The ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ saga in Uttar Pradesh has taken a personal turn, with popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss 19 participant Mridual Tiwari publicly rebuking those tarnishing his name alongside his sister Prakati Tiwari, the film’s leading lady. In a detailed Instagram rant, he categorically denied any connection to the contentious movie amid escalating protests.
From street demonstrations to police complaints, the backlash stems from claims that the film’s narrative and title demean the Yadav community’s image. FIRs target the entire production team, and cinema operators face warnings of intensified agitation if screenings occur locally.
‘I respect everyone’s feelings and stand with those objecting to the title—go ahead and get it changed,’ Mridual stated firmly. He lamented the futility of reasoning with uninformed accusers flooding his feeds with vitriol and threats, despite his multiple clarifications.
This flare-up reveals deeper issues in Indian filmmaking, where regional pride clashes with creative expression. Protesters’ actions, including poster burnings, signal strong resolve, pressuring distributors to reconsider releases.
Mridual’s intervention adds a celebrity angle, potentially broadening the debate on online harassment and family-targeted trolling. As authorities monitor the situation, the film hangs in balance, exemplifying how a simple title can ignite widespread fury.
