Elvish Yadav, a YouTuber and winner of Big Boss OTT 2, often finds himself in hot water due to his controversial statements. Recently, a video from his podcast resurfaced, showing him making ageist comments towards actress Ankita Lokhande. The incident has sparked outrage among netizens, who are calling out Elvish for his insensitive remarks.
During the podcast, Elvish asked Ankita if she would play the role of Alia Bhatt’s mother in a movie, citing her age as listed on Wikipedia. Ankita was taken aback by the question and responded, “I don’t look old, and I don’t look like Alia Bhatt’s mother.” Elvish continued to press the issue, asking if Ankita would play a motherly role, to which she replied that she had already played a mother’s role at a young age in the TV show “Pavitra Rishta.”
The video has gone viral on Reddit, with many users condemning Elvish’s behavior. One user commented, “Someone should tell this fool that Alia Bhatt is 32 and still plays roles younger than her age. Both Alia and Ankita are beautiful and fit for their age.” Another user wrote, “Elvish, will you play the role of a loser? Because you’re a big loser.” Many others have expressed similar sentiments, questioning why Elvish is given a platform to make such insensitive comments.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about ageism and sexism in the entertainment industry. As one user pointed out, “Would this question be asked to a man?” The controversy has left many wondering if Elvish will face any consequences for his actions, or if he will continue to be given a platform to spread his insensitive views.
