Rocking Star Yash, who rose to global stardom with the KGF franchise, has always enjoyed a special bond with his fans. As the year comes to an end, the star urges his fans to prioritize their safety and mindfulness during celebrations, particularly his birthday. He emphasized that his happiness lies in knowing that his fans are thriving and pursuing their goals, rather than engaging in extravagant displays.
In a heartfelt letter addressed to his fans, Yash emphasized the need to change the way love is expressed. He reflected on the unfortunate incidents that occurred during his birthday celebrations in the past, tragically resulting in the loss of lives.
Earlier this year on his last birthday (2024), three of his fans in the Gadag district of Karnataka lost their lives while erecting a large birthday cutout.The actor had immediately traveled to meet the bereaved families, offering support and condolences. After this tragic event, Yash urged his fans to refrain from hanging banners, engaging in dangerous bike chases, and taking reckless selfies. He insisted that these actions were not a genuine expression of love.
In a media interview, Yash stated, “If you are a true fan of mine, then do your work diligently, dedicate your life to yourself, and be happy and successful.”
In another incident in 2019, a fan tragically self-immolated after being unable to meet Yash on his birthday. Even then, Yash appealed to his fans that such actions were not a true reflection of fandom and implored them never to resort to such drastic measures.
Ahead of his birthday this year, he is taking a proactive step to protect his fans’ safety. He made a sincere plea for restraint, emphasizing that their safety and well-being were the greatest gifts he could ever receive.
Yash is currently filming ‘Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-ups.’ Jointly produced by Venkat K Narayana and Yash under KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the upcoming film has generated significant excitement and anticipation. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, this ambitious project promises to be a massive entertainer for the audiences.
