In the world of Indian reality TV, controversy is never far away. But the ongoing clash between YouTube sensation Elvish Yadav and reality show veteran Prince Narula on MTV Roadies has sparked one of the most heated debates the show has seen in recent years. From fan wars to trending hashtags, the internet is divided. So, what exactly happened?
The Spark: How It All Began
Elvish Yadav, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, joined Roadies Season 20 as a gang leader alongside Prince Narula. At first, their chemistry appeared neutral, but behind-the-scenes tension had been brewing for a while.
The real conflict started when Elvish Yadav criticized Prince Narula’s aggressive approach towards contestants and his supposed favouritism. During one of the episodes, Elvish Yadav publicly called out Prince Narula, saying:
“Prince bhai sabko chance nahi dete. Unka attitude toxic ho gaya hai.”
In response, Prince, known for his commanding screen presence, didn’t hold back. He shot back at Elvish saying:
“Roadies chalana tere bas ka nahi hai, bro. Tu YouTube par hi thik hai.”
This exchange, caught on camera, immediately went viral on social media and escalated into a fan war between the two giants’ followers.

Not Just One Fight: The Build-Up
Insiders reveal this wasn’t a one-off spat. Apparently, creative differences between Elvish Yadav and Prince Narula had been simmering even before the season began. Elvish Yadav wanted to bring a “reality plus logic” approach, while Prince was sticking to traditional Roadies aggression.
In a post-show vlog, Elvish Yadav said:
“Main show mein entertain karna chah raha tha, lekin wahan ek hi gang leader sab par overpower karta tha.”
Though no names were mentioned, fans quickly assumed he was targeting Prince.
Social Media War: #TeamPrince Narula vs #TeamElvish Yadav
As the clips of their fight aired, social media exploded with reactions. Hashtags like #ElvishYadavVsPrinceNarula, #RoadiesDrama, and #TeamElvish started trending across Twitter and Instagram.
Elvish’s fans called Prince “outdated” and accused him of being insecure about Elvish’s rising stardom. One fan tweeted:
Prince can’t handle the fact that Elvish gets more screen time and public love without being toxic. That’s the truth.”
Meanwhile, Prince’s loyal followers defended him, saying Elvish was acting arrogant and disrespectful towards a senior. Another user posted:
“Elvish may be a trending YouTuber, but Prince built Roadies’ legacy. Show some respect.”
Instagram was full of meme reels mocking both sides — Elvish Yadav fans edited Bigg Boss scenes to show him “owning” Prince Narula, while Prince fans used Roadies Revolution clips to show his leadership dominance.

Emotional Fallout: Not Just Entertainment
The feud quickly moved beyond the show. Some fans started digging up past interviews, where Prince had openly appreciated Elvish. Others accused the show’s makers of scripting the drama to boost TRPs.
Amidst this, Elvish Yadave’s mother also trended briefly when she liked a tweet that supported her son and criticized Prince Narula. This further intensified the situation, leading fans to believe the clash had turned personal.
Though Elvish Yadav later posted a story saying:
“It’s just a show guys. Don’t spread hate. Much love to everyone,”
Prince did not publicly address the matter again after the initial episodes.
The TRP Game: Did the Feud Work?
From an entertainment business perspective, the feud did wonders. The episode featuring their fight clocked one of the highest viewerships of the season. Several media channels covered the drama, and even neutral viewers tuned in “just to see the fight.”
Insiders say the producers had to call both gang leaders in for a closed-door talk post the shoot. The goal: calm tensions and ensure the conflict doesn’t derail the rest of the season.
What This Means for Roadies and Indian Reality TV
The Elvish Yadav-Prince Narula feud reflects a bigger shift in Indian reality shows — the rise of influencer power over traditional TV stars. Elvish Yadav brought with him a massive digital fanbase, while Prince Narula represents the old-school, audition-based reality stardom. Their clash wasn’t just personal; it was symbolic of the ongoing transition in Indian entertainment.
While it’s unclear whether the feud was entirely real or partly exaggerated for TRPs, it certainly worked. MTV Roadies gained buzz like never before. Gen-Z fans who hadn’t watched Roadies in years tuned in just to see Elvish, while older fans stood by Prince as the face of the franchise.

Will They Reconcile?
In recent interviews, both celebrities have avoided directly mentioning each other. Some fans believe this signals a truce. Others feel the silence only confirms deeper bitterness. Either way, the Elvish Yadav vs Prince Narula narrative has already carved its place in the legacy of Roadies Season 20.
If either star decides to quit the show mid-season (a possibility fans are speculating about), it could spark another round of headlines. Alternatively, a sudden friendly gesture between them could break the internet.
