MTV Roadies gang leader Elvish Yadav addresses his controversies, says he has not been convicted yet: ‘People just assume I am rude or evil'
Content Creator Elvish Yadav recently won MTV Roadies XX as a gang leader. After winning the show in his debut season, Elvish looked back at the allegations and controversies surrounding him. Talking about the same, Elvish also spoke about how these allegations have an impact on him as well as his family. He even spoke about rejecting Khatron Ke Khiladi 15's offer. Elvish has been embroiled in controversies like making derogatory remarks against other content creators, passing sexist remarks towards a few female celebrities, giving death threats to a fellow YouTuber, etc. He was also accused in the Snake venom smuggling legal case. On his controversies, Elvish said, 'These allegations do have an impact because people start seeing you in that perspective. A lot of people don't know the difference between being accused and being acquitted. They just think that if someone is blamed, it is proven, whereas the court makes these decisions. So far, none of the allegations against me have been proven, but people just form an opinion that he is evil or rude or have too much attitude. People saw my real side on Bigg Boss; if I were rude, it would have been seen there. I am not like what people assume me to be.' A post shared by Elvish Raosahab (@elvish_yadav) Also Read: Elvish Yadav gives pep talk to UPSC aspirants, internet not amused: 'This country is doomed' Elvish Yadav further spoke about the impact these allegations have had on him and his family. 'It does affect me, I keep thinking about this every day, that I have to deal with things that I have not even done. Sometimes I wonder if being so famous has become a sin, but then I think, what difference will it make if I dwell on it? I don't want anyone to experience this; it has taught me a lot. I have matured before my time. My family has always stood by me, but they are so dignified that they won't support me if they feel I am wrong. So if they stood by me, that means I have not done anything wrong. They are happy, but do get upset when false allegations are made against me. But they love me,' he told Pinkvilla. A post shared by Elvish Raosahab (@elvish_yadav) Elvish also revealed that he was approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, however, he rejected the show due to his fear of crocodiles. On the work front, Elvish has won Bigg Boss OTT 2 and Roadies Double Cross. He is also now seen on Laughter Chefs Season 2.
