Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan Roasts Elvish Yadav, Jokes About Snake Venom Controversy

As Elvish Yadav made his entrance on Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan welcomed him with a mischievous grin: “Please welcome Elvish Yadav. Ekdum system hang kar dena. (Completely crash the system).” Elvish responded cheekily, “Gharwalon ke andar jo vish hai, uska ilaaj karne aaya hoon. (I’ve come to cure the poison inside the housemates).”

Salman quipped, “Vish se toh aapka purana naata hai. (You’ve had a long-standing connection with poison),” subtly alluding to the snake venom controversy that involved Elvish earlier this year. Laughing, Elvish replied, “Kaafi. (A lot),” prompting Salman to add, “But I didn’t know you can fix it too. You have the antidote.”

For context, Elvish Yadav was earlier embroiled in a legal controversy over a rave party where snake venom was allegedly distributed. While his legal team maintains his innocence, the Allahabad High Court recently refused to quash the chargesheet, keeping the case under investigation.

Poison and Antidote Task
Inside the Bigg Boss house, Elvish kept the drama alive by introducing a “Poison and Antidote” task. He announced, “Pranit bhai ko lagta hai mere andar bahut vish hai. Aap logon ko batana hai kiske andar ka vish aap nikalna chahte ho. (Pranit thinks I have a lot of poison in me. You all have to say whose poison you’d like to extract).”

The task quickly turned intense, leading to emotional revelations and sharp jabs. Zeishan Quadri handed the antidote to Kunickaa Sadanand, saying, “Agar yahan huye hain 100 mudde, toh 95 mein Kunickaa ji hai. (If there have been 100 issues here, Kunickaa ji is involved in 95).”

Abhishek Bajaj delivered the sharpest jab, targeting Farrhana Bhatt: “Vish ki baat ho aur Farrhana ki baat na ho, toh aisa ho hi nahi sakta. But tu itni important nahi hai, waapas baith ja. (If we’re talking about poison and don’t mention Farrhana, that’s impossible. But you’re not that important, go sit back down).”

Amaal Mallik took a more diplomatic approach, giving the antidote to Ashnoor Kaur and calling her the “leader of the group.” Elvish added, “Iske toh kitna bhi antidote dedo, khatam na hona zeher. (No matter how much antidote you give her, the poison won’t end).”

As the episode concluded, Salman stirred the house by calling Neelam and Zeishan to the mukhya dwaar for a supposed eviction—only to reveal it was a prank—leaving contestants relieved and viewers laughing.
