Elvish Yadav and Tejasswi Prakash lock horns during a recent episode of Playground Season 5 as they debate team swaps and mentoring choices. The dispute escalates when Elvish tells his team Tejasswi is “biased from the start,” and Tejasswi immediately challenges the claim. Their argument also includes back-and-forth remarks about who teaches and how others’ teams should be treated.

Following the exchange, Karan Kundrra—Tejasswi’s boyfriend—posts a music video that social media users link to the fight. He appears to make a light, indirect jab at Elvish, using a Punjabi lyric that is interpreted as referring to “the younger brother” and “bhabhi” getting into a disagreement. Times of India and Free Press Journal both describe the central cause as Elvish accusing Tejasswi of favoritism/favoring one side during the mentor clashes.

Playground Season 5 features mentors Elvish Yadav, Tejasswi Prakash, and Aarush Bhola, with the season premiering on August 1, 2026 and episodes released daily on MX Player.
