“This is what happens when you give gundas a platform,” one user commented. Another added, “Yeah, like the best thing we can do is stop giving them attention because that’s what they thrive on. Ye desh ka yuva kis kisko idol bana leta hai. Pathetic.”
“Elvish being the duffer he is,” wrote another user. “How can a chapri like him have fans? and who is he interviewed by, a Gunda,” read another comment.
Another comment highlighted the struggles faced by actors from Northeast India, stating, “We hardly have NE actors and actresses. For those who make it, to hear such things on platforms who are irresponsible on another level must be soul-crushing.”
Following the backlash, Elvish Yadav removed the controversial statement from his YouTube channel.
A History of controversies
This isn’t the first time Elvish Yadav has been embroiled in controversy. During Bigg Boss OTT 3 last year, he made headlines for issuing an open threat to fellow contestant Sai Ketan Rao. Additionally, his name has surfaced in connection with the Noida Snake Venom case, further keeping him in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
