Yash is diving into a new side of himself with his role in Toxic, and it seems even his wife, Radhika Pandit, needed a moment to adjust to it. During a recent chat on Aap Ki Adalat, Yash opened up about Radhika’s reaction to his scenes with Kiara Advani in the upcoming film. He candidly admitted that she wasn’t entirely at ease with everything she witnessed.
Yash was honest, saying he wouldn’t pretend that every partner is totally fine with their spouse doing intimate scenes. He believes it’s completely normal for a partner to feel a bit uneasy, but there’s also an understanding that acting is a profession and a way to tell stories.

For Yash, some of the scenes in Toxic were challenging as well. He confessed that the film pushed him beyond his comfort zone, but he felt those moments were crucial to the narrative and couldn’t just be brushed aside.

Aug 18, 2026What makes his response particularly heartfelt is how he talked about Radhika’s grasp of his profession. He noted that she’s an actor too, so she understands the distinction between the person performing a scene and the character they portray.
Yash also clarified that when he’s on set, he’s fully in the role of an actor. While his character might share an intimate moment with another character, that doesn’t alter the bond he has with Radhika when the cameras stop rolling.
The buzz around the film is already building, thanks to Yash’s striking new look and the darker themes hinted at in the promotional material. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic is a Kannada-English bilingual action thriller featuring Yash in dual roles, alongside a talented cast that includes Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth.
For Yash, though, the heart of the matter seems to be the story itself. He feels that some stories are worth telling, even if they push actors to step outside their comfort zones.
