From getting into a physical fight with a fellow YouTuber to being involved in the snake venom case: Times when Elvish Yadav stirred controversy

Elvish Yadav is currently in the news after videos of him getting into a physical fight with a fellow YouTuber Maxtern went viral. Over the years, Elvish has gotten into several dramas and controversies, leaving his fans shocked. Here’s a look at the times when he made headlines for the wrong reasons post-Bigg Boss OTT 2.

A video of Elvish Yadav getting into a physical fight with YouTuber Maxtern aka Sagar Thakur recently surfaced on the internet. In the video, Elvish can be seen approaching Maxtern and later starting a fight with him. The drama began after YouTuber Sagar Thakur aka Maxtern made some serious allegations against Yadav. Maxtern took to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and accused Elvish Yadav of threatening him. The YouTuber wrote, “Bhaisaab, jaan se maarne ki dhamki de gaye hain. Main toh akela tha. Elvish bhai saath mein bahut saare bande laaye the. Toh iske main full video subah daalta hu acche se. Sab dekhna kya hua. Hamare pass bhi recording hai. Main toh theek hu bas yahan (lip) par chot aaye hai. Yeh bhi 8 logo se ladne ke baad aaye hai.”

Last month, Elvish Yadav’s video where he can be seen slapping a guy at a restaurant went viral. After the video surfaced on the internet, an audio clip of Elvish went viral on social media where he confirmed that the guy abused him first which later provoked him to do so. He said, “Fans come and take pictures which is okay but if someone uses abusive words for my mom or sister, I am not going to take it. I did it only because he abused me. I have no regrets for what I did.”

YouTuber and reality TV star Elvish Yadav was interrogated by police for an hour last year in November because of his links with the five men arrested for allegedly supplying snake venom as a party drug. Police said the names of some celebrities surfaced, and teams are working to collect evidence against them. Elvish was booked in the case last week on a complaint by BJP MP Maneka Gandhi's NGO, People for Animals. Rahul (32), Teetunath (45), Jaikaran (50), Narayan (50) and Ravinath (45), all residents of Delhi, have been arrested in the case so far. "We will likely question Yadav again on Wednesday night. We have a few leads on which our teams are working. We would also summon the celebrities whose names surfaced once we have adequate evidence," a senior police officer confirmed.

Elvish Yadav and Munawar Faruqui, two popular Bigg Boss faces recently came together for a project. Many celebs including Munawar and Elvish went for a cricket opening match earlier this week. However, what caught many eyeballs was how Munawar and Elvish met and clicked many pictures and videos together. Previously the Bigg Boss 17 winner came live on Instagram after winning the show. Several thousand fans joined the live after which he shared a screenshot and wrote ‘record.’ Later, fans shared the screenshot and claimed that he made a new record and compared it with Elvish Yadav’s live. However, Elvish then re-shared a screenshot from his live, that he appeared on after winning Bigg Boss OTT 2 and wrote, “Record” (fans believed that he taunted Munawar and reminded the fans that he still holds the record of the highest number of people on Instagram live).

After Bigg Boss OTT 2 wrapped up its curtains, Asim Riaz is made headlines for his Bangalore concert. Clips from the concert where he is talking about Elvish’s journey in the Bigg Boss OTT 2 and comparing it with his and Sidharth Shukla's were seen. What caught the most attention was Asim showing his middle finger during the concert after addressing Elvish Yadav. After knowing of this Elvish came live on Instagram and addressed the same. He slammed Asim by calling him “irrelevant” and a “clout chaser.”

Last year after Elvish won Bigg Boss OTT 2, Arjun tweeted about how some Bigg Boss winner's fans troll women and disrespect them. Netizens believed that the tweet was directed towards Elvish. Later, the Elvish made a sarcastic remark against him and called him a 'woman.’ Arjun tweeted, “Big boss karke some people and their fan clubs have forgotten how to respect women. Sad !!” Elvish responded, “Mujhe Ab Pata Laga Tum Woman Ho.”

A video of Big Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav, along with producer Raghav Sharma being attacked and almost beaten by a mob in Jammu is doing rounds on social media. In the video, Elvish and Raghav can be seen getting surrounded by a mob. While Elvish manages to run away from the location, a man can be seen grabbing Raghav's collar and dragging him.
