No fame, no car, six-month wait: Yash’s fairytale love story with Radhika Pandit

Yash is preparing for the release of his film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups. However, his own relationship with wife Radhika Pandit is a fairytale in its own right. Radhika, who has also acted, has taken a break from films for nearly seven years. She recently received a special mention for her support during the trailer launch of Toxic.

Yash revealed on Aap Ki Adalat that she is the only person he follows on Instagram, saying, "That's my wife. I follow her because she is the only friend I have." He added, "Jokes apart, she is a very important person in my life. We have grown up together. She has seen me. She has been part of my life and I am very happy. I am blessed to have her because she is like a strong pillar in my life."

What makes their relationship unique is that Radhika knew Yash even before he attained fame and success. She was not brought in because he was successful. They didn't even have a car initially, but they valued their time together. They first met on the sets of Nanda Gokula in 2005 when Radhika was a lead actress and Yash was a newcomer.

Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship, with Yash proposing on Valentine's Day after six months of hints. Radhika took time to decide, ultimately saying yes six months later. They have been married for over a decade and have two children.
