Yash's mother hits back at Allu Aravind over 'Who was Yash before KGF' jibe, alleges Toxic smear campaign

Pushpa Arun Kumar has pushed back publicly against a years-old comment from producer Allu Aravind, who had once questioned whether Yash's stardom was real or simply borrowed from KGF's scale.

Yash's mother hits back at Allu Aravind over 'Who was Yash before KGF' jibe, alleges Toxic smear campaign

Pushpa Arun Kumar, Yash's mother, has vehemently defended her son against a remark made by producer Allu Aravind regarding the origins of Yash's stardom. The incident, which has resurfaced amidst Yash's less than stellar reviews and box office performance for his recent film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Up's, has sparked a heated debate.

Pushpa emphatically rejected the notion that her son was an unknown before KGF, asserting that he had already established a successful career in Kannada cinema with a string of hits including Googly, Drama, Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari, Gajakesari, and Santhu Straight Forward before 2018.

Born into a humble family with no industry connections or financial backing, Pushpa emphasized that Yash's achievements are the result of hard work and dedication, stemming from years of television work and acting in Kannada films. She accused some individuals of orchestrating a toxic smear campaign against her son, and against the movie Toxic, which has crossed Rs 190 crore in box office collections but has slowed down significantly on its fourth day.

Pushpa firmly stated that as long as her son enjoys the audience's love and support, no one can hinder his growth.
