What did the actor say?

As per reports, Yash 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 birthday. This is not how you show fandom. Please don’t show your love like this. I want to request you all. Don’t hang banners, don’t do bike chases and take dangerous selfies; my intention is for all of my audience and fans is to grow in life as I do. If you are a true fan of mine, then do your work diligently, dedicate your life to yourself and be happy and successful. You are the ones who mean everything to your families, you should aim to make them proud.”

The actor further mentioned that COVID cases are rising again and to avoid any harm from his side he decided not to celebrate his birthday. Therefore, he kept it simple and celebrated the occasion with his family.
