Yash breaks silence on the Sandalwood drug racket; Says 'Drugs menace is not limited to Kannada film industry'
After several Sandalwood stars were named in the drug racket, pan Indian star Yash has broken his silence for the first time on the issue.
The Kannada film industry had a meeting with Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa today. The team, which included Sandalwood biggies including Shivarajkumar, Yash, Duniya Vijay and Rockline Venkatesh among others, met the Chief Minister and discussed the various issues that the film industry faced during the pandemic situation and shared their grievances. According to The Times Of India, Shivarajkumar and Yash shared their views on the ongoing Sandalwood drug scandal when they were questioned by some media persons after their meeting with the Chief Minister.
"It is not right to talk about the Kannada Film Industry as a whole or even the Indian film industry when it comes to drugs. Drugs is a menace world over, not specific to our country only. It persists in all the major industries and sectors. Unfortunatley, only the film industry is highlighted. Its the problem of the youth. If a school kid consumes drugs, it is a huge problem. As responsible citizens of the society, we need to create awareness regarding this. I want to say this to all the youngsters...This body is not yours, it is a gift from your parents. Every parent is worried about their children. They feed them good healthy food, watch every step of theirs and make sure that they do not fall. They sacrifice everything for their children, they dream about their childrens’ bright future. In return, if the kids spoil their life by consuming drugs imagine what the parents go through. In fact it is not just about drugs, stop doing anything illegal and do something which makes your parents proud," Yash said as he reacted to the recent Sandalwood drugs scandal.

Kannada star Shivarajkumar, who has worked with both accused actors Ragini and Sanjjanaa in his films apparently stated that he would not be able to share his views on the case as the case is still being investigated. He apparently denied to make any comment to both the accused actors. "Whatever happens, God is there, we will have to see. Since the issue is currently under investigation, I will not be able to share anything. I do not want to comment on the arrest of Ragini or Sanjjanaa," he was quoted as saying.
