Recently, three fans of Yash died after they tried to install a 25-foot cut-out of the actor in the Ambedkar Nagar area for his birthday. They were electrocuted while putting up the poster of the Rocking Star. The poster hit a live electric wire and the youth holding the poster was electrocuted and all three men were dead on the spot.
The deceased fans were identified as Hanamanta Harijan, 21-year-old, Murali Nadavinamani, 20-year-old and Naveen Ghazi, 19.
On Tuesday, the Kannada superstar spoke to reporters in Hubballi and said that he would visit the kin of his deceased fans in the Gadag district.
Speaking to the media, he said, "If you wish me wholeheartedly, from wherever you are, that is the best gesture for me. Tragic incidents like these make me fear my own birthday. This is not how you show fandom."
