Elvish Yadav, a popular YouTuber, recently became the center of social media attention after appearing in an Instagram reel alongside actress Natasa Stankovic.
The clip, showing the pair walking along a beach in a romantic setting, quickly went viral and sparked a wave of speculation and trolling. The video, however, was not a candid moment but part of a promotional campaign for Natasa’s latest song, Tere Krke.
Despite its intention as a promotional piece, the reel caught the attention of fans and critics alike, leading to heated discussions online. The situation intensified when the two were later spotted together at the Mumbai airport, adding fuel to the fire and raising questions about the nature of their relationship.
For Natasa, this project was significant, marking her first major appearance since her separation from cricketer Hardik Pandya earlier this year. While some netizens appreciated the collaboration and expressed their excitement, others wasted no time in trolling both her and Elvish.
The negative reactions varied, with some accusing them of creating a publicity stunt, while others took a more personal approach, criticizing their on-screen chemistry and Natasa’s personal life. The internet’s response highlighted how quickly a simple promotional activity can spiral into a full-blown controversy.
Elvish Yadav, however, chose not to engage directly with the trolls in a defensive manner. Instead, he embraced the humor in the situation and used it as an opportunity to show his lighthearted side.
He retweeted a fan’s supportive message criticizing the trolls and added his own cheeky comment, “Aur Free Mein Itna PR Bhi Karwa Dete Hai.” His witty response suggested that he was unbothered by the negativity, viewing the entire episode as free publicity.
This approach not only diffused some of the online tension but also earned him praise from his fans, who admired his ability to keep his cool and maintain a positive attitude amid the drama.
