Divyanka Tripathi TROLLED For Not Recognising Elvish Yadav, Slams His Fans Over 'Foul Language'
News18
Popular TV actor Divyanka Tripathi recently faced a barrage of hate and abuse after failing to recognise Elvish Yadav on the cooking-based reality show, Laughter Chefs 2. Elvish's fans at once sprang to action and trolled Divyanka for failing to identify their icon. On Monday, July 21, the Banoo Main Teri Dulhann star decided to break her silence and shut down the trolls with a sharp response.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Divyanka commented under one of her posts, calling out the hate, while also thanking genuine fans. 'I want to thank genuine Elvish fans for being nice. True fans, first keep their idol's respect in mind. Double thanks to the trollers for increasing my engagement (sic)," she wrote.
What is the Elvish Yadav-Divyanka Tripathi controversy?
For those unaware, Divyanka appeared on Laughter Chefs 2 recently, where she mistook Elvish for Samarth Jurel during introductions on stage. The moment saw her shaking hands with Elvish and saying, 'Hi Samarth," which left Aly Goni, Krushna Abhishek, and others laughing.
Realising her mistake, Divyanka immediately apologised and even joked that the part should be edited out to avoid trolling by Elvish's fans. Looks like her prediction came true. Take a look at her video here:

Elvish Yadav often finds himself embroiled in controversies. In a recent interview, the YouTuber admitted that these incidents affect him too. Elvish mentioned that he frequently thinks about it and questions whether being popular has become a crime these days. 'It affects me. Every day I ponder how I am compelled to do things I never intended to," Elvish told Pinkvilla.
'Sometimes I wonder, 'Is being this famous a crime now? Did I do something wrong? There are people even more famous than me, and they seem happy. Why is this happening to me?'" the YouTuber added.
Sharing how he copes with it, Elvish revealed, 'I think about it sometimes, then I realise there's no point in overthinking. So I stop thinking altogether. That's just how it is."

Dominic Franks' viral onion tart sparks Upside Down Cookbook
In May 2023, UK-based food writer Dominic Franks posted a reel on his Instagram page featuring an upside-down puff pastry onion tart. Topped with cream cheese, layered banana shallots, the golden squares went viral overnight. With over a million likes, the reel has since got 40 million views, and counting. And this reel is what led Dominic on the path to turning author, and his recently-launched debut cookbook Upside Down Cooking (published by Dorling Kindersley) is an ode to the viral onion tart. While Dominic has been known for whipping up seasonal and rustic British recipes, he created the onion tart as he wanted 'a savoury version of the tart tatin' that he loved the concept of. 'I've always wanted to write a book, but I could see the potential of the 'upside down' concept as it was so popular on my social media. It took me roughly six months to write the book in the summer of 2024. I had many of the recipes already from trials on social media,' he says. The 'upside down' method is a culinary technique wherein ingredients are layered in a pan or dish in reverse order, and the dish is flipped before serving. Dominic adds that the onion tart aside, other popular recipes were the beetroot, red onion and feta tart, and the upside down tomato tart. 'The upside-down concept is so simple and once you try it you can see how easily adaptable and versatile it is for savoury and sweet recipes. They're also very easy and quick to create which is why the amateur cook likes it.' Featuring 85 recipes, Upside Down Cooking includes many of his inverted treats, smaller pies, family-sized pies, and desserts. 'Many people asked me what to serve with the pies and tarts so I wanted to create a selection of side-dishes such as fresh salads, soups. These are perfect to serve with my upside down creations,' says Dominic, who draws inspiration from old cookbooks such as Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course, and television shows by Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, and Rick Stein. 'I am very much an 'in the moment' cook so I don't spend a lot of time testing recipes,' says Dominic, 'I tend to make something, and if it works it's a go and if it doesn't then I don't include it. I think this is more realistic to how people cook in their everyday life. So, for the book, I would think of my favourite foods and imagine if they would work upside down. If they worked they were in the book!' And recipes that did make the cut include upside-down versions of an apricot, polenta, and almond traybake cake; spanakopita; banana toffee tart; beetroot tart tatin, among others. A surprising find was the upside down samosa. 'I grew up in London in the 1970s with many Indian friends and so Indian food was always a part of my life. I knew I wanted to include some recipes that reflect that in the book. My favourite Indian dish is the korma and I am working on an upside down version of that,' says Dominic, who is now working on his second book on the same concept. Priced at ₹2,750, Upside Down Cooking is available online

‘I've thought about suicide 100 times': Jennifer Mistry's shocking revelations on TMKOC, harassment, and mental struggles
Actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, known for playing Roshan Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has once again spoken about her painful experience on the show. In a new interview with Pinkvilla, she shared how the working environment affected her mental health and why she spoke up against the producer Asit Kumarr Modi. Jennifer's allegations against Asit Modi Jennifer said the problems started in 2018. She had a fight with Sohail Ramani, the operations head, and went to Asit Modi hoping he would support her. Instead, he made a shocking comment. "He said to me, 'You look sexy (sexy lag rahi ho)'." Jennifer also talked about an incident from 2019 during a trip to Singapore. "He approached me and said, 'Your roommate goes out every day. Why don't you come to my room and drink whiskey? You wouldn't get bored alone'." Another disturbing moment happened at a coffee shop during the same trip to Singapore. She added, "He said, 'Your lips are very sexy. It makes me want to hold you and kiss you'." She claimed he made such comments not just to her but to other actresses too. She shared that in 2022, she was crying on a call with Asit Modi. His reply made her feel uncomfortable. "Why are you crying? If you were here, I would hug you. I would take a chance. You don't care about me." Jennifer on mental health and suicidal thoughts Jennifer also said the situation impacted her mental health and she went through a very dark phase. She had thoughts of suicide but her daughter gave her strength. "When I was going through menopause, I experienced depression and, over the last two years, I've thought about suicide more than a hundred times. The only thing that kept me going was my daughter, Lekisha." Her husband supported her and helped her get medical treatment. Jennifer said she is still facing financial issues due to the ongoing legal case. Former TMKOC actors speak up about on-set issues Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been entertaining viewers for 17 years and remains one of TV's most loved shows. While the show continues to thrive, several former cast members have spoken out about troubling experiences behind the scenes. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, actor Monika Bhadoriya (who played Bawri) talked about her difficult time on the show. She blamed Sohail Ramani, the operations head, for bad behavior and even violence on the set. She said, 'He is rude to everyone, and sometimes, because of this behaviour, he gets into a brawl with the artists. Even though he got into so many fights with the actors, he is still the production head and instead, artists are leaving the show." Moreover, Gurucharan Singh, who played Roshan Sodhi on the show, claimed he didn't leave the show in 2012. Instead, he said he was replaced without any notice. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, he said, 'Taraak Mehta is like my family because if I didn't consider them as family, I would have said a lot of things about them which I didn't. In 2012, they replaced me, so I didn't leave the show." He said he was shocked to see a new actor playing his role without anyone informing him.
