Elvish Yadav's Indirect Dig At Maxtern Slap Controversy: "Woh AI Tha!"

YouTuber Elvish Yadav, currently hosting the reality dating show 'Engaged Season 2' alongside Jiya Shankar, premiered the show on Saturday, February 14. The series follows a group of young contestants seeking their soulmates after heartbreak.

Elvish Yadav's Hilarious Dig on the Controversy with Maxtern:

In the second episode, Elvish took a humorous dig at his 2024 slap controversy with Delhi-based YouTuber Sagar Thakur, aka Maxtern.

During the episode, former Splitsvilla contestant Nikhil Malik joined as a participant and played a fun game where he had to guess a prompt about a female contestant who had once slapped a co-contestant on the show. After Nikhil correctly identified her, Elvish jokingly remarked, “Violence is not the solution, khaas-kar thappad marna… Main in cheezon ke khilaaf hoon."

When the other contestants laughed at his comment, seemingly referring to the Maxtern controversy, he added, “Woh maine nahi maara, woh AI tha."

About Elvish Yadav And The Maxtern Controversy:

In 2024, Elvish sparked major controversy after he assaulted Maxtern. In a viral video, Elvish was seen approaching Maxtern at a garment shop and attacking him. Before Maxtern could react, Elvish allegedly began punching and kicking him, while several other men joined in.

Elvish and his group were seen throwing Maxtern to the floor, verbally abusing him, and repeatedly striking him with punches and slaps. An FIR was subsequently filed against Elvish. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner later apologised for his violent behaviour and clarified that Maxtern had allegedly threatened to burn him and his family alive.

Within days, however, the two described the incident as a “misunderstanding" and settled the fight with the intervention of Rajat Dalal.

For the unversed, Maxtern is currently appearing as a contestant on the reality show 'The 50', where he is often heard talking about Elvish.
