About Munawar Faruqui and Elvish Yadav's connection
Munawar Faruqui hurt the sentiments of Hindu religion a few years ago during his stand-up act after which he was arrested. Since then, Elvish Yadav and other Hindu YouTubers turned against him. Recently, when Faruqui and Yadav met during the ISPL match, they met cordially and shared a hug. They posed for pictures together too. This didn't go down well with Elvish's fans and they questioned his dedication towards the religion as he hugged Faruqui warmly.

Followed by many comments on his hug with Faruqui, Elvish had to record a video apologizing to fans for hurting their feelings by meeting Munawar Faruqui casually. In the video, he mentioned that he will always be a true Hindu and can give-up on 100 people like Faruqui.
