Yash stops security from dragging away selfie-seeking fan at Toxic event, internet impressed: ‘Real ones love the fans’
During the pre-release event for Toxic, Yash charmed fans with his generosity, posing for selfies and signing autographs.
Kannada star Yash’s fans are eagerly waiting to see him return to the big screen with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. The makers recently held a pre-release event in Hyderabad, where Yash interacted with fans and even obliged them with autographs. One of his gestures towards a fan at the event has now won hearts online.

Yash wins hearts with his sweet gesture for fan
During the event, a fan rushed towards Yash to take a selfie and, without hesitation, the actor agreed to pose with him. When Yash’s bodyguard tried to stop the fan and pull him away from where the actor was seated, Yash intervened and asked him not to. He then patiently clicked a selfie with the fan. Huma Qureshi could also be seen smiling at Yash’s sweet gesture.
The video surfaced online, with several users calling Yash a “gem of a person”. One user wrote, “Such a good human being.” Another commented, “The way Huma adoring Yash.” Another wrote, “That's why success will kiss his feet again and again.” One fan commented, “The real heroes never hate their fans, they keep them in their hearts.” Another wrote, “Huma crushing on Yash's aura.” One more comment read, “Man with golden heart.”
In another clip from the event, a fan in the crowd wanted to show Yash a portrait he had made for him. Yash noticed him and called him over. The actor was seen signing the portrait before posing for a picture with the fan. Security personnel later escorted the fan away.
The actor also halted the pre-release event after some stage equipment collapsed, injuring several fans. After noticing other fans attempting to climb onto speaker stands, Yash asked them to get down and prioritise their safety.
