#Elvisha ki kahani, meri zubani 💕
1/n

Elvish in his pre-entry interview said he'd like to be friends with Manisha. #ABHISHA were best friends, El and Aashika knew Abhi and Mani respectively from outside and all 4 naturally became best friends aka F.A.M.E aka Naagshakti
2/n

Initially with the entry of new people (Elvish and Aashika) in the group, it was fun, but I used to feel bad that #Abhisha were not getting their alone time throughout the day
3/n

Then came a day after WKV when Abhi-ya caller was shown. Idk what changed in Abhi, he spent an entire day with 🐍, and gave no time to Mani. Mani was lonely and upset all day. That night on roof net Aashika and Elvish gave Mani company ❤️
4/n

That was the night Manisha put her head on Elvish's shoulder and asked Mundi rakh sakte hain na, takleef me hai, manage kar lijiyega. El said we pretend funny, but we're the most sensitive. Main samajhta hoon. That was the beginning of #Elvisha for me 💕
5/n

I felt like Elvish was god-sent for Manisha. The day she was the loneliest, the day she needed Abhi the most, he wasn't there for her. It was El who gave her the emotional comfort that she was craving 💕
6/n

Since that day #Elvisha became partners in crime/ fun/ comedy/ entertainment. They plotted to make Avi-Falak/ Pooja/ Bebika jealous, confuse BB With mixing all couples 🤣🤣 such a fun day in LF. That was literally the day of 'Bandi Teri Romance Mera' 💕
7/n

Their comfort level and understanding grew with each passing day and I started liking #Elvisha more than #Abhisha for two reasons
1. Abhi trying to monkeybalance between Mani and 🐍
2. El giving full attention to Mani, not letting her feel lonely

El always took Mani's side
1. Jad shouting on Mani at night, El confronted him in the morning
2. Abhi chose Mani for shoe polish, El said it should have been Avi not Mani
3. Countered Pooja on Heroine selection
9/n

Unfortunately all the stands Elvish took for Manisha were behind her back, so she thought only Abhi stood by her. She didn't know how Elvish always had her back rock solid #Elvisha
10/n

Abhi, thought he called Mani A1 from day 1, didn't show it in action
1. Chose her for shoe polish
2. Took Jad's side when he shouted on Mani
3. When Mani was crying, he saw her crying but decided to sit with 🐍 instead
4. Always encouraged her to cross line with El
11/n

5. Despite her being his support system in the house, his mother gave star to Elvish for the sake of Bhaichara
6. Always kept Elvish above her
7. Fed wrong impression about El in her head
I saw #Abhisha withering with time

12/n

Elvish on the other hand understood her really well. He wasn't wrong when he said main acche se tujhe jaanta hoon. Tu waisi hai jaisi main admire karta hoon
#Elvisha
13/n

Elvish understood that her flirting was also for entertainment and played along. He also said on roof net, ye jo bhi tu kare hai ye tera kaam hai. He also appreciated her for taking shoe polish task so positively (joota company ka brand ambassador 🤣)

Twice when Manisha was nominated Elvish also did vote appeal to save her. Even though Abhi wasn't nominated, he never did any vote appeal for Mani. Clearly,
#Elvisha was going and growing much stronger than #Abhisha

15/n

With growing #Elvisha bonding, FAME was also getting stronger. Mani and Aashika used to tease Elvish, do 123 flying kiss, which El also reciprocated to, teasing him on bed, chumma teasing also started by Aashi and Mani, encouraged by Abhi
16/n

Mani was so caring that El mistook it to be liking. He had a conversation with Abhi regarding the same, Abhi said Mani has soft corner for you. He also kept asking Mani if she had feelings for El, to which she said no
But later that night,
17/n

Mani told Aashi that mazze lenge El ke and fake proposal thing happened to pull El 's leg. Later she clarified with El (baap kasam, which I trust) that it was just for fun 😊
18/n

That took a serious turn with Aashi getting eliminated. Mani continued same chumma/bedtime masti. Earlier it looked funny because it was like 2 girls teasing bhola sa ladka. But when Mani alone was doing it after Aashi left, it looked crass.
19/n

Elvish who was extremely comfortable with Manisha earlier, started feeling uncomfortable with her advances. Although deep down he knew all she was doing was for entertainment, and had no ill intentions, so he kept his friendship intact
20/n

Manisha too asked him multiple times if he feels uncomfortable and wants her to stop, he should come and talk to her first.
1. In Vimal
2. In bedroom
3. Family visit day 1
El didn't say anything back then but
21/n

Mani really felt bad that he blamed her for chumma jokes in FIR task in front of the whole house on WKV instead of taking to her personally 1on1 about his discomfort. For this, she also had to go to jail
22/n

Mani valued #Elvisha a lot and just let it go in a fun way. Things soured after family week because El's father didn't treat her well. A girl who gave his son half a roti was disrespected, the girl who gave siap water was equated with Komal di 🤦‍♀️💁‍♀️
23/n

Uncle's reaction was somehow understandable from his POV, from what was shown in the episodes, it looked like a girl was harassing his son. El also belongs to a place where samaaj- biradari matters a lot. IMO he could have used better choice of words though.
24/n

Elvish 's parents in his vlogs and an interview also had said that they liked Manisha and had voted for her (this was pre-flirting days of #Elvisha).
His sudden liking for 🐍 was unimaginable and completely unjustified IMO
25/n

