‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’ winner Elvish Yadav created history on August 19 as he went on to become No. 1 in India for most Instagram Live viewers.

His Instagram Live was attended by over 5,95,000 viewers and the session crashed soon after heavy traffic.

The previous record was held by ‘Bigg Boss 16’ winner MC Stan, whose live was attended by 5.41 lakh viewers.

According to the Twitter account Bigg Boss Tak, a post read, ‘Elvish Yadav Insta LIVE Crashed. Elvish breaks all records and has India's Maximum Insta Live watching (595,000+). His Live also entered in World Top 10 rank.’

The post also shared a video of Elvish thanking all his fans for creating this record. He said in his Instagram Stories, ‘Guys abhi abhi aap logo ne dekha... pata lag gaya ki jaise mera live crash hua... phone load nahi le pa raha.. Instagram crash ho gaya (Just as you all must have noticed, that my live was crashed, my phone was unable to load. Instagram also crashed).’

He added, ‘But good news is humne India ka record tod diya aur hum number 1 pe aa gaye hein... all thanks to you aap log na hote toh na ye record tut ta na tumhara bhai hota kuch bhi. Dhanyavaad sabhi logon ka (the good news is that we broke the record created in India and are now number 1. all thanks to you. If it weren't for you all this record would not have broken neither would your brother reach this far. Thank you all).’

After winning the show, Elvish, in an interview with Hindustan Times, shared, ‘I knew jeetunga toh mai hi (I knew I was going to win)… maybe. Abhishek (Malhan) was quite strong. He was in the house since the beginning with the support of his million followers. It was like uske jeetne ke chances hai poore poore (he had a fair chance). But, I never said that I will be a one-sided winner.’
