WATCH: Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav slaps a man at restaurant, defends saying ‘Aisa hi hoon main’

In a startling incident, Elvish Yadav, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, found himself amid controversy. A video of him involved in an altercation at a Jaipur restaurant went viral. The video captured the YouTuber in a heated brawl, culminating in him slapping a man before storming out of the establishment. The incident unfolded in front of shocked onlookers and was quickly circulated on social media platforms, drawing widespread attention.

Following the incident, Elvish Yadav released an audio statement to provide his perspective on the altercation. He asserted that he resorted to physical action because the other party had directed abusive language towards him.

In the audio clip, Elvish expressed his disinterest in confrontations and physical altercations, emphasising that he prefers to keep a low profile and focus on his work. However, he clarified that he doesn’t tolerate personal insults, and his reaction was a response to derogatory remarks directed at him.

He said, “Bhai, dekho, matter ye hai, naa mujhe shauk hai ladai karne ka, naa mere ko haath uthane ka shauk hai. Main apne kaam se kaam rakhta hoon. Main chalta hoon normal. Aur jo photo khichwane ko kehta hai, hum kichwate hai aaram se photo. Par, jo koi piche se comment pass karta hai, usko nahi bakshte (I am not interested in fighting or slapping someone). I click photos with whoever asks, but if you make a personal remark, I don’t spare them either,” Elvish said in a video.

“I don’t have any regrets,” says Elvish Yadav

Elvish defended his actions, stating that the presence of police and commandos during the incident indicated that he had not engaged in any wrongdoing. He maintained that the altercation was a personal matter, and he reacted in a manner true to his character when faced with abusive language. Elvish’s unapologetic stance suggested that he stood by his actions and had no regrets about the way he handled the situation.

“As you can see, there were police and commandos with us. It’s not that we’ve done anything wrong. This was personal. He took a personal dig at me; I went and slapped him. I don’t have any regrets. Aisa hi hoon main (I am like this only). He hurled abuses, and I reacted in my style,” he added.

This incident comes on the heels of Elvish Yadav making headlines for being blocked by actress Kusha Kapila on social media. Kusha Kapila revealed that she blocked Elvish after he was referred to as the “sasti Kareena Kapoor,” adding another layer of drama to the YouTuber’s recent controversies.
