The popular Youtuber and former Bigg Boss Ott Elvish Yadav champion is again under the spotlight for bad reasons. This time, he faces serious backlash for having made derogatory comments on the Bigg Boss 18 Chum Daranging actress during a podcast conversation. An extract from the discussion has become viral, arousing generalized indignation on social networks.
The controversial clip presents Yadav conversing with his compatriot Bigg Boss 18 Rajat Dalal. While discussing Chum Darang, Yadav made an insensitive comment, saying: “Karan Veer had to be affected by Covid because who, in their good sense, would be interested in the CHUM? No one could have such a terrible taste! Even her name himself is indecent… Chum, and she acted in Gangubai Kathiawadi – what a combination!
The remarks were gathered with immediate online criticisms. Internet users have called upon her rude and disrespectful words, much expressing their disappointment in his behavior. An X user (formerly Twitter) pointed out: “Third -order conversation by a bitter individual. Absolutely shameful “, while another wrote,” people viles make vile statements. “”
Faced with the reaction, Elvish addressed the controversy of his vlog. Recognizing indignation, he admitted to having deleted the controversial segment of his podcast. “Maine Chum Ke Upar Kuch Bol Rakhha Tha. Maine Kaha, hand bola ya nahi, hatao, mujhe negativity chahiye hi nahi. Agar Kisiko Kharab Lag Raha Hain Mere Bolne SE, Toh Bhai, Wo Part Meine remove Kar Diya, “he explained. (I had said something about the boyfriend. Then I thought I said it or not, I take it away. I don’t want negativity. If someone felt bad what I have said, I deleted this part.)
In addition, he addressed the accusations of racism resulting from his commentary, specifying that his intention was to make fun of the taste of Karan Veer Mehra towards women, to make no racial insinuation. “Second thing, Kitne Bewakoof Log Hain Jinko Ye Samajh Mein Nahi Aa Raha. Wo Log Bol Raha Hain Elvish Ne Covid Bol Diya, then Elvish tells the Chinese with the boyfriend … Karan could have styled because he has lost his sense of taste and smell – that’s why he loves the boyfriend “, a- he said. Elvish added that he does not approve or support racist remarks in any way.
Despite its clarification, criticism continues to rise. Critics argue that making fun of someone’s name, especially on a public platform, does not reflect their character. Meanwhile, supporters claim that his words have been released from their context.
