'Vish' and wit collide on Bigg Boss 19! Salman Khan roasts Elvish Yadav over snake venom scandal

In the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, host and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan turned up the entertainment quotient as he welcomed Elvish Yadav, winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2. The special guest’s arrival came with a cleverly crafted task featuring fake venom, a tongue-in-cheek nod to Elvish’s recent snake venom controversy.

Salman Welcomes Elvish with a Stinging Remark

As Elvish made his entry, Salman greeted him with his trademark wit, saying, “Please welcome Elvish Yadav. Ekdum system hang kar dena (Completely crash the system).”

In response, Elvish confidently quipped, “Gharwalon ke andar jo vish hai, uska ilaaj karne aaya hoon (I’ve come to cure the poison inside the housemates).”

Without missing a beat, Salman fired back with a teasing line that stole the moment: “Vish se toh aapka purana naata hai (You’ve had a long-standing connection with poison),” cleverly referencing the controversy that had surrounded Elvish earlier this year.

Laughing it off, Elvish replied, “Kaafi (a lot),” prompting Salman to add another punch: “But I didn’t know you can fix it too. You have the antidote.”

All About The Venom Controversy

For those unfamiliar, Elvish Yadav was previously caught in a legal tussle after being accused of involvement in a rave party where snake venom was allegedly used. While his legal team has maintained his innocence, the matter remains under scrutiny, especially after the Allahabad High Court refused to quash the chargesheet earlier this May.

Inside the House: The “Poison and Antidote” Task

Continuing the theme, Elvish introduced a dramatic task titled “Poison and Antidote.” He began by saying, “Pranit bhai ko lagta hai mere andar bahut vish hai. Aap logon ko batana hai kiske andar ka vish aap nikalna chahte ho. (Pranit thinks I have a lot of poison in me. You all must decide whose poison you’d like to extract).”

The task quickly escalated, leading to intense exchanges and candid confessions. Zeishan Quadri handed the antidote to Kunickaa Sadanand, commenting, “Agar yahan huye hain 100 mudde, toh 95 mein Kunickaa ji hai. (If there have been 100 issues here, Kunickaa has been part of 95).”

Adding spice, Abhishek Bajaj took a jibe at Farrhana Bhatt, saying, “Vish ki baat ho aur Farrhana ki baat na ho, toh aisa ho hi nahi sakta. But tu itni important nahi hai, waapas baith ja (If we’re talking about poison and don’t mention Farrhana, that’s impossible. But you’re not that important, go sit back down).”

Meanwhile, Amaal Mallik kept things balanced by giving the antidote to Ashnoor Kaur, calling her the leader of the group.

Elvish, never one to miss a witty punchline, added, “Iske toh kitna bhi antidote dedo, khatam na hona zeher (No matter how much antidote you give her, the poison won’t end).”

Salman’s Classic Prank to End the Night

As the episode neared its finale, Salman Khan turned prankster, calling Neelam and Zeishan to the 'mukhya dwaar' for what seemed like an eviction. Moments later, he revealed it was all in jest- sending waves of relief through the housemates and laughter through the audience.
