Addressing the backlash in his vlog, Elvish stated that he wanted to clarify a few things. He came across posts on Twitter accusing him of making racist comments about Bigg Boss 18 contestant Chum Darang. He acknowledged the controversy and admitted to deleting that portion from his podcast.
He said, “Maine Chum ke upar kuch bol rakhha tha. Maine kaha, Main bola ya nahi, hatao, mujhe negativity chahiye hi nahi. Agar kisiko kharab lag raha hain mere bolne se, toh bhai, wo part meine remove kar diya.”
(I had said something about Chum. Then I thought, whether I said it or not, just remove it. I don’t want any negativity. If anyone felt bad about what I said, I have removed that part.)
Further addressing the backlash from netizens, he said, “Second thing, 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. Karan ko shayad Covid ho gaya hain, jo usko taste, smell chali gayi, toh Chum pasand aa gaya.”
(Second thing, it’s surprising how some people just don’t get it. They’re saying that because I mentioned Covid, I’m somehow linking Chum to being Chinese. Karan might have Covid since he’s lost his sense of taste and smell—that’s why he likes Chum.)
He clarifies that his intention was to suggest that Karan has poor taste in women. The social media influencer further emphasizes that he does not support or endorse racist remarks in any way.
