Bigg Boss 18 contestant Chum Darang recently reacted to YouTuber Elvish Yadav's alleged 'racist' remarks during a podcast with fellow Bigg Boss 18 contestant Rajat Dalal. While Elvish clarified that he did not make any 'racist' remarks, he stated that people have unnecessarily twisted his words.
Chum took to her Instagram story and wrote, "Disrespecting someone's identity & name is not 'fun.' Mocking someone's achievements is not 'banter.' It's time we draw the line between humor and hate."
Further, she also slammed Elvish for mocking her work in Gangubai Kathiawadi. "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 was also disrespected," added Chum.

"To my fellow Northeasterners and everyone who has faced racism I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you. We all deserve Х respect, dignity, and equality. Let's raise our voices against racism and promote a culture of empathy, kindness, and understanding. #NoRoomForRacism #NotOkaywithRacism," Darang added.
Here's what Elvish Yadav said about Chum Darang
Elvish talked about Chum and said, “Karan Veer (Mehra) 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."
Elvish Yadav's clarification
Elvish slammed people, stating that they were unnecessarily twisting his words and said, "Kitne bewakoof log hain jinko ye samajh mein nahi aa raha. Wo log bol raha hain Elvish ne Covid bol diya, so Elvish is relating Chinese with Chum. Usmein maine bola tha, Karan Veer (Mehra) ko shayad Covid ho rakha tha jo uski taste, smell chali gayi, jo usko Chum pasand aa gayi."
He also stated that he is not apologetic about it as people have made unnecessary things.
