Yash and Radhika met for the first time on the sets of a renowned Kannada television show Nanda Gokula which was aired on ETV Kannada in the year 2004.

During their first interaction, Radhika thought that Yash had sort of an attitude. Yash too had same impression of Radhika.

For the unversed, before Yash another actor was finalized for the show. After he opted out, the KGF star stepped in to fill the space.

The same thing had happened with their debut film, Moggina Manasu in 2008. Yash had replaced the actor and had bagged the lead role.

In 2012, when Yash had starred in the film, Drama, as the main lead, destiny had played its role once again. Radhika had replaced the main lead and the two acted together.

After performing together in many movies together, Yash and Radhika developed a strong bond of friendship, which blossomed into love.

However, Yash took time to confess his feeling as he was afraid to lose friendship with Radhika. Instead, he told her that he is in love with someone else and took tips to propose her.

This motivated Yash and he decided to propose Radhika on the lovely occasion of Valentine`s Day. Yash got to know that Radhika was headed to watch a movie in a mall with her parents.

Yash reached the mall with some handpicked gifts that Radhika was fond of. However, Radhika didn`t respond to the gesture.

Later, when Yash had confessed his feelings over phone, she had taken her own sweet time and he had waited patiently, waiting for a response for six months.

On August 12, 2016, Yash and Radhika got engaged in Goa and later tied the sacred knot on December 9, 2016, in a private ceremony in Bangalore.

The couple welcomed their first daughter on December 2, 2018, named Ayra, and then a son on October 30, 2019, named Yatharv.
