MTV Elovator Pitch is hosted by Cyrus Sahukar and Gaelyn Mendonca.
With the supreme court decriminalising same-sex relationship, MTV Elovator Pitch will present a special episode with only gay contestants. This is for the first time on Indian television that the LGBTQ community will be openly engaging in a dating reality show. The series is hosted by Cyrus Sahukar and Gaelyn Mendonca.
Expressing his excitement on the same, host Cyrus in a statement said, “On Elovator Pitch, it only makes sense to have an episode with people from the LGBTQ Community. At the end of the day, it deals with people meeting others, dating and love. Eventually, love and dating are pretty similar for everyone. Everybody is looking for someone they like and can enjoy with.”
Co-host Gaelyn added, “With this special concept, we have upped the ante as India’s first dating reality show to have people from all walks of life coming and exploring beautiful bonds. Elovator Pitch brings with it a heavy dose of comedy and love and I’m sure this episode will be a treat to watch for the audience. I’m proud to be a part of the show that is creating history on national television.”
This week’s episode of #ElovatorPitch is super special.
