Yash reveals wife Radhika Pandit's reaction to intimate scenes in Toxic: 'She won’t be happy about it, but...'

Kannada star Yash awaits the release of his much-anticipated pan-India film, Toxic. The film landed in controversy right after dropping its teaser over its intimate scenes featuring Yash and others. Ahead of the film's release, Yash opened up about his wife Radhika Pandit's reaction to his bold scenes.

Yash on intimate scenes from Toxic

Joining Rajat Sharma on Aap Ki Adalat, Yash said that although his wife is an actor who understands his craft, he admitted that any partner might be uncomfortable with such scenes. However, he said that it wasn't easy for him either.

Yash said, “I think every partner would feel uncomfortable about this. I don’t want to lie. Every partner feels that way. But I think, by the end of the day, we have to understand that it’s a craft. It’s an art, and what we’re trying to achieve with this is very, very different. Some things people do because they believe in them. Some things people do because they know about them. Some things are done just because even the next generation looks up to it and learns from it. So some things have to be recorded, and I feel this story is important.”

Radhika Pandit's reaction

The KGF star continued and explained that his wife wasn't upset as she is also an actor. Yash added, “I’ve also stepped out of my comfort zone. It’s not easy for me to do these things, but the story demands it, and it’s a crucial part of it. Of course, she won’t be happy about it, but that doesn’t mean she’s upset or anything, because she trusts me. The important thing is, she’s also an actor. She understands it’s a job, and when I’m performing, it’s an actor doing their part. It’s not her husband.”
