Superstar Yash rose to fame after the KGF series. Yash became a nationwide sensation after the humongous success of KGF. KGF changed the face of Kannada Cinema and represented it on a global level. Post KGF, Yash developed a solid fan following across Hindi, Tamil and Telugu belts.
Yash got the tag of a Superstar and his birthday celebrations are no less than a festival. Yash turned 38 yesterday. This year’s birthday celebrations were something which Yash and fans would like to forget. There were some shocking incidents which left Yash upset.
3 fans of Yash died of electrocution while putting up a banner of Yash in their area. This incident took place at Surangi village in Laxmeshwar Taluka of Gadag District. These fans were trying to put up a banner where the rods of the banner were made of steel and mistakenly touched the high voltage electric wire.
Out of 3, 2 of them died on the spot and one took his last breath in hospital. 3 fans of Yash have been identified as Hanumanth Harijan aged 21, Murali Naduvinamani aged 20 and Naveen Gaji aged 19.
As soon as the news reached Yash, he went to meet the families of fans who died and consoled them.
Yash issued a statement which read as, “If you wish me wholeheartedly, from wherever you are, that is the best gesture for me. Tragic incidents like these make me fear my own birthday. This is not how you show fandom.”
“Please don’t show your love like this. I want to request you all. Don’t hang banners, don’t do bike chases and take dangerous selfies; my intention is for all of my audience and fans to grow in life as I do. If you are a true fan of mine, then do your work diligently, dedicate your life to yourself and be happy and successful. You are the ones who mean everything to your families, you should aim to make them proud.”
“I don’t like to demonstrate popularity by exhibiting the love of my fans. I will always keep the showcasing to a minimum even if my fans are upset about it. But my intention is not to disappoint anyone. If you respect me, then be responsible first. Parents are waiting for you at home. It is not about monetary support that one can extend, but we cannot bring back the dead.”
“This year, I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday because COVID cases are rising. There shouldn’t be any harm from our end. That’s why I kept it simple and decided to celebrate only with my family.”
