Later, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a cryptic note. Probably pointing at his snake venom controversy and Munawar Faruqui's recent detention in the Mumbai Hookah bar raid, he wrote, "Biggboss Jeetne Ke Baad Sabka Bura Time Shuru Hojaata Hai Kya (Does everyone's bad times start after winning Bag Boss? (Does everyone's bad times start after winning Bag Boss?)."


For the unversed, Elvish Yadav gained media attention owing to his wild card entry in the Bigg Boss OTT 2, hosted by Salman Khan. While he emerged as the winner of the show, Abhishek Malhan became the runner-up. However, ever since he won the second season of the Bigg Boss OTT, Elvish Yadav has been embroiled in controversies. From his fight with YouTuber Maxtern or slapping a man publicly, he dominated the headlines for no good reason.
