Elvish Yadav, “Bigg Boss OTT 2” winner, made headlines on Monday after slapping a man at a restaurant in Jaipur. The incident happened on Sunday and a video of the same has spread like wildfire on the internet.

In the now-viral video, Yadav was seen exiting the restaurant with his team. He suddenly traced his steps back and started assaulting a man sitting inside. When the person argued back, Yadav turned towards him again in a fit of rage but was stopped by his team.

Sharing a clarification via an audio message, the YouTuber said, “Bhai, dekho, matter ye hai, na mujhe shauk hai ladai karne ka, na 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 or slapping anyone. I mind my own business. I also get clicked with whoever wants photos with me. However, if someone passes a comment or abuses, I don’t spare them).”

The clarification was posted by his fan account on X.

He also added that he doesn’t have any regrets about the incident and he is like this only. “There were police and commandos with us. It is not that we’ve done anything wrong.”

“Ye mera personal tha. Usne mereko personally bola. Aur mujhe iss baat ka koi gham bhi nahi hai. Mujhe koi regret bhi nahi hai. Aisa hi hun main. (He was attacking me personally. I don’t have any regrets. I am like this only).”

Meanwhile, in November last year, Yadavwas accused of organising rave parties in Noida. Nine poisonous snakes were recovered by the police during a raid at the venue. The case against Yadav was registered based on a complaint by an official of People for Animals (PFA).

The accused allegedly used to supply snakes and poison in the parties of Elvish Yadav, CNN-News18 reported, quoting sources.
