Just a few days back, social media was buzzing with a photo of YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani and actress-model Elli AvrRam, captioned simply “Finally”?
Everyone thought it was a big announcement- perhaps they were finally dating!
But as it turns out, it was all part of a super smart, but somewhat tricky, plan.
Let’s break down what happened.

It all started with that single, suspenseful word: “Finally”.
Ashish posted a cozy picture with Elli, and fans immediately began to wonder if they were a new couple, about to collaborate on something big, or even if it was just a prank.
The internet exploded with speculation, and many fans were genuinely happy for them.
The buzz only grew stronger!
Days later, a video surfaced of Elli AvrRam being congratulated by paparazzi about the viral post.
She smiled, blushed, and responded with a simple “Thank you,” even adding a trendy finger heart gesture.
This made everyone think the dating rumors were true!
Ashish and Elli then shared another post where he joked about being her “spot boy,” pretending to adjust her hat and even humorously asking if he could push her off a bridge.
They looked very comfortable and close, which further fueled the curiosity.
Ashish even posted an Instagram story comparing Elli in a black dress to a Filmfare trophy.
This prolonged silence and playful interaction made many believe a real relationship was blooming.
The Big Reveal: It Was All for “Chandaniya”!
After about a week of keeping everyone guessing, the truth finally came out.
Ashish Chanchlani and Elli AvrRam were not dating.
All those viral posts and videos were part of a carefully planned promotional stunt for their new romantic music video called “Chandaniya”!
The song, “Chandaniya,” features vocals by Vishal Mishra, lyrics by Sayeed Quadri, and music composed by Mithoon.
It was shot in an international location and tells a romantic story about Ashish playing a man working abroad who misses his partner, played by Elli.
She surprises him on his birthday, and they reunite in a series of beautiful scenes.
Ashish’s Comments and Fan Reactions
While the song itself gained a lot of appreciation, the way it was promoted left some fans feeling disappointed.
Many felt “deceived” by the marketing trick.
Adding to the controversy, Ashish Chanchlani made a comment during an Instagram live session about why he would never date Elli AvrRam.
He joked, “Mujhe paagal kutte ne nahi kaata hai. Kyonki Elli ke saath kaam karna, sher ke much me haath dalne wala kaam hai,” which means he compared working with her to putting a hand inside a lion’s mouth.
This comment sparked significant backlash from netizens who found it rude and disrespectful. Some users wrote, “Beta usko to puch le wo karegi date ki nahi. She is too beautiful for you” and “When you couldn’t have them, you chose disrespect over grace”.
However, Ashish later clarified his remark, saying he had said it in “masti mazak mein” (in fun and jest) and that his comment was “taken out of context”.
Who is Elli AvrRam?
If you’re wondering more about Elli AvrRam, she is a Swedish-Greek actress.
Born Elisabet Avramidou Granlund in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1990, she moved to Mumbai, India, in 2012 to pursue a career in Bollywood. Her mother, Maria Granlund, is an actress who even had a part in Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander.
She gained prominence after participating as a contestant in the Indian reality TV show Bigg Boss in 2013. She is also known for her work in films like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon and her special appearance in the song “Har Funn Maula” with Aamir Khan.
Conclusion
In the end, what seemed like a blossoming romance turned out to be a clever curtain-raiser for a new music video.
This whole situation was a bit like a magic show.
The magician (Ashish and Elli) made you believe something incredible was happening (a real romance), building up the suspense with exciting teases.
But then, poof! they revealed it was all an illusion (a music video promotion) to surprise and entertain you in a different way, even if some in the audience felt a little tricked at first.
It shows how celebrities and their teams use unique ways to get everyone’s attention for their projects.
