Elvish Yadav On How He Shed His ‘Bad Boy’ Image And Won People Over

MUMBAI- Actor and content creator Elvish Yadav, who is one of the mentors on the fifth season of the streaming reality show ‘Playground’, has opened up about the change in public perception of him, saying a “chain of misunderstandings” had earlier created a “bad boy” image in people’s minds.

He said people had misconceptions about his personality, which eventually shaped the way they viewed him. However, he is glad that the perception has now changed.

“It was because of misunderstandings. In life, I have been always like this. People used to make fun of me in between. So that experience has taught me that this is how it is. That’s how people are looking at me,” he said.

Actor Tejasswi Prakash, who is also a mentor on ‘Playground’, then pulled his leg, suggesting that the change was because of friends like her.

“Your friends have changed,” she said.

“Yes, my friends have changed,” Elvish responded.

Tejasswi again interjected, saying, “They have put some good things in his minds. And he has started doing good things”.

Replying in a sassy vein, Elvish said, “Thank you Teja. She’s right. Since she came into my life, my life has changed. Earlier, people used to think I’m such a useless person. Now staying with her, they say I’m really useless. So, this change has come in my life”.

‘Playground’ season 5 brings together gaming, entertainment, competition and influencer culture, with young creators, gamers and internet personalities competing in a series of challenges. The show is streaming on Amazon MX Player. (IANS)
