YouTuber Elvish Yadav, who won Bigg Boss OTT season 2, has recently made a surprising claims. During an appearance on Shehnaaz Gill's chat show, he stated that he has not yet received the cash prize of Rs 25 lakh that he was supposed to receive on winning the Salman Khan hosted show. The conversation between Elvish and Shehnaaz began when the latter asked him about buying a third phone since he was already seen with two.
In response, Elvish mentioned that he already owns three phones and humorously added that he will buy a fourth phone when the Bigg Boss makers send him the Rs 25 lakh prize money ("Chautha bhi lenge, jab bigg boss vaale Rs 25 lakh bhej denge). Shehnaaz Gill expressed her shock at this revelation, remarking, " (Ye toh galat hai) This is wrong."
Elvish Yadav created history by becoming the first wild card contestant to win Bigg Boss OTT 2. Even though he entered the show mid-way, his immense popularity helped him lift the trophy by defeating Abhishek Malhan. He claimed to have received an astounding 28 crore votes in just 15 minutes after the finale episode. However, despite his victory, it appears that there have been delays or issues regarding the prize money, which has left him with doubts about receiving it.
