Naveen Kumar Gowda is currently a national sensation thanks to KGF. He is known as “Rocking Star” Yash among his enormous fan base in Karnataka. Chapter 1 of Kolar Gold Fields was launched to a resounding reaction from the global public, especially in the Hindi & Telugu-speaking states. It was billed as the most expensive project ever created in a Kannada film. By grossing more than Rs 150 crore in less than two weeks of theatrical release, the historical action movie broke numerous box office records in India.
Yash is viewed as a tough idol who adheres to his own set of standards, which is consistent with his on-screen persona and charisma. Many people find inspiration in his rags-to-riches story of becoming Sandalwood’s “Rocking Star” after starting out as an ordinary middle-class child. The attractive hottie from Bengaluru, who has a lean physique, menacing appearance, and tremendous acting abilities, just celebrated ten years as the male protagonist in Kannada films. These are some of the KGF star’s amazing facts.
Born into a middle-class family as the bus driver’s son- “I was shocked to learn that Yash is the son of a bus driver”, SS Rajamouli said at the KGF pre-release event. “According to what I’ve been informed, his father still insists on working in his line of work because it’s what helped make his son famous. The actual star, in my opinion, is Yash’s father rather than the actor.”
Began with TV series and minor parts in movies- After studying acting in the theatre, Yash began his career in show business with the Kannada soap opera “Nanda Gokula,” which was followed by a few more. In the 2007 movie “Jambada Hudugi,” he made his debut appearance on the silver screen in a cameo role. Naveen Kumar won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor in “Moggina Manasu” for his second movie. Surprisingly, the film’s leading heroine is Radhika Pandit, his real-life wife.
Success and fame have increased throughout time- Yash gained his first success as a solo hero with “Modalasala” in 2010 after playing the male lead in movies like “Rocky,” “Kallara Santhe,” and “Gokula.” The tall boy quickly rose to the elite league of Sandalwood with numerous victories throughout the years. The Rocking Star’s 2014 blockbuster “Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari,” which had Radhika Pandit as the female lead, ended up becoming one of Kannada cinema’s top-grossing movies and his sixth straight super-hit. Yash might be credited with bringing Sandalwood back into the spotlight with KGF after a long absence.
Love union with Radhika Pandit, a stunning actress and co-star- In both his second movie, Moggina Manasu, and his debut TV series, Nanda Gokula, Yash, and Radhika Pandit shared screen time. What started as a friendship between the two during the early years quickly developed into love. Despite being madly in love, the couple kept their relationship a secret. The marriage was solemnized in Bengaluru following a covert engagement in Goa. Everyone from Karnataka had been openly invited by Yash to their reception at Bangalore Palace.
