Vivek Bora of ‘Gangs of North East’ fame has been selected for Mtv Roadies Xtreme.
Bora auditioned for the show at Kolkata where he impressed the gang leaders and secured a spot in this season of Roadies.
During Kolkata auditions, Bora shared his experience of racial remarks just because he is from the Northeast. Being an Assamese, he has been often addressed as ‘Chinki’, ‘Hakka Noodles’ and ‘Made In China’ by people in North India. He expressed his discontent saying, “We don’t like it when people call us by these names. Do they not know that we are very much a part of this country as they are?”
An enraged Rannvijay immediately pointed out that this year, Roadies is going to be shot in the picturesque location of the North East. Condemning such issues Rannvijay said, “We love the North East and we do not feel that it’s different from any other part of our country. People who have such petty thinking are stupid.”
Impressed by Vivek’s skills in the various tasks, rapper Raftaar couldn’t stop from dedicating few lines for him, “Neechi soch jinki hai woh bolte tujhe chinki hain. Unki zindagi ki kamai utni hai jitni teri akele ki kamai hai”
Vivek Bora’s role in the Gangs of North East created a buzz in the State and beyond, not long back. Vivek started his modelling career at a very early age. He won his first title, the title of Saundarjya Mr. Assam in 2012, after which his modelling career came to a halt due to board exams. He again started modelling in 2014 when he went on to becoming the 2nd Runner up in Mega Mr. Northeast.
After winning the title, he stepped foot in the entertainment industry by doing shows in different parts of Northeast. He has featured in multiple music videos including ‘Hiyare Dolisa’ and ‘O Seni Mai’.
