Elvish Yadav criticized after rudely turning away a young fan asking for a selfie

Elvish Yadav, a well-known YouTuber and winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, is facing heavy criticism once again. A recent video of him yelling at a young fan has gone viral on social media, leading to widespread outrage. In the clip, Elvish is seen getting into his blue Mercedes when a young fan approaches him, politely asking for a selfie. Instead of responding kindly, Elvish angrily says, “Hatt jaa!” which means “Get lost!”

This short video has spread quickly online, with many people expressing disappointment over his behavior. Social media users were especially upset because the fan appeared to be a child who simply admired Elvish and wanted a picture. Many viewers called his reaction rude and unnecessary, saying it’s wrong for celebrities to treat fans this way, especially young ones.

Although many criticised him, some of Elvish’s supporters attempted to defend his actions. They claimed he may have been tired, stressed, or in a hurry and that the video only captured a small part of the situation. However, Elvish has not spoken about the incident yet. There has been no official response from him or his team, and fans are waiting to hear his side of the story.

This isn't the first time Elvish has landed in trouble for his words or actions. Earlier in 2025, he was slammed for making insensitive remarks about Bigg Boss 18 finalist Chum Darang. He made fun of her name, calling it "ashleel" (meaning vulgar), and also said that people only liked her because of the COVID era. These comments were seen as offensive and racist by many viewers. After the backlash, Elvish removed that part of his podcast and explained that his words were misunderstood.

Despite these controversies, Elvish remains active in the entertainment world. He recently took part in the show Laughter Chefs 2: Unlimited Entertainment, a fun cooking and comedy show that airs on Colors and is also available to stream on JioCinema.

The recent video of him yelling at a young fan has started a larger conversation online about how public figures behave in real life. Many people are asking whether celebrities should be more careful with how they respond to fans. Others are discussing whether stress and fame can excuse such rude behavior.

As of now, the video has hurt Elvish’s public image even more. While he continues to enjoy a large fan following, these repeated controversies are making it harder for some to continue supporting him. Until he speaks up and explains what happened, the criticism on social media is likely to continue.
