“Yash,” who is gearing up for the release of his
Santhu Straight Forward
, this Diwali has been targeted by some part of the media as usual. Yash, who had been maintaining silence on this, broke out today with a perfect reply. He openly challenged the media people daringly that he is ready to sacrifice his professional duties if they are willing to join him. He posted a video on his Facebook page. In the video, he says, "I know what my social responsibilities are and always had stood up for people in times of need. But I am repeatedly being questioned by some media on my genuine contribution towards our farmers. I am hurt on being targeted. Some of the media project that actors are just fit to fight on the screen for the people. They also think that shooting a film is just like partying, but it is not true. We, cinema people work like 'coolies' on the sets and have been working round the clock. But, media didn’t have time to speak about this. Now, let us stop blaming others and start to work together in finding solutions to our farmers. I am ready to walk an extra mile to help the farmers and you should join me in the mission. Give me a time slot and let us discuss their issues and solve it. I could say the public rallies by celebrities and the programs on the issue will never solve it. So, the program should never be word of mouth, but a real step to resolve their problems. Above all, I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but to light the lamp in the house of a poor farmer." Sure Yash, we are with you!
