Yash on fan deaths, explains end to birthday fan meetings
Yash is a very famous movie actor in India.
Every year on his birthday, many fans would come to his house to see him.
He used to meet them and felt happy that people loved him.
Then very sad things started happening.
In 2021, one fan got badly hurt and died because Yash was not home on his birthday.
Another fan lost a hand while putting up a big poster of Yash, and three more fans died in similar accidents.
Yash became scared and sad, so he stopped meeting fans on his birthday.
Now he asks fans to just watch his movies and work hard in their own lives instead of doing risky things for him.
He said he did not go to one fan's funeral because he feared others might copy that to get his attention.
Kannada superstar Yash revealed on Aap Ki Adalat that he stopped meeting fans on his birthday after a series of tragic incidents.
In 2021, a fan died by suicide after setting himself on fire when Yash did not come out on his birthday.
The next year a fan lost his hand while putting up a Yash banner, and three more fans later died.
Yash said he did not attend a fan's funeral because he feared it would encourage others to do the same.
He now urges fans to watch his films but not waste their lives, and to instead work hard and take care of their parents.
