New Delhi, June 3 (NationPress) YouTube sensation Elvish Yadav, frequently tagged as controversy’s favorite figure, has finally addressed the misconceptions surrounding the Haryanvi dialect he takes pride in. Dismissing assertions that his tone indicates arrogance, he shares the distress of being a “very misunderstood” individual.
When asked if he believes he is misinterpreted due to his ‘upright speech’ and candid outlook on life, Elvish candidly expressed to IANS: “This is exactly what I was thinking just now. I was reading something somewhere, and it said that most people think that languages like ours—like Haryanvi, which is ‘khadi’ (upright) speech—sound like the language of illiterate people. They think we don’t know how to speak properly. But that’s not true.”
Born as Siddharth Yadav, Elvish comes from Haryana and holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the esteemed Hansraj College at Delhi University.
The 28-year-old, who has triumphed in shows like “Bigg Boss OTT 2” and “MTV Roadies Double Cross”, disclosed that he was a diligent student and a top performer.
“The truth is, I’ve studied a lot. I used to study really hard. I was a topper. I cleared all my exams. I graduated from a good college—Hansraj College,” he stated.
“So I thought, suppose there’s someone from Tamil Nadu. Just like Haryana has its own language, he has his own language too—Tamil… So this is probably a misunderstanding about our language.”
He firmly believes that a common misconception exists regarding speakers of Haryanvi.
“A stereotype has been created that anyone who speaks Haryanvi—no matter how educated he is—is considered illiterate. That he doesn’t know how to speak properly. But that’s just our language. Everyone has their own. So the way I speak—that's absolutely fine. But people assume I have a big ego. Maybe I have a little, but not as much as people think,” he mentioned.
He feels understood on some levels.
“But yes, do I feel misunderstood by people? Very much. So much so that even meme pages have started saying that I’m a very misunderstood person. But I’m a good person. I swear, I’m a really good person. I swear on my mother,” he asserted.
When questioned about his anger during viral confrontations with Prince Narula on the youth-oriented reality show, he remarked: “Where does Elvish get angry? Maybe I was a bit angry on the show. But apart from that, I’ve changed a lot. I don’t get angry anymore. I really think about all this.”
