Yash Recalls Humble Beginnings Before Becoming a Film Star
Yash ran a provision store, was embarrassed to ride dad’s old scooter: ‘Everyone had bikes’ · indianexpress.com

Yash was not always a famous movie star.

His family had little money, and his father worked as a bus driver.

While in college, Yash felt embarrassed because other students had expensive vehicles and clothes.

He used his father’s old scooter and also ran a small provision store to help his family.

At one point, he said he even had to sleep at a bus stand.

Instead of giving up, he decided to work hard until he became successful.

He later learned that confidence and determination are more important than owning expensive things.

Yash began with small acting roles and eventually became a major film star.

He is now appearing in Toxic and working on Ramayana.
