Elvish Yadav reacts to Karan Veer Mehra’s video
On Wednesday, Karan Veer shared a video reciting a poem that spoke about how terrorists have divided the nation along religious lines and how humanity has been lost. The poem was earlier presented by Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana, and Karan was simply reciting it. Reacting to the video, Elvish took a dig at the actor’s Bigg Boss 18 win and wrote, “Pakistan se vote aaye the kya bhai?” (Did you get votes from Pakistan?).
Karan Veer’s video was criticised by internet users, who slammed him for being ‘insensitive’. One X user wrote, “Show some sensitivity! You might have a point of view, but do you really need to put on this bad acting when families are grieving their lost ones?” Another commented, “Bro, I have literally loved your journey and followed you for the past 6–7 months. And this is what you post? Really ashamed of you @KaranVeerMehra. Really, really disappointed.” Some even questioned whether he was giving an audition on X.
For the unversed, Elvish had supported fitness influencer Rajat Dalal during Bigg Boss 18. When Rajat finished in third place instead of winning, Elvish expressed his shock. Eventually, Karan Veer beat Vivian Dsena to lift the trophy of Salman Khan’s show.
Pahalgam terror attack shook the country to the core
