Being an Assamese, Vivek has been often addressed as ‘Chinki’, ‘Hakka Noodles’ and ‘Made In China’ by people in north India. He expressed his discontent and said, “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.” He further stated to Vivek, “You have come on the right platform and I am glad that you have spoken about this issue.”
