FWICE President BN Tiwari demands Elvish Yadav’s removal from Laughter Chefs 2, citing legal controversies and negative influence.
BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), has taken a firm stand against Elvish Yadav’s participation in the upcoming season of Laughter Chefs 2. Tiwari has formally urged the channel to remove Yadav from the show, citing his controversial past and the negative influence he could have on the youth.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the channel, Tiwari condemned the promotion of Elvish Yadav, pointing out his history of controversial actions. “We strongly condemn the promotion of Mr. Elvish Yadav. As you are well aware, he has made racial comments against Bigg Boss 18 contestant Chum Darang and has faced significant backlash on social media,” Tiwari wrote.
Further elaborating on his concerns, Tiwari highlighted the multiple legal cases filed against Yadav, including his alleged involvement in a snake venom rave party case and violations of the Wildlife Act in Noida. “Several cases have been registered against him, including his arrest in the snake venom rave party case. He also faces legal charges for allegedly arranging snake venom at rave parties,” the letter stated.
The FWICE president stressed that allowing Yadav—a widely followed social media personality—to appear on a mainstream show could send the wrong message to young viewers. He emphasized the responsibility of media platforms in shaping societal values, urging the channel to reconsider their decision. “He is widely followed by the youth of our nation, and his actions highly influence them to engage in illegal activities. We strongly condemn all his acts that go against the welfare of society and the values of our country,” Tiwari asserted.
In his final appeal, Tiwari made a direct request to the channel to sever ties with Yadav, citing the need to prioritize ethical responsibility. “We strongly object to Colors Channel promoting Elvish Yadav and request you to discontinue your association with him for the betterment of society and the nation. We hope you understand the severity of the matter and our concerns. We look forward to your immediate and necessary action.”
The letter has sparked widespread debate, with many awaiting a response from the channel regarding Elvish Yadav’s participation in Laughter Chefs 2. As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the showrunners will comply with FWICE’s demand or stand by their decision to feature Yadav in the upcoming season.
