The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19’s “Weekend Ka Vaar” delivered high-voltage drama and a strong dose of unfiltered commentary with the arrival of Elvish Yadav, the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2. Superstar host Salman Khan welcomed Elvish to the house for a special “Poison and Antidote” task, seizing the opportunity to deliver several pointed, yet humorous, digs at the YouTuber’s recent, high-profile snake venom controversy.
As Elvish made his dramatic entrance, Salman Khan greeted him with a grin and a clear reference to the YouTuber’s signature catchphrase: “Please welcome Elvish Yadav. Ekdum system hang kar dena. (Completely crash the system).” Elvish, quick to play along with the theme of the task, replied, “Gharwalon ke andar jo vish hai, uska ilaaj karne aaya hoon (I’ve come to cure the poison that’s inside the housemates).”
Salman immediately retorted with a subtle but unmistakable reference to the legal scandal that has followed Elvish: “Vish se toh aapka purana naata hai (You’ve had a long-standing connection with poison),” he quipped, bringing the controversy directly into the conversation. Elvish responded with a laugh and a concise “Kaafi (a lot),” prompting Salman to deliver the final, humorous punchline: “But I didn’t know that you can fix it too. You have the antidote.” This playful exchange set the tone for the entire segment, acknowledging the elephant in the room with Salman’s characteristic blend of sarcasm and star power.

The Task: Antidote for the House’s “Poison”
For context, Elvish Yadav became embroiled in a legal controversy earlier this year after being accused of involvement in a rave party where snake venom was allegedly distributed. Though his legal team has consistently maintained his innocence, the matter remains under investigation, especially after the Allahabad High Court refused to quash the chargesheet earlier in May.
Inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, Elvish kept the drama going by initiating the “Poison and Antidote” task. He began by framing the challenge around the house dynamics: “Pranit bhai ko lagta hai mere andar bahut vish hai. Aap logon ko batana hai kiske andar ka vish aap nikalna chahte ho. (Pranit brother thinks I have a lot of poison in me. You all have to say whose poison you’d like to extract).” The task quickly became an outlet for housemates to air their grievances, sparking emotional revelations and sharp, personal comments.
The jabs came fast and hard. Zeishan Quadri handed the antidote to Kunickaa Sadanand, saying, “Agar yahan huye hain 100 mudde, toh 95 mein Kunickaa ji hai. (If there have been 100 issues here, Kunickaa has been involved in 95 of them),” indicating her constant involvement in house drama.
The sharpest exchange came from Abhishek Bajaj, who targeted Farrhana Bhatt with biting sarcasm: “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 just not possible. But you’re not that important, go sit back down).”
Amaal Mallik, choosing a notably more diplomatic route, gave the antidote to Ashnoor Kaur, praising her as the “leader of the group.” However, Elvish couldn’t resist one final dig, chiming in with a playful counter-comment aimed at Ashnoor: “Iske toh kitna bhi antidote dedo, khatam na hona zeher (No matter how much antidote you give her, the poison won’t end),” keeping the light-hearted but unfiltered roast going.
As the episode neared its end, Salman Khan executed one final dramatic flourish by calling Neelam and Zeishan to the mukhya dwaar (main door) for a supposed eviction. This was quickly revealed to be a classic Bigg Boss prank, leaving the emotional contestants relieved and the audience highly entertained by the unexpected twist.
