Deepika, who became a household name through the serial Naagini and later gained massive popularity from Bigg Boss, had long been rumored to be part of Yash’s extended family. However, her never publicly referring to Yash as ‘Anna’ (elder brother) led to many questions and doubts.

Now, Yash’s mother Pushpa has responded to these questions. She said,
“She grew up calling him ‘Yash Anna’. We’ve known her since she was a child. But she’s a shy girl and often finds it difficult to speak directly to me or Yash. Sometimes, she doesn’t even say a word out of nervousness.”

Pushpa’s words reflect both affection and a mother's reassurance.

“Outsiders say all kinds of things about our relationship and ask why there’s any distance. But we’ve never had any disputes. Deepika is very much part of our family,” she added sincerely.

With this heartfelt clarification, Pushpa has put an end to the rumors and reinforced that Deepika shares a close, familial bond with their family.
