Elvish Yadav (pronounced [ˈɛlvɪʃ jˈadav]; born 14 September 1997), is an Indian Youtuber, streamer and singer from Gurugram, India. He is known for his YouTube videos and winning the second season of Bigg Boss OTT.

Early life

Yadav was born on 14 September 1997 as Siddharth Yadav to father Ram Avtar Yadav and mother Sushma Yadav in a Hindu Ahir family from Haryana.[2] Yadav went to Amity International School of Haryana during his childhood. He attended Hansraj College, Delhi, to complete his further education.

Career

Yadav began his YouTube career on 29 April 2016, and as of August 2023, he has a following of 13.2 million subscribers and 1.16 billion views on his primary YouTube channel.[3][4] He initially named his channel 'The Social Factory' but later rebranded it to Elvish Yadav. His content primarily revolves around flash fiction and conceptual short films.[5]

He launched a new YouTube channel, titled ‘Elvish Yadav Vlogs’ on 23 November 2019. Yadav’s channel had 3.47 million subscribers and 95 million views as of February 2023. He made daily vlogs and criticised movies with his friends and family on this channel.[6] He also started a new gaming channel 'Elvish Yadav Gaming' in May 2023.[7][8]

In 2023, he participated as a wildcard-entrant, on the captive reality show Bigg Boss OTT (Hindi season 2) and emerged as the winner.[9]

He also owns the clothing brand 'Systumm clothing' and 'Elgro Women'.[10][11] He also owns an NGO, 'Elvish Yadav Foundation', which helps in providing education to underprivileged children, and free meals to the needy.[12]

Personal life

In 2016, he started his YouTube channel after being inspired by Ashish Chanchlani and Amit Bhadana.[12]

He is interested in cars, owning a Porsche 718 Boxster, Toyota Fortuner Legender, and a Hyundai Verna.[13][14] In 2023, he bought a Mercedes Benz.[15]

In 2023, he purchased a duplex apartment in Dubai for ₹8 crore (US$1.0 million).[16]

Controversies

Yadav utilized his YouTube platform to engage in a practice commonly referred to as "roasting," specifically targeting TikTok videos. In his content, he drew comparisons between the youthful individuals featured in TikTok videos and individuals engaged in the scavenging of discarded items, colloquially known as "ragpickers".[17] He encountered significant backlash for his critical commentary directed towards Kusha Kapila, a female comedian. His comments were widely regarded as an instance of online abuse, and they ignited substantial controversy and disapproval from the online community.[18]

In September 2023, Yadav generated additional controversy when he referred to Arjun Bijlani as "a woman". This particular statement, deemed offensive and inappropriate, attracted extensive criticism and condemnation from various quarters.[19][20]

On 3 November 2023, Noida Police filed an FIR against Elvish and five others after nine venomous snakes, including cobras, were found in their possession. These snakes and snake venom were used at alleged illegal rave parties.[21] The case was initiated based on a complaint from BJP MP Maneka Gandhi's NGO, who accused Elvish of shooting videos with snakes and hosting unauthorized parties with snake venom and drugs. An undercover operation led to the arrest of five individuals who named Elvish Yadav as the mastermind.[22]
