Elvish Yadav termed 'Chapriest' by netizens after associating Chum Darang with Covid; mocking her name

Elvish Yadav and Rajat Dalal sat down for a conversation for his chat show, The Little Adda Company. The podcast has upset many people because of the derogatory things said about Chum Darang. Elvish Yadav in a video says he wonders if Karan Veer Mehra had COVID because how he can like someone like Chum Darang. Another line goes like Chum’s name in itself sounds so vulgar. People are furious with these comments coming from Elvish Yadav and Rajat Dalal. A fan also tagged ministers from North East India so that they could look into these racist comments on the actress.

They said that it is no secret that people of North East India face racism from other parts of the nation. Chum Darang herself has spoken about the same. She said it hurt when people called them coronavirus during the lockdown. YouTuber Manu Punjabi has also poked fun at the name of Chum Darang. People are wondering how kind of message is being sent out to young people by channels who employ Elvish Yadav and Rajat Dalal for their shows. Some even reminded Elvish of his own words that one should strive to rise higher in life by degrading others.

Time for action

Internal racism

Fans called out channel

Wahiyaat

Horrid fan base

The comment about Chum Darang and Gangubai Kathiawadi was also in very poor taste. In the meantime, she congratulated Karan Veer Mehra for a trophy that he picked up. He is getting a number of awards after his win on Bigg Boss 18. The actress is in Arunachal Pradesh enjoying family time with near and dear ones. She shared visuals from a trip to her uncle’s home. A felicitation programme was held in Passighat where she is from. People have spoken about how hard she must have worked to come from Arunachal Pradesh to Mumbai. This incident has proved the internationalized racism in Indians.
