Raghu Ram was a DU Dropout
Do you know that Raghu Ram, the senior supervising producer at MTV India and the executive producer of the show MTV Roadies is a Delhi University dropout?
Raghu, whose on-screen behaviour attracts strong reactions (of criticism and appreciation alike), is most known for frequent outbursts of harsh language and scathing criticism directed at participants of the shows he judges.
When Raghu Ram and his identical twin brother Rajiv were studying at the Delhi University, their teachers predicted that they both have no future and would sell bananas on the streets.
“Our teachers used to tell us ‘Tum dono toh kele (bananas) bechoge, kele’,” says Raghu.
In retrospect, they laugh at the idea and even express their anger towards the prevalent education system. “Is it justified to brand a student as a failure, just ’coz he hasn’t scored 90 per cent marks?” asks Raghu. And then, sometimes 90 per cent is also not good enough! “The cut-offs suggest you are good only if you’ve scored above 95 per cent. If students are branded on the basis of the marks they’ve scored, it will ruin their future. The education system needs to be changed… marks are not just the be all and end all of student life. There’s more to their individual personalities than just academics,” he emphaises.
Raghu was a student of the Deshbandhu College in the first year. In the second year, he joined Venky. And what about the third year? He didn’t sit for the third year at all, and both brothers dropeed out of the college.

Hi Raghu,
First of all, i would like to thank you for creating such a wonderful creative show. Just by looking at roadies auditions, i am able to evaluate myself. this is awesome. we get a lot to learn from the show itself.

abe sale tu khud failure hai aur logon ko failure kehta hai. Show main chikhne se koi sher nahi ban jata. Samjha. Being i drop out u don feel ashamed before discouraging people about their academics.

abe uble hue ande,tu dimag se ganza hai..
Cheap publicity ke liye abusive language use
Karta hai…tu society ka bacteria hai jo gandgi
faila raha hai..kaya kha kar paida kia tha tughe?
Sara hua tamatar hai tu,attitude ki baat tere
gandi zaban se acchi nai lagti..kacra failana band
Karrrrrr..

i guess people who have abused them are already showing how much they are frustrated by Raghu and Rajiv’s success.
its very easy to abuse others but its difficult to achieve the sucess and still sustain at the top…..and both raghu and rajiv have done that….you losers have got no right to abuse them….
lol
June 26th, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Even being a dropout Raghu has succeded in life. The assholes who have abused him are the biggest losers and evidently shit eaters.

Hello Raghu…
good thing about you is that you are using the same words to teach these people which they use for others…
most of them use abuses in their daily life, but when they hear from some one (like you ) they cannot digest it..
I think, you are doing great job.. and also screwing people who don’t respect girls/woman..
after watching your auditions… me too feel like becoming a Roadie, but not in a TV show, in my daily life… because that what finally matters…….. ( I am the participant and I am the judge)
