Pushpa Arun Kumar, mother of actor Yash, publicly defended her son's career achievements following resurfaced 2023 remarks by producer Allu Aravind questioning the actor's pre-KGF stardom.
Yash's latest film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, earned over ₹140 crore on its opening day but has faced mixed critical and audience responses in subsequent days.
Pushpa emphasized that Yash established his popularity in Kannada cinema through films like Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari and Gajakesari long before achieving pan-India success with the KGF franchise.
