Yash and Radhika Pandit Celebrate 9 Years of Love: A Journey from TV Co-Stars to Sandalwood Royalty
Mumbai, August 12 – Kannada cinema’s golden couple, Yash and Radhika Pandit, are celebrating nine years since they said “yes” to forever. The beloved pair, whose romance began almost two decades ago on a television set, marked their engagement anniversary with a heartfelt social media post that melted fans’ hearts across India.
A Special Post to Mark the Day
Radhika Pandit took to Instagram to share a touching tribute to her husband, the KGF superstar Yash, on their engagement anniversary.
“In the end.. love isn’t something you hold, it’s what holds you! Love me like you do… 9yrs… forever to go!” she wrote, pairing the words with a stunning collage of moments from their 2016 engagement in Goa.
The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments, with fans celebrating the enduring bond of one of Sandalwood’s most admired couples.
How It All Began: From Sets to Soulmates
The couple’s journey started in 2004 on the sets of the Kannada television show “Nandagokul”. At first, sparks didn’t immediately fly — in fact, Radhika recalls that Yash came across as having “too much attitude.”
But as fate would have it, they would go on to work together in several projects, including the hit films “Moggina Manasu”, “Mr and Mrs Ramachari”, and “Santhu Straight Forward”.
With each collaboration, friendship blossomed into something deeper, and by the mid-2010s, they were one of the most talked-about off-screen couples in the Kannada film industry.
The Proposal and Wedding
The official turning point came on August 12, 2016, when Yash proposed, and the couple celebrated their engagement in a beautiful ceremony in Goa. Just four months later, on December 9, 2016, they tied the knot in a grand yet family-focused wedding in Bangalore.
Since then, they have embraced both stardom and parenthood with grace.
Family Life
Yash and Radhika are proud parents to two children:
- Ayra – their daughter, whose charming appearances often steal the spotlight on social media
- Yatharv – their son, who completes the picture-perfect family
The couple is known for keeping their family life relatively private while occasionally sharing candid, heartwarming glimpses with fans.
Yash’s Upcoming Projects
While their personal life remains rock solid, professionally, Yash’s calendar is just as exciting.
- “Toxic” – A much-anticipated drama set against the backdrop of Goa’s dark drug cartel world, co-starring Kiara Advani and Nayanthara. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the film is intriguingly marketed as “A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.”
- “Ramayana” – Yash has also been cast as Lankesh Raavan in Nitish Tiwari’s epic saga. The all-star cast includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lord Laxman.
Why Fans Love Them
What sets Yash and Radhika apart in the world of celebrity couples is their authenticity. Despite Yash’s superstardom post-KGF, the couple continues to exude humility and a strong family-first ethos.
Their story is proof that love stories can survive — and even thrive — under the bright lights of fame, so long as they’re built on respect, friendship, and mutual admiration.
The Road Ahead
As they celebrate nine years since their engagement, the couple shows no signs of slowing down. With a thriving family life, blockbuster projects, and an enduring love story, Yash and Radhika Pandit continue to be Sandalwood’s most beloved pairing — on screen and off.
