Raghu: Yes, but only to bullies. So many sweet people come and go; we don't do anything to them. Especially women. But if you say something like, 'Oh, I use and throw women,' I'm going to lose it.

Bullying is about being alpha males. In that room, we are the alpha males. And I do know some techniques of intimidation. When I was a kid and getting pounded, I was also taking notes (laughs).

Rajeev: See, a bully doesn't need reason on his side. He also doesn't engage in conversation. He is violent and will pick on weaker people. When people see a pattern in our behaviour, it's because we are intolerant towards intolerance and we bully bullies.

On the other hand, we are very sensitive towards women. We don't have any point to prove, nor do we carry a chip on our shoulders. But if four people have ganged up against one injured girl, we will meet them at their level and surpass them! Whenever we shout and are aggressive, we always give reasons for doing that. If a guy tells us he has six girlfriends and he uses and throws them, we will bully him, and tell him why too!

Any tips for future, aspiring contestants?

Rajeev: Don't approach the auditions like a job interview, be yourself and don't try too hard.

Raghu: Just be original, be interesting -- have an interesting conversation with us, wear some deodorant and nice clothes and speak in Hindi!

See, we're older now and not as patient as we used to be. We can't keep listening to the same shit over and over. Next time I think I'll carry a bat with me!

What are the changes that a show like Roadies brings about in the contestants' personalities?

Rajeev: Roadies is a life-changing experience. Some people become household names. Take Ashutosh, for instance. Who else would have cast a Saharanpur dhaba kind? Only we did -- and look at him. Roadies provides a platform to show one's potential.

Intense experiences like the ones the Roadies go through are bound to shape you and change you in ways that others won't be able to relate to. But you will definitely change.

Raghu: You cannot go through an experience as intense as Roadies without going through some amount of introspection and analysis of yourself. By and large, we see people coming out of the experience more confident. But sometimes, some people's confidence gets shattered too.

What are your future plans?

Rajeev: I don't know. I want to make a movie someday. There is no plan. I'm a Django who packs up just because!

Raghu: I'm so tired! I want to go to the Himalayas for six months and write my book and some songs. Look at me -- I look like a panda that belongs in a zoo! I work 7 days a week, 20 hours a day! I hate reality TV and what it does to me.

Caption: Raghu and Rajiv do what they do best -- get tough with the contestants on Roadies.
