Key Facts
Kannada superstar Yash, known for the KGF franchise, had once stated in a 2014 interview on Ramesh Aravind's talk show 'Weekend With Ramesh' that he avoids doing scenes that would make his parents uncomfortable. His wife, Radhika Pandit, would often laugh at his romantic performances. These old comments have resurfaced after the teaser of his upcoming film 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' was released, which carries an adult-oriented warning.
Yash on Romantic Scenes and Family Comfort
During the interview, Yash revealed that he gets nervous while shooting romantic scenes and that people, including his wife Radhika, would laugh at him. He shared his personal rule: "Till date, I follow this. If I am not comfortable watching a particular scene with my parents in the same room, then I won’t do a scene like that. Mostly because it would get uncomfortable for many viewers." He also mentioned that his mother would tell him he doesn't know how to do romantic scenes, and he would 'freak out' when asked to pull on the heroine's saree.
Fans Recall Yash's Statements Amid Toxic Teaser Controversy
With the release of the 'Ladies & Ladies' teaser for 'Toxic', which explicitly advises children to stay away, fans have revisited Yash's old statements. Some social media users questioned the apparent contradiction, with one writing, "But but Yash said he would never do the movies which will make his parents uncomfortable." Others defended Kiara Advani, who faces criticism for her role in the film, pointing out the double standard: "Yash is married, has two children, and even had a love marriage with his wife. Yet no one will question him because India is still a male dominated society. Here, it's only a woman's character that is put under scrutiny, while a man's is rarely questioned."
