Bigg Boss 18’s Chum Daran Slams Elvish Yadav for Racist Remarks: Earlier, there was a social media storm against Elvish Yadav for making racial remarks against Chum Darang in his podcast. Actor has now replied to the YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, saying that he did not do justice to her identity and instead made a mockery of her name.

She further criticised him for belittling her accomplishments and added, “What's even more disappointing is that this wasn't just about my ethnicity. My hard work and a film backed by a visionary like Sanjay Leela Bhansali were also disrespected.”

She concluded, “To my fellow Northeasterners and everyone who has faced racism, I see you, hear you, and I stand with you. We all deserve respect, dignity, and equality. Let's raise our voices against racism and promote a culture of empathy, kindness, and understanding.”

What Elvish Yadav said

Chum was mocked by Elvish on the podcast with Rajat Dalal, where he made fun of her name and then her casting in Gangubai Kathiawadi.

He said, “Karanveer ko pakka COVID tha kyunki Chum kisko pasand aati hai bhai, itna taste kiska kharab hota hai! Aur Chum ke toh naam mein hi ashleelta hai… Naam Chum aur kaam Gangubai Kathiawadi mein kiya hai (Karanveer must have definitely had COVID because who would like Chum, bro? Who has such bad taste! And even Chum's name itself is vulgar… Her name is Chum, and she worked in Gangubai Kathiawadi).”

Chum fans soon turned to social media, calling the YouTuber 'racist' and demanding an apology, which Elvish promptly refused. He said he did not want to apologize because people had unnecessary twisted his words.
