Elvish Yadav Defends Divyanka Tripathi:

“Guys, I don't use social media much & I'm confused about why people are trolling Divyanka. But guys, she's super chill & deserves respect! My request: please stop trolling her. Let's spread kindness instead," he wrote.

"Sending You Back Tons of Love..."

Divyanka also reacted to Elvish's post and wrote, “Hey Elvish! Sending you back tons of love.  Also, hugs to the fans who have been spreading the word not to take the troll route. Someday, I'll narrate to you how it all unfolded and we'll have a good laugh about it!"

About the Controversy:

For the unversed, Divyanka appeared on 'Laughter Chefs 2' recently, where she mistook Elvish for Samarth Jurel during introductions on stage. The moment saw her shaking hands with Elvish and saying, “Hi Samarth," which left Aly Goni, Krushna Abhishek, and others laughing. Realizing her mistake, Divyanka immediately apologized and even joked that the part should be edited out to avoid trolling by Yadav's fans.

Unfortunately, her prediction came true. After the episode was aired, Elvish's fans expressed disappointment and slammed the actress.

Therefore, on Tuesday, Divyanka commented under one of her posts, calling out the hate, while also thanking genuine fans. “I want to thank genuine Elvish fans for being nice. True fans, first, keep their idol's respect in mind. Double thanks to the trollers for increasing my engagement (sic)," she wrote.

“My inner systumm automatically bounces back your foul language to you and your family. Karma! Those being nice shall always be blessed…says my core divinity! (sic)," the actress added.
