The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and Roadies XX champion has closed the door on any future with Prince Narula — firmly, publicly, and without apology. Here is everything that led to this moment.Three words. That is all it took for Elvish Yadav to end what was once described as a bhaichara — a brotherhood — with Prince Narula. When a journalist asked the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and MTV Roadies XX champion whether he would ever work with Prince again, his reply was unambiguous: "I don't want to." No elaboration. No diplomatic softening. The door, it turns out, does not just appear closed — it has been bolted from the inside.
Why This Matters
Elvish Yadav commands over 15.8 million YouTube subscribers and won Bigg Boss OTT 2 as a wildcard — the first to do so. Prince Narula is a four-time Roadies champion and one of Indian reality television's most recognisable faces. When two of the genre's biggest names declare a permanent falling out, it reshapes the ecosystem of collaborations, brand deals, and future show bookings that surround them both.
Where It All Started: Roadies XX Double Cross
MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross, which aired through early 2025 and concluded its finale on June 1, 2025, was the twentieth season of one of India's longest-running youth reality franchises. Among its gang leaders were Elvish Yadav and Prince Narula — two men with enough individual fan armies to fill stadiums, and apparently enough ego friction to light a room.
Their clashes were not scripted tiffs designed for TRP drama. Sources close to the production and subsequent media interviews make clear that the tension was genuine. On-set arguments between the two gang leaders repeatedly crossed from competitive banter into something far more personal, with Prince allegedly targeting Elvish on matters that had nothing to do with the show.
The flashpoint that drew the loudest public outcry came during a heated argument when Prince made a remark about Elvish's personal life — specifically about whether Elvish would ever have children. The comment, now widely circulated in clipped form online, read: "Tere bacche ho bhi na, aisa na ho jaaye" — loosely translated as a wish that Elvish may never have children. The clip went viral almost immediately, drawing furious responses from fans and celebrity commentators alike, many calling it deeply inappropriate and shameful.
"Personal jaana, below the belt hit karna — wo sab maine chod diya. Main bhi kar sakta tha. Karne ko koi bhi kar sakta hai. But wo maine chod diya."— Elvish Yadav, speaking on Mr. Faisu's YouTube channel
In plain terms, Elvish acknowledged that he, too, could have gone personal — but chose not to. That restraint, he makes clear, does not mean forgiveness.
A Timeline of Attempts, Patch-Ups, and Fresh Wounds
What makes this feud particularly layered is that both men genuinely tried — more than once — to put it behind them. The effort was real; the results, repeatedly, were not.

The Music Video That Changed Nothing
Perhaps the most telling detail in this saga is the music video. At some point during their attempts at reconciliation, Elvish and Prince actually collaborated on a music video together — a tangible, professional investment in moving past their differences. It should have been a symbol of renewal.
Instead, according to Elvish, Prince went back to stirring old grievances after the project was wrapped. For Elvish, this appears to have been the final straw. Having extended good faith across Instagram Lives, a shared video, conversations with mutual contacts, and even a professional collaboration, only to see it undone each time — his patience, by his own account, simply ran out.
"Jab bhaichara tha, bahut acha tha. Jab nai hai, toh mei baar baar mauke nai deta."— Elvish Yadav, India Today interview, 2025
Translation: "When there was brotherhood, it was great. Now that it's gone, I won't keep giving chances." The bitterness here is not hot-tempered rage. It is something colder and more considered — the conclusion of someone who believes he has been patient enough and is done.
Prince Narula's Side of the Story
It would be unfair to this story to present only one perspective. Prince Narula has spoken too, and his version of events is markedly different.
In an interview with fellow reality TV personality Paras Chhabra, Prince addressed the ongoing dispute and made a serious claim: that Elvish had allegedly incited his fan base to target Prince's family — including his infant daughter, born via IVF in October 2024 with wife Yuvika Chaudhary. Prince called Elvish a "chapri" and expressed dismay that the feud had been allowed to spill onto innocent family members.
Prince also noted that he had not taken Elvish's rising fame as a threat, stating he was not even particularly familiar with Elvish before the latter's Bigg Boss appearance. This framing — of a senior, seasoned Roadies veteran being unnecessarily targeted by someone with a chip on their shoulder — stands in direct contrast to Elvish's portrayal of Prince as the aggressor who repeatedly went below the belt.
Neither man has accused the other of anything legally actionable. But between "he went below the belt first" and "he sicced his fans on my baby daughter," there is very little neutral ground left.
Elvish Yadav openly stated that he would not collaborate with Prince Narula again, reigniting discussions around their long-running feud that began on Roadies XX.

What the Three Words Actually Mean — For Both Careers
Elvish Yadav's "I don't want to" lands differently from a typical celebrity falling out because of who both men are within the Indian reality television space.
- For Elvish: His gang member Kushal "Gullu" Tanwar won Roadies XX. He has won Bigg Boss OTT 2 as a wildcard, led a winning cricket team in the ECL, and continues to grow his YouTube presence past 15.8 million subscribers. He does not need Prince Narula's proximity to validate his position in the entertainment ecosystem.
- For Prince: He is one of the most decorated names in Roadies history — a winner of Roadies X2, Splitsvilla 8, and multiple other formats. But his credibility as a senior figure in the space has taken a hit from the "tere bacche" remark, which drew near-universal online condemnation.
- For future collaborations: Both men appear in reality formats regularly. Any future season that books both would carry the weight of this unresolved conflict — which is either a producer's nightmare or, frankly, exactly the kind of guaranteed drama that gets greenlit.
- For fans: The fan armies on both sides have been vocal throughout. Elvish's supporters have been particularly active on social media, and Prince's claims about fan-driven trolling of his family point to the dark side of what celebrity feuds can enable.
Who Are These Two Men, Beyond the Fight?
For readers less familiar with the Indian reality TV space, a brief grounding is useful.
Elvish Yadav (born September 14, 1997, Haryana) is a YouTuber-turned-reality star who launched his channel in 2016 after drawing inspiration from creators like Harsh Beniwal. He made history on Bigg Boss OTT 2 in 2023 as the first wildcard contestant to win the trophy. His Haryanvi Hunters team won the inaugural Entertainers Cricket League in 2024. He now has over 15.8 million YouTube subscribers and more than 1.61 billion views. He came into Roadies XX as one of the season's marquee gang leaders and left with his gang member holding the trophy.
Prince Narula (born 1990, Chandigarh) is a multiple-time Roadies champion who first won Roadies X2 in 2015, followed by Splitsvilla 8, and has been a gang leader across several subsequent seasons. He is married to actress Yuvika Chaudhary, with whom he welcomed a daughter via IVF in October 2024. He is one of the most recognisable faces of the Roadies franchise and has appeared in music videos, web series, and television dramas.
What Happens Next?
Based on what both men have said publicly, there is no reconciliation on the immediate horizon. Elvish has been explicit that he is not interested in one. Prince has not extended an olive branch in any recent interview. Their individual careers continue on parallel tracks — both are active, both are visible, and both are likely to keep appearing in reality formats that could, at any point, put them in the same room again.
The more interesting question is what this says about the reality TV ecosystem itself. These are two men who came up through the same franchise, were placed in the same show as equals, and found that the pressure of those circumstances cracked something that had once been genuine warmth. Prince reportedly called Elvish his younger brother before Roadies XX. Elvish used the same language — bhaichara — to describe what they once had.
