Elvish Yadav issues statement after video of him slapping a man goes viral, says ‘reacted in my style’

Bigg Boss OTT, Season 2, winner Elvish Yadav is once more in the news. This time however, it is for a controversial video of him slapping a man. This incident was captured on video and was posted on social media earlier today.

YouTuber Elvish got into a fight at a restaurant in Jaipur. The video of the ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’ winner, that went viral, showed him slapping a stranger twice while he held out his hands in protest, and then storming out, but soon coming right back to engage with him again. At this point, his friends intervened and escorted him out.

Soon after the video that was posted on X went viral, Elvish Yadav released an audio statement claiming that the stranger had shouted obscenities and abuses at him and that is what led him to retaliate with a slap. He reiterated that he had no regrets about the incident.

The audio statement issued by him where he shared his perspective of the incident, he said, “Bhai, dekho, matter ye hai, naa mujhe shauk hai ladai karne ka, naa mere ko haath uthane ka shauq 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 nor slapping someone. I click photos with whoever asks but if you make a personal remark, I don’t spare them either).”

Elvish added, “As you can see, there were police and commandos with us. It is not that we’ve done anything wrong. This was personal. He took a personal dig at me, and 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.”
