Elvish Yadav slaps a man at Jaipur restaurant, says he has no regrets: ‘Aisa hi hoon main’

Elvish Yadav, popular YouTuber and winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, faced controversy anew for reportedly slapping a man at a Jaipur restaurant. Videos of the incident spread rapidly on social media, leading Elvish to release an audio clip to address his actions.

In the audio clip, the YouTuber claimed that the man had made derogatory comments about 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 nor slapping someone. I click photos with whoever asks but if you make a personal remark, I don’t spare them either).’

He added, ‘As you can see, there were police and commandos with us. It is not that we’ve done anything wrong. Yeh mera personal tha. Usne mereko personally bola, maine personally jaake sade ke de diya. Aur mujhe koi uss baat ka gum bhi nahi hi ki bhai mujhe regret ho. Aisa hi hun main (This was personal. He took a personal dig at me, I personally went and slapped him. I don’t have any regrets. I am like this only).’

The viral video captured Elvish involved in a heated altercation with a man at the restaurant, after which his friends escorted him out.

EARLIER CONTROVERSY

This isn't the first instance of Elvish making headlines for controversial reasons. Last November, he was embroiled in a case linked to the supply and use of snake venom at a rave party in Noida. The Noida police filed an FIR against Elvish following a raid on a banquet hall where snakes and venom were found, leading to questioning by authorities based on a complaint from the People For Animals (PFA) organization.
