Elvish Yadav reacts to backlash over racist remarks against Chum Darang

In the vlog Elvish Yadav said, “"I had said something about Chum. I don’t care whether I said it or not; I removed it. I don’t want any negativity. If anyone felt bad because of what I said, then brother, I have removed that part”.

He further said, “Kitne bewakoof log hain jinko ye samajh mein nahi aa raha. Wo log bol raha hain Elvish ne Covid bol diya, so Elvish is relating Chinese with Chum. Usmein maine bola tha, Karan Veer (Mehra) ko shayad Covid ho rakha tha jo uski taste, smell chali gayi, jo usko Chum pasand aa gayi.” (there are so many foolish people who don’t understand this. They are saying that Elvish mentioned Covid, so he is relating Chum to the Chinese. What I said was that Karan Veer had Covid, which is why he might have lost his taste and smell, and that’s why he liked Chum).

“Main itna gaya guzra nahi hu ki kisi ko bolu ki tu ye hai, wo hai. Main in cheezon se bachta hu. Na mujhe kisise lena dena ki main kisi pe racist comment pass karu. Baaki genuine jo cheez mere se kharaab hui, wo cheez galat hai”. (I am not so low that I would tell someone what they are or what they aren’t. I stay away from such things. I have no interest in making racist comments about anyone)

Aur Chum ke toh naam mein hi ashleelta hai… Naam Chum aur kaam Gangubai Kathiawadi mein kiya hai”.

These remarks of him sparked anger amongst netizens for his statement, with many demanding a case should be filed against him. One user wrote, “Elvish being the duffer he is”.

Ye desh ka yuva kis kisko idol bana leta hai. Pathetic”, wrote the third user.
