According to reports in India Today, Ravi Raghuram, a fan of Yash had burned himself when he couldn’t meet the star. This youngster had gone to the actor’s residence on his birthday, but the watchman told him that the KGF actor is not in town.
This really upset the young fans, and he decided to take this drastic step of burning himself with petrol in front of Yash’s house. Reportedly, Ravi sustained 70% burn injury and succumbed to the wounds after few days. After this incident, the actor came up with a statement slamming this kind of ‘dangerous fan following’.
He was quoted as saying, “He (Ravi) has clicked selfies with me on my birthday (last year). I’m sorry to say but this is not fandom and I don’t believe he can be a fan. I request my fans to never take such drastic steps. A few days before my birthday, I had put out a video saying I am not celebrating my birthday this year. This is very hurtful.”
Yash added, “Is this fandom? No, I don’t think so. I have always told my fans to be responsible persons. I have conveyed to them many times through interviews and on social media that the only way they can show me appreciation is by being responsible, taking care of their families and being good human beings.”
Although the actor visited Ravi in the Victoria hospital in Bengaluru, he said that he wouldn’t visit such fans ever again as it would set a wrong example.
