
This isn’t just another gang switch. The Double Cross adds a whole new layer of strategy. Gullu, now the only finalist, has flipped the power structure of the game. By switching Gangs, he not only earns a game advantage, but also shakes the trust dynamics among Roadies and leaders alike.
Whether this twist leads him to glory or isolates him before the finale will depend on how the rest of the game plays out — and who still trusts him.
