Bigg Boss 19’s “Fans Ka Faisla” round has taken a dramatic turn after YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav publicly endorsed fellow content creator Mridul Tiwari. Through a series of Instagram Stories, Elvish called Mridul his “chhota bhai” and appealed to his massive online following to vote for him. “Mai chahta hu mera bhai game me jaaye aur jeete bhi,” Elvish said in his post, adding a personal touch that has set social media buzzing.
Mridul Tiwari, known for his comedy sketches and boasting over 18 million YouTube subscribers, is competing against Shehbaz Badesha, brother of popular Bigg Boss 13 finalist Shehnaaz Gill. Shehbaz enjoys strong industry backing, with many celebrities voicing support for him. The competition is part of the “Fans Ka Faisla” segment, where audience votes will decide which contestant enters the Bigg Boss house. The voting window remains open on the JioCinema app until August 21, 2025.
Elvish’s support is significant given his strong and loyal fan base across platforms. His emotional appeal is being viewed as a potential game-changer in what is shaping up to be a close contest. While Mridul brings grassroots popularity as a digital creator, Shehbaz benefits from Shehnaaz Gill’s massive fandom and established media connections. Industry watchers note that Elvish’s entry into the fray injects a “David vs. Goliath” element into the vote, pitting creator-led influence against celebrity lineage.
Fans of both contestants have flooded X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube with campaigns, hashtags, and vote appeals. Supporters of Mridul are amplifying Elvish’s endorsement, while Shehbaz’s backers highlight his charm and family connection to Shehnaaz Gill.
As the deadline nears, all eyes are on whether Elvish’s call to action will tip the scales in Mridul’s favour or if Shehbaz’s celebrity backing will secure him the spot in the house.
