Elvish Yadav recreates viral Coldplay 'cheating hug' moment with Samarth Jurel

Indian YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav has once again captured the internet’s attention, this time by parodying one of the most viral international moments of the month. The incident in question occurred at a Coldplay concert in Boston, where a man and woman were spotted hugging affectionately on the stadium’s kiss cam. The crowd and even Coldplay frontman Chris Martin reacted with surprise, joking that the pair were either having an affair or simply very shy.

Social media soon identified the individuals as Andy Byron, the CEO of US-based tech firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of human resources. The viral video triggered debates about professional ethics, workplace relationships, and corporate responsibility. Byron resigned shortly after, and the company launched an internal investigation.

Joining the internet’s wave of reactions, Elvish Yadav decided to put his own humorous twist on the moment. He shared a photo of himself hugging fellow influencer and reality TV personality Samarth Jurel in nearly the same pose that Andy and Kristin were captured in. Standing behind Samarth with his arms wrapped around him, Elvish replicated the now-iconic pose with precision. His caption read, “When your CEO vibes hit differently,” clearly referencing the original viral moment.

The image was shared briefly as an Instagram Story, where Elvish Yadav could be seen hugging Samarth Jurel in the same pose that went viral from the Coldplay concert. Though it was not posted to his main feed, the story was quickly screen-recorded and circulated by fan pages and meme accounts, gaining traction across social media platforms.

Elvish and Samarth, who gained popularity during their stint on Bigg Boss OTT, have often collaborated on content. Their recreation of the viral hug added an Indian twist to a moment that has already sparked responses from brands and creators worldwide. Their version joins a growing list of recreations inspired by the original Coldplay kiss cam footage, which has remained one of the most talked-about viral videos in recent weeks.

The post quickly gained traction online, with fans and fellow creators flooding the comments section with laughter and praise. Many called it one of the funniest takes on the Coldplay incident so far, while others commended Elvish’s knack for tapping into global trends and turning them into lighthearted content.
