Same area boys, same college, years later when I met him at his second home that is west end. Spoke for almost an hour. Till date his conduct is something that will have my respect forever. A Demi god to his fans and yet none of it on display when you meet him in person. #KGF2

Sometime in 2008, there was this terminally ill patient of mine. In a bid to make her last days happy, I’d asked her who she idolised and it was #Yash
A picture of him was brought by a staff member and we sent her home with it.#meanings

I had been to a wedding back in 2015 where Yash too had come.
He was so close to me but I didn't ask him for a selfie or a picture. I even thought what's wrong with those people who were jumping on him for selfies.
From 2018 December, I'm regretting it.#KGFChapter2 #Yash

I went to K Manju relative marriage who is some distance relative of my wife in 2017. Yash came there and crowd gathered. I was simply sitting there thinking why people are crazy as he is also a human like many. I understand now he is a blockbuster ? ??