After uncle left, Elvish went looking for Manisha, fed her, spent time with her, made her feel comfortable because deep down he valued #Elvisha and knew that his father unknowingly misjudged Mani
26/n

On day1 of family visit when Abhi's mom entered, El was crying in a corner. Mani was the only one who went to El to comfort him with a hug, also tried to make him laugh with silly jokes
#Elvisha
27/n

Somewhere I feel #Elvisha's flirting had 2 sides:
1. El would sometimes play along and flirt back which was really cute and healthy.
2. Sometimes he would respond weirdly in rude way, and that made things awkward

Like El said, Jhel legi mere mood swings 💕

I think Mani too got confused sometimes as to where to draw the line, because El would respond differently to same joke under different situations, depending on time, who's around, his mood etc. Sometimes Mani did cross the line, but they valued eachother and patch up
29/n

Mani was clear in her head that #Abhisha was her first priority and #Elvisha came second. Probably because she didn't know all that El did for her behind her back or silently without shouting and jataoing to her, or may be she was brainwashed by Abhi who was more vocal
30/n

Not that she lied to Elvish about that at any point. Whatever she said about El behind his back, she had also said the same on his face. That was the level of understanding between them. It is this transparency that made #Elvisha strong.

El too was extremely protective of Mani. From warning her about Jad, passing her shawl, to helping her with her chores in kitchen, remembering about the balm for her headache, to simplest things like holding the door for her 💕
#Elvisha was pure, no pretence, no filters
31/n

El gave her friendship band 💕
Didn't she deserve one from Abhi too, if he calls her his number 1? Abhi lost a lot in his acts of balancing relationships.
Again reaffirmimg
#Elvisha >>> #Abhisha
32/n

Every time they had a spat, El would be looking at her from distance, sit all quiet, LF would be super depressing. As soon as they patched up, he would be back in his form, laughing his heart out, doing masti. Only with Mani, we saw his naak sikudne wali laughter from heart
33/n

El too knows without Mani his journey would have been incomplete. Abhi would have easily survived without Mani because he had different equations with many housemates. El was closest to Mani, #Elvisha's vibe and comic timing matched perfectly like 2 pieces of a puzzle
34/n

Mani brought out the best in him, his fun/caring/lovable/entertaining side. Without her, El would be sitting in a corner sharing life-experience with Pooja or fighting with Avi/🐍/others in the house with cracking some jokes here and there. Would LF be fun without #Elvisha?
35/n

For 2 days, idk what changed in El, he started spending more time with 🐍, he looked so negative. He kept arguing with Mani on the andar and bahar ke behavior me difference. Mani too couldn't explain properly because El wasn't receptive to her explanation.
36/n

Mani was right, because our behavior and language in front of our bade buzurg is different from what it is in front of friends. But El wasn't understanding her POV.
🐍 was taking benefit of this misunderstanding between #Elvisha by filling his ears against Mani
37/n

At the same time, Mani was being pumped by Abhi on his anti- wildcard narrative increasing the rift between #Elvisha

Finally 🐍 got eliminated and things got normalized between #Elvisha. I felt bad that he hugged other 3, and didn't hug Mani when top5 were announced

But then I saw Urfi wala #Elvisha hug 🤗
That hug was sukoon personified 💕
Every time I watch that video of their hug, i cry
40/n

Abhi probably was her physical comfort which El could never be, and that's understandable because when I feel low, I too feel the need to be held and hugged tight.
But El understood her emotionally much better than Abhi. El always knew when she'd be upset or low
41/n

Even the last spat between #Elvisha was not really because of any issue between them. Mani was upset because Abhi was sitting hand in hand with 🐍. Bill bichare El pe phat gaya. El would never leave Mani alone in her low times, he always sensed her mood
42/n

El would try his best to guide her/cheer her up/motivate her in all her bad times. Unlike Abhi, El always insisted ki akele me samjhaunga tujhe baad me. That's true friendship of #Elvisha
43/n

Mani was blamed for aag lagaoing but to the contrary, she always was the one pacifying El during heated arguments.
She had also warned him about Avi/Falak/🐍's intentions to instigate him to utter wrong words which they could use against him later
Sadly, El didn't remember
44/n

And blamed Mani for Bebika episode in Vimal. Actual situation was exaggerated by 🐍 who went on other side and told Pooja etc. 🐍's chugli was to be blamed for the whole fiasco

Through thick and thin, despite all misunderstandings, #Elvisha has stood the test of time, hope it continues to grow stronger.
46/n

Having said that, do I think #Elvisha has a future? Will there be a happily ever after? Probably not.
They're both beautiful individuals but I think they have different expectations from life, different trajectories, different goals
47/n

Realistically speaking, I hope to see #Elvisha as BFFs IRL and wish we see them do projects together in the future. I wish them qll the love luck happiness and success in life 💕

@Tanviskale 3. When Ashi and Mani were nominated, Abhi said Mani will go, El had trust in Mani, he also did vote appeal for her during that nomination
4. El also congratulated Mani for being in finale even though she was nominated against strong competitors

@Tanviskale 5. El also asked Mani before TTF task, tere liye haar jaau?

He truely cared but never spoke in words. Abhi was all words, actions spoke otherwise.
