Another PR Stunt That Left Fans Confused, Ashish-Elli’s ‘Fake’ Romance
What looked like a budding romance between Ashish Chanchlani and Elli AvrRam turned out to be a cheeky PR move. Here’s how they pulled it off.
For a few days, the internet was convinced that Ashish Chanchlani and Elli AvrRam were the newest lovebirds in town. It all started with a photo where Ashish was holding Elli in his arms, with a dreamy foreign backdrop and the caption “Finally.” Fans went crazy. Was this real? Did Ashish find the one? Was Elli dating a content creator? Theories exploded.
Love Is In The Air?
Then came a funny video where Ashish cheekily introduced himself as Elli’s “spot boy” and asked if he could “push her off the bridge.” Their sweet little banter didn’t clear things up, it made people indeed more curious. And when Elli was spotted by paparazzi and asked about Ashish, she flushed and dodged the question, only fuelling the fire.
Slow Claps For Such A Clever PR Move
For almost a week, everyone was talking about them. Social media feeds were filled with memes, reactions, and gossip. But just when people started getting emotionally invested and fell into the trap, the duo revealed the real story. It was all planned, a clever marketing move to promote their new music video 'Chandaniya'.
The song, released under T-Series, tells a tender story of a man working abroad (played by Ashish) who reunites with his love (Elli) on his birthday. It’s emotional, visually stunning, and has that old-school Bollywood vibe. With Mithoon’s music, Sayeed Quadri’s lyrics, and Vishal Mishra’s soulful voice, the track hits all the right notes.
Mixed Reaction
The response online has been mixed because some fans loved the build-up, calling it a smart and fun promo strategy, while others felt a little tricked. Still, no one can deny that it worked. Ashish and Elli managed to turn a simple release into an interesting buzz-worthy moment.
Not Bad Though, Ashish-Elli Played It Smart
In an age where everyone’s fighting for attention online, this trick stood out. It was perky, mysterious, and impeccably timed. Most importantly, it reminded us that PR teams don't always need to make marketing expensive. Sometimes, all it takes is a lovey-dovey photo, a playful caption, and a bit of smart storytelling. And actually? We loved every second of it.
