Earlier in the day, Elvish shared a video in which he claimed that the allegations made by Maneka had damaged his image, and she would have to face the consequences. In the video shared by Bigg Boss live updates X (formerly Twitter) handle, Elvish said, "Mujh pe ilzaam laga diya, Maneka Gandhi ji ne mujhe saapon ke supplier ka head bana diya. Ek defamation case aayega bhai, aise nahi chhodne wala main. Halke mein toh chhodta hi nahi main. Ab main ho gaya hoon active inn cheezon mein. Pehle main sochta tha ki time waste nahi karte hai. But jab image kharab hoti hai na gandi tarike wali image kharab hui."
Elvish further asked netizens to present his side of the story as well. "Jo log dekh rahe hai please mere ko judge mat karna iss cheez pe. Please wait karna. Jab police investigation sunayegi toh main video bhi share karunga. Saari cheezein share karunga. Bada confidence se bol raha hoon. Toh kuch soch kar bol raha hoon. Press statement bhi release hogi ki Elvish Yadav ka iss case mein zero involvement hai. Woh bhi dekhna aur please share karna."
