After the Bigg Boss 18 finale in Mumbai, social media influencer and national-level weightlifter Rajat Dalal addressed questions about whether Elvish Yadav, Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, contributed to his elimination. Rajat, who emerged as the second runner-up, emphasized that Elvish is like a brother to him, stating, “Elvish is above the Bigg Boss trophy for me.”
In the grand finale held on January 19, Karan Veer Mehra claimed the title and Rs 50 lakh prize, with Vivian Dsena as the first runner-up. Despite falling short of the trophy, Rajat maintained a positive outlook, expressing gratitude for his journey and support system.
Elvish’s Role and Media Controversy
Elvish Yadav, a popular YouTuber and Rajat’s close ally, had entered the Bigg Boss house to support him. During a media interaction episode, Elvish caused a stir by accusing journalists of being “paid media” for allegedly favoring other contestants like Karan and Chum Darang. This led to a heated exchange.
When asked if Elvish’s statements impacted his chances, Rajat calmly replied, “I was in the house, and I’ll understand the full picture now that I’m out. Whatever people think, I can’t control it.”
Rajat on Elvish: “Our Bond Is Above Everything”
Addressing the media, Rajat praised Elvish’s unwavering support, saying, “Elvish is my brother for life. A trophy can never surpass the bond we share. What others say can’t alter our memories or relationship.”
When questioned about Elvish’s remarks against journalists, Rajat explained, “I didn’t say anything. If Elvish felt that way, it’s his perspective.”
Elvish, who actively campaigned for Rajat, even announced gifts worth Rs 1.5 crore for fans if Rajat had won. Despite the outcome, their camaraderie remains unshaken, showcasing the power of true friendship.
