"Saara scene khatam hua, main andar gaya toh jo Jio ke head hain, jiska poora show hai, maalik jo hai, unhone bola, ‘Aapko pata hai 15 minutes main kitne vote aaye aapke liye?’ Maine poocha kitne, toh unhone kaha '280 million' (After the finale got over, I went inside and the head of Jio, who runs the show, asked me, ‘Do you know how many votes you received in 15 minutes?’ I asked how many, and was told I got 280 million)."

After the video was shared by BiggBoss_Tak on Twitter, now renamed as X, Elvish's fans filled the comment box with celebratory messages.

However, a few users questioned the claim he made in the video and wrote 'if it was true'. A person wrote, "Is that even possible? I think jald bazi mein Elvish ne galat number sun liya (Maybe he heard the wrong numbers)." 

Another one said, "Joke of the day!"One more also said, "Arre bhai 7 million watch kar rahe the, 280 million kahan se aaye ga 15 minute mein (If 7 million were watching the show, how did he get 280 million votes in only 15 minutes)... that is a joke..."

The Bigg Boss OTT 2 finale was held on Monday night and Abhishek Malhan stood as the first runner-up. Post the finale, Abhishek was re-admitted in the hospital as he has been keeping unwell for past few days. He even released a video from the hospital where he thanked his fans for voting for him and congratulated Elvish Yadav for the victory.
