New Delhi, Delhi, 15th of August, 2026 : Indian cinema’s highest paid superstar Yash, in an extensive interview to Rajat Sharma in AAP KI Adalat, to be telecast tonight, has defended the portrayal of five top female actors in his ‘A’-ratedmovie TOXIC, due for release on August 26.
Replying to probing questions from Rajat Sharma, Yash replied: ” We have put a tagline in our title “A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups”. JO BHI BACCHEY HAIN, JO BHI DIMAAG SE BACHHEY HAIN, WOH THODA DOOR RAHEN (All those who are kids or are mentally kids, please stay away from watching this movie).
On Karnataka State Women’s Commission’s letter to CBFC complaining about scenes which are obscene, Yash replied: “PICTURE DEKHENGEY, TAB PATA CHALEGA, AAJ KAL KI AURAT JO CHAHTI HAI, UNKI DESIRES BHI BAAT KARNE SE TABOO HO GAYA HAI IS DUNIYA MEIN, SIRF MARD KA YE SAB.. IS PICTURE KI DIRECTOR BHI EK AURAT HAI. AUR UNKO IS BAAT PE VISHWAS HAI KI WOMEN KI UNKI FANTASIES PAR BHI UNKA ADHIKAAR HAI. …AGAR KOI LADKI USKE MAN SE WOH KYA CHAHTI HAI, WOH BOLNE KO BHI DARNA PADTA HAI SOCIETY ME, WO BHI GALAT HAI. LEKIN INTENTION CLEAR HAI. NOT TO MAKE A GIMMICK, LOGON KO THEATRES ME LAANE KE LIYE NAHIN, QUESTIONS UTHANE KE LIYE SOCIETY ME. I THINK YAHI FUN HAI CINEMA ME.” (Once you watch the movie, you will know, what today’s women want, it is a taboo to even talk about their desires in our society, only men have the right.. The director of this movie is a woman and hse believes that women have the right to their fantasies.. If any girl has to fear about speaking her desires in society, that is wrong. But our intention is clear. Not to make a gimmick to draw crowds to theatres. The intention is to raise questions for society. I think that is the fun in cinema)
Rajat Sharma: Let me shown you some ‘fun’ from the movie, in Ladies and Ladies, the dialogue is, ‘ek ek kar ke aaoge ya ek saath aaogey? What do you have to say about this?
Yash: SIR, ATTACK KARNE AAYI HAIN…SELF-DEFENCE. Rajat Sharma: You have 5 top heroines, all of them attacking you?
Yash : KUCH MUJH PAR KARTI HAIN, MAIN KUCH PAR KARTA HOON.
Rajat Sharma: You are a writer in this movie, you used choicest abuses, did you write those abuses?
Yash : DEKHNA PADEGA, KUCH SEQUENCE ME MAINE LIKHA HAI, KUCH SEQUENCE ME GEETU (director Geetu Mohandas) NE LIKHA HAI.
Rajat Sharma: The film has been made in 6 languages, how did you translate those abuses?
Yash : GAALI TOH GAALI HOTI HAI, HAR BHASHA ME (smiles)
Rajat Sharma : What will children learn from this?
Yash : KYA NAHIN KARNA HAI, WOH SIKHENGEY.
Rajat Sharma : Accha, you mean they will learn what not to do?
Yash : BACHHON KO NAHIN DEKHNA HAI, BACHHON KE LIYE NAHIN BANAYA HAI, JO BHI BACHHE HAIN, GHAR ME REHNA HAI, THAT IS VERY CLEAR, THIS FILM HAS NOT BEEN MADE FOR KIDS, JO BADE HAIN, UNKO SAB PATA HAI, THEY CAN CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, WHAT THEY WANT TO LEARN FROM IT , WHAT THEY DONT WANT TO DO IN LIFE. WOH SAB HAI. IT’S A GENUINE, VERY DEEP STORY.
When Rajat Sharma reminded Yash that he had once said, he always felt nervous while doing romantic scenes, Yash replied: “HUNDRED PER CENT BADAL GAYA HOON. AADMI BADALTA HAI, AGAR KOI BOLTA HAI KI MAIN NAHIN BADLA 20 SAAL SE, WOH JHOOT KEHTA HAI, EVOLUTION IS A PART OF HUMAN NATURE. SAB LOG EVOLVE HOTE HAIN, JIS CHEEZ KO AAP 10 SAAL PEHLE MAANAT THEY, WOH CHEEZ ALAG HOTI HAI, JIS CHEEZ KO EK HAFTE PEHLE SOCHTE THEY, WOH ALAG HOTI HAI. THAT IS LIFE, IT KEEPS CHANGING.”
When Rajat Sharma showed a clip from Tabaahi song from the movie and said, it appears Kiara Advani is shedding her clothes one by one, Yash replied: “JO CHARACTERS HAI, EK RAYA, EK NADIA, WOH EK DOOSRE KO PHAAR IS TARAH KARTE HAI KI DUNIYA KO CARE NAHIN KARTE, USKO DIKHANE KE LIYE HUMKO WOH SCENE KARNI PADI. AND TRUST ME, SIR, HUM BHI NERVOUS REHTE HAIN.”
Asked why netizens criticized the allegedly vulgar scenes in the movie, Yash replied: ” I see, there are many people who only watch one or two things out of hundred good things and speak about it. JINKO TAKLEEF HAI, WON NAHIN DEKHEN.”
Rajat Sharma: A viewer commented, is Tabahi a song or a condom ad, Yash replied: “CONDOM AD KARNI HAI TOH MAIN PAISA LEKE KAROONGA, AGAR KARNI HAI TOH. MUFT ME NAHIN KAROONGA.”
On another scene where a person is shown digging a grave and snatching away a gold chain from a corpse, Yash said: “It is in the story. Once you watch the movie, you will know…There are people who do this. This is based on a real incident. It is based on something which happened in society.’
On why GenZ is blamed, when violence and vulgarity have become the formula, Yash replied: ” I think, the next generation will always be better. The generation that has become the past may feel the new generation has strayed. That’s always a lifelong problem. But we have to understand one thing. The world belongs to the youngsters. When our time came, we did, when your time comes, you will do according to your inner voice, your freedom of speech. VULGARITY IS WRONG, MAINE KISS BHI NAHIN KIYA HAI. You all have seen it. There is however a line and we know that. You have to shoot in an aesthetic way. Later what you feel visually, that is the impact of cinema. That is the voice of the creator. This film has been done with an intent where emotions are very, very important. When you watch the film, you will understand. It is for GenZ. It has conversations which you guys are having. The problems you have with the seniors, the questions that you ask from senior generation, what’s wrong in that? Why are there such fixed rules? Whatever your thoughts are, they are the primal aspects of this film.”
AAP KI ADALAT with superstar Yash will be telecast tonight on India TV at 10 pm. The show will be repeated tomorrow Sunday August 16 at 10 am and 10 pm. The full video of this interview will be downloaded on YouTube tonight after the show is over.
