Elvish Yadav Opens Up About Constant Controversies: "It Affects Me..."

From winning 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' to navigating an unending swirl of controversies, YouTuber Elvish Yadav has seen fame in all its extremes. Whether it was his arrest under the Wildlife Act for allegedly sourcing snake venom for rave parties, being accused of attempted murder by fellow content creator Maxtern, or making headlines for his feud with YouTuber Abhishek Malhan (aka Fukra Insaan) over “negative PR"—Elvish's public life has been far from quiet.

Elvish Yadav On Dealing With Controversies:

Now, in a candid conversation with Pinkvilla, the internet star is finally speaking out about how these controversies have taken a toll on him.

“Of course it affects me," he confessed. “Roj sochta hoon, jo cheez kari nahi, woh cheez jhelni padd rahi hai. Sochta hoon itna famous hona gunaah ho gaya hai kya? Mere se bhi famous log hain, woh toh khush hain. Mere saath hi aisa kyu hai?"

"These Experiences Teach a Lot..."

Despite the mounting pressure, Elvish said he tries not to dwell too much. “Par phir sochta hoon ki sochke kya hi ho jayega? Experience life mein jitni jaldi aaye, aise tareeke se naa aaye, par mera aagaya. Bohot cheezein sikhata hai, aisa time aur experiences, jo ajeeb hote hain. Mein mature hogaya ab time se pehle shayad. Jo 4 saal baad hona tha, ab ho gaya."

"My Family Has Always Supported Me..."

The emotional impact isn't limited to him alone. Elvish revealed that the controversies also weigh heavily on his family. “Mere parivaar ne hamesha mera saath diya hai, lekin meri family usoolon wali hai. Unka maanna hai ki agar unka beta galat ho, toh woh uske saath kabhi nahi khade honge. Aur woh mere saath khade hain kyunki main galat nahi hoon. Thoda dukh hota hai jab aise jhoothe ilzaam lagaye jaate hain."

Despite the noise, Elvish continues to expand his footprint in the entertainment space. Most recently, his mentee Gullu (Kushal Tanwar) was crowned the winner of MTV Roadies: Double Cross, a win Elvish proudly celebrated. He's also currently featuring on Laughter Chefs Season 2, paired with actor Karan Kundrra.
