Naveen Kumar Gowda, known by the stage name Yash, is one of the most popular names in Kannada cinema and enjoys a huge fanbase. He had never thought that he would get married to someone from the same industry. Yash had met his soulmate, Radhika Pandit during a shoot and their first impression was completely opposite. But as they say, some things are meant to be and it stands true for Yash and Radhika as their love story is nothing less than a fairytale.
Yash and Radhika had met on the sets of the show, Nanda Gokula in 2004. They had to share the same cab and Radhika hadn't even talked to him. She had a preconceived notion about Yash and had thought that he had a lot of attitude. On the other hand, Yash had thought the same about Radhika as she hadn't spoken a word to him, not even for the sake of courtesy.
In the serial Nanda Gokula, the actor starring opposite Radhika was replaced by Yash and 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.

The two had become best of friends and it was Radhika, who had become Yash’s strength and his emotional anchor. And on the other hand, Radhika had believed that Yash was the one destined for her as she could be herself in front of him.

Yash’s proposal story is one of the most romantic one and could give any romantic film a tough competition. Yash was head-over-heels in love with Radhika and he had kept giving her hints about having someone, whom he loved very much. And Radhika would give him ideas on how to confess his feelings to her. And on a Valentine’s Day, Yash had decided to propose her.
He had called her to know about her plans that day and she had told him that she was going to watch a film. Yash had wanted to confess his feelings but couldn’t gather the courage as they were best of friends and he hadn't wanted to ruin his friendship with her as he wasn’t sure about Radhika’s feelings. So, he had gone to the mall, where she was watching the film with her parents and had bought a gift with handpicked items of all her favourite things.
Without giving it directly to her, he had kept the gift in her car. When she had gotten the gift and the card with the message, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’, she was aware who had left it there. But neither Yash, nor Radhika had talked about the same with each other. 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.
