Sonu Sood during the audition with her passion, determination, and endurance. She described
Haryana's poor awareness and education system, as well as a lack of chances.
Neerja stated that the transgender population is treated like beggars in Haryana and that there is no information about it.
She stated that she uses social media to raise awareness about transgender issues. Neerja successfully completed all of the offline audition stages.
Neeraj is a runway model who is in her early twenties. The Roadies contestant hails from Haryana. Neeraj transformed herself despite facing severe traumatic prejudices. She dreams to walk for
Lakme Fashion Week and has turned the world into her ramp.
Neeraj had shared reels from different public spots in Delhi and Haryana where she shot her fashion walk and revealed that she dreams to collaborate with the biggest Lakme Fashion Week as the showstopper. Roadies have surely taken her a step closer to her dreams.
