Actress Elli AvrRam recently stirred up a little fun. She posted a photo of two tea cups. One cup had her name, Elli. The other had Ashish. This simple picture came after a whole lot of talk about her and popular YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani.
Not long ago, Elli and Ashish shared a cozy picture together. The internet quickly buzzed with rumors. Fans thought they were a new couple. Congratulations flooded their social media. But soon, the real story came out. It was all a clever marketing stunt for their new music video, ‘Chandaniya.’
Now, Elli is clearing things up again. She wants everyone to know they are just good friends. She shared a video on Instagram that features Ashish. In the video, Elli appears first, then Ashish pops into view. She captioned it, “The Unexpected Friendship.” This post, along with the tea cup photo, sent a clear message.
When she shared the tea picture, Elli added a playful Hindi saying: “A monkey doesn’t know the taste of ginger.” This means some things are simple and true, even if others don’t understand their value. She’s hinting that her friendship with Ashish is straightforward. Her recent posts aim to show their bond is purely platonic. It seems the main goal all along was to create buzz for their song.
This promotional trick did get people talking, but not always in a good way. Some fans were upset about the fake romance. They felt tricked. Things took a harsh turn when some online users started trolling Elli. They even made rude comments about her past relationships.
Ashish Chanchlani wasn’t silent for long. He spoke out against the bullies. He made it clear that those who were mean were not his true fans. He said his community thinks differently. Ashish added that his followers have known him for ten years. They understand his views and support him.
So, while a publicity stunt can sometimes cause a stir, it seems Elli and Ashish are still just good friends. Sometimes, a cup of tea between pals is all there is.
