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.”
