In the wake of a recent firing incident at his Gurugram residence, YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav was seen celebrating his mother's birthday. The incident, which occurred in the early morning hours of August 17, 2025, involved three masked assailants who opened fire at his house, firing over a dozen rounds. Fortunately, Elvish and his family were not present at the residence during the attack and remained unharmed.
Following the unsettling event, Elvish took to Instagram to assure his fans and well-wishers that he and his family were safe. He expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of concern and support he received. Law enforcement has launched a full investigation into the incident, with authorities working to identify the suspects involved. Some reports indicate the notorious Bhau gang, allegedly led by gangster Himanshu Bhau, has claimed responsibility for the attack, supposedly due to Yadav's promotion of betting apps.
Amidst the ongoing investigation and heightened concerns, Elvish Yadav was seen celebrating his mother's birthday. Several videos and social media posts show Elvish participating in the birthday celebration. One video shows Elvish celebrating with his mother and playfully mentioning she doesn't look her age. His brother Dinesh Yadav also posted a story wishing his mother a happy birthday. Aniket Yadav, who has publicly supported Elvish, also addressed criticisms against those who showed support, emphasizing that support doesn't always have to be public.
The shooting incident has sparked discussions about influencer safety and the potential threats faced by public figures. It also raised concerns about organized crime in the region. Despite the incident, Elvish is trying to maintain a sense of normalcy and celebrate family milestones. The juxtaposition of the violent attack and the birthday celebration highlights the challenges Elvish and his family face as they navigate public life amidst security concerns.
