Mumbai: Reality television personality Prince Narula has sparked speculation on social media after sharing a cryptic message about people who act tough behind others’ backs but remain silent when confronted face-to-face. His post has prompted some internet users to wonder whether it was aimed at Elvish Yadav, given their history of public disagreements.
Prince’s Instagram Stories appeared amid the controversy surrounding a heated exchange between Bigg Boss 20 contestants Gullu and wildcard entrant Nakul Dhull. Their confrontation, which included a threat of physical violence, has become a talking point among viewers.
However, Prince did not name anyone in his post, and there is no confirmation that his remarks were directed at Elvish. The speculation appears to stem from their previous rivalry on MTV Roadies XX and the language Prince used in his latest message.
Prince Narula’s ‘Reel Ke Gunde’ post goes viral
Prince took to Instagram Stories with a message questioning why people who boast about their strength or influence do not speak openly when they come face-to-face with someone.
“Hawabazi log piche se kyu karte hai,” he wrote, questioning why people engage in bravado behind others’ backs.
He continued: “Samne chup rehte hai reel ke gunde. Tumhari dosti bhaichara or bakiyo ke dosti ko chale bol do. Waah re duniya.”
The message criticised people whom Prince described as tough only on social media and questioned what he portrayed as a double standard in how friendships and loyalty are discussed.
The reference to “reel ke gunde” caught the attention of social media users, with some interpreting it as a possible dig at personalities known for their online presence and outspoken public image.
Elvish Yadav’s name entered the discussion because of his earlier disagreements with Prince. However, the actor and reality television personality has not explicitly identified the target of his post.
Without a direct reference, the message remains open to interpretation.
What happened between Gullu and Nakul Dhull?
The post came amid discussions surrounding a confrontation between Gullu and wildcard contestant Nakul Dhull inside the Bigg Boss 20 house.
The two contestants became involved in a heated argument that escalated when Nakul allegedly threatened Gullu with violence outside the show.
During the exchange, Nakul said, “Gurgaon mein aa ke marunga, jab bole tab,” which translates to a threat to come to Gurgaon and beat him up.
Gullu responded by referring to Nakul as a social media tough guy, saying, “Story kaa badmaash hai tu.”
The exchange drew attention because it moved beyond a disagreement inside the reality show and included a reference to a possible confrontation outside the house.
Nakul was subsequently evicted from the show, according to the supplied account. The confrontation has continued to generate discussion among viewers, with the contestants’ remarks becoming part of the wider conversation about online bravado and behaviour inside reality television programmes.
Prince’s social media post appeared in this broader context, although there is no confirmed connection between his message and the Gullu-Nakul dispute.
Why Elvish Yadav’s name has surfaced
The speculation about Elvish is linked to his previous public disagreements with Prince during MTV Roadies XX in 2025.
The two personalities were associated with different gang leaders on the show and became involved in disagreements during the competition. Their exchanges attracted attention as their rivalry developed beyond routine competition-related arguments.
One notable disagreement involved a bidding task connected to fellow gang leader Rhea Chakraborty. Prince questioned Elvish’s actions during the task, contributing to the tension between them.
The disagreement became more personal as the season progressed, with Prince later referring to Elvish as an “online badmaash” during the finale.
The phrase has resurfaced in discussions about Prince’s latest Instagram Stories because of its similarity to the “reel ke gunde” wording in his new post.
Nevertheless, the similarity does not establish that Prince was referring to Elvish this time. Neither the wording of the post nor the available context confirms the identity of the person he had in mind.
Prince and Elvish had publicly reconciled
Despite their disagreements during Roadies XX, Prince and Elvish later indicated that they had moved past their differences.
In February 2025, the two publicly reconciled and referred to each other as brothers, signalling a change from the rivalry that had attracted attention during the show.
Their reconciliation is another reason Prince’s latest message has prompted questions online. Some social media users are attempting to connect the cryptic post with their earlier history, while others may interpret it as a general comment about online behaviour and friendship.
However, a past rivalry does not establish that a new social media message is directed at the same person. Prince has not named Elvish or provided a clarification linking the post to their previous disagreements.
The possibility that the message concerns someone else, or reflects a broader frustration, therefore remains open.
Social media speculation continues
Cryptic posts from reality television personalities often attract attention because viewers attempt to connect their wording with recent incidents, past disagreements and relationships between public figures.
In Prince’s case, the timing of the post, the reference to people who act tough online and his history with Elvish have fuelled speculation.
The Gullu-Nakul confrontation has provided another possible context for the message, although Prince has not confirmed that the incident prompted him to post it.
Until he identifies the person he was referring to, any claim that the post targets Elvish would remain speculation.
The episode also highlights how disputes inside reality shows can continue to generate conversations outside the house, particularly when contestants and former participants share comments on social media.
What happens next?
Prince’s Instagram Stories have added another layer to the ongoing online discussion surrounding Bigg Boss 20 and its contestants.
The immediate trigger for the speculation is his reference to “reel ke gunde”, while the connection to Elvish stems from their disagreements on Roadies XX and Prince’s earlier description of him as an “online badmaash”.
However, Prince has not named Elvish in the latest post, and no direct confirmation has emerged that the message was aimed at him.
For now, the post remains a cryptic remark that has generated questions rather than an established accusation against a specific person. Whether Prince offers further clarification will determine if the speculation gains any additional context.
