Elvish Yadav (pronounced [ˈɛlvɪʃ jˈadav]; born 14 September 1997), earlier known as Siddharth Yadav, is an Indian YouTuber, streamer and singer from Wazirabad, a village located in Gurugram, India.[citation needed] He is known for his YouTube videos and winning the second season of Bigg Boss OTT.
Early life
Yadav was born on 14 September 1997 as Siddharth Yadav to Ram Avtar Yadav and Sushma Yadav in a Hindu Yaduvanshi Ahir family from Haryana. Yadav went to Amity International School of Haryana and later joined Hansraj College, Delhi, to complete his Bachelor of Commerce degree.
Career
Yadav began his YouTube career on 29 April 2016, and as of February 2024, he has a following of 14.9 million subscribers and 1.37 billion views on his primary YouTube channel. He initially named his channel The Social Factory but later rebranded it to Elvish yadav. His content primarily revolves around flash fiction and conceptual short films.
He launched a new YouTube channel, titled Elvish Yadav Vlogs on 23 November 2019. Yadav’s channel had 7.7 million subscribers and 134 million views as of February 2024. He made daily vlogs and criticised movies with his friends and family on this channel. He also started a new gaming channel Elvish Yadav Gaming in May 2023.
In 2023, he participated as a wildcard-entrant, on the captive reality show Bigg Boss OTT (Hindi season 2) and emerged as the winner.
Additionally he owns a clothing brand ‘systumm_clothing’ and an NGO, ‘Elvish Yadav Foundation’, which helps underprivileged children.
Personal life
In 2016, he started his YouTube channel after being inspired by Ashish Chanchlani and Amit Bhadana.
Controversies
Yadav utilized his YouTube platform to engage in a practice commonly referred to as “roasting,” specifically targeting TikTok videos. In his content, he drew comparisons between the youthful individuals featured in TikTok videos and individuals engaged in the scavenging of discarded items, colloquially known as “ragpickers”. He encountered significant backlash for his critical commentary directed towards Kusha Kapila, a female comedian. His comments were widely regarded as an instance of online abuse, and they ignited substantial controversy and disapproval from the online community.
In September 2023, Yadav generated additional controversy when he referred to Arjun Bijlani as “a woman”. This particular statement, deemed offensive and inappropriate, attracted extensive criticism and condemnation from various quarters.
On 3 November 2023, Noida Police filed an FIR against Elvish and five others after nine venomous snakes, including cobras, were found in their possession. These snakes and snake venom were used at alleged illegal rave parties. The case was initiated based on a complaint from BJP MP Maneka Gandhi’s NGO, who accused Elvish of shooting videos with snakes and hosting unauthorized parties with snake venom and drugs. An undercover operation led to the arrest of five individuals who named Elvish Yadav as the mastermind.
On 8 March 2024, Yadav came under immense controversy after footage of him, along with multiple companions, physically abusing and giving death threats to fellow content creator, Sagar Thakur (known online as MaxTern) at a garment shop in Gurgaon, went viral online. According to news sources, an FIR has been registered against him. The altercation supposedly happened after a social media clash, in which Thakur criticized Yadav for cosying up to comedian Munawar Faruqui. However, Yadav told The Indian Express that Thakur threatened to kill his family, and the incident took place in the heat of the moment.
What ‘Maxtern’ Sagar Thakur said in his complaint?
Sagar Thakur, in his police complaint, wrote that Elvish Yadav poses a threat to his life.
“I, Sagar Thakur, also known Maxtern, would like to bring your attention a grave incident of assault and threat to my life perpetrated by Elvish Yadav, which necessitates immediate legal action. I am a well-known content creator specializing in gaming entertainment, actively producing content on YouTube since 2017,” Thakur said in his complaint to the police, according to ANI.

Thakur also took to X to post a fresh video in which he alleged that by registering the FIR against Elvish Yadav under bailable sections, there were attempts to cover up the incident. He also claimed that initially he only got an injury to his upper lip after the thrashing, but was feeling pain in his neck and spine now as well.
“I was brutally attacked and assaulted by Elvish Yadav, who openly issued death threats to me. All the evidence is available on the internet. But when I went to the police station to file an FIR, the SHO lodged it under IPC 147, 149, 323, and 506. Unfortunately, these are bailable sections, and despite clear evidence of an attempt to murder, no non-bailable charges were included,” Sagar Thakur tweeted.
He asked why murder charges were not included in the FIR, and questioned if the decision was influnced by “money and support” from the Haryana government.
“Is the Haryana government potentially protecting a criminal?” he tweeted.

The YouTuber, in the fresh video, requested Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Gurugram Police to register an FIR against Elvish Yadav with a non-bailable section for attempt to murder and arrest the Big Boss OTT 2 winner.
Thakur also claimed that Elvish Yadav is a bad influence to India’s youth as he promotes violence, and added that if he is not arrested, then Indian laws “would be defeated”.
“If anything unfortunate happens to me in the future, Elvish Yadav should be held accountable,” Thakur tweeted.
WHAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT?
A social media war erupted between Sagar Thakur and Elvish Yadav after the former mocked the Big Boss OTT 2 winner, terming him a “hypocrite” following a picture of Yadav warming up to Bigg Boss winner Munawar Faruqui in a cricket match, surfaced on social media.
Yadav, a vocal Hindutva supporter, was criticised by his followers for the picture with Munawar, who was arrested in 2021 for alleged “indecent” remarks about Hindu deities.
After that, the two met in Gurugram at 12.30 am, and at around 2 am, Sagar Thakur shared a video on social media, claiming he was beaten up by Elvish Yadav and 8–10 men. He later shared a video wherein the Big Boss OTT 2 winner and his accomplices could be seen entering a garments shop and thrashing Sagar Thakur.
