Yash drops a goofy picture with his kids in Ravana costume; thanks fans for pouring love on 'Ramayana: Rise of a Legend': 'Wishing you all a very Happy Deepavali'

Yash has thanked fans for the response to Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana: Rise of a Legend’, in which he plays Ravana and also works as a co-producer. The actor marked

Deepavali

with a fun family post that includes a behind-the-scenes picture of his children copying his intense look from the film.

Yash’s first personal post in months

‘Ramayana’ reached theatres on 5 November, just in time for Diwali. It began with mixed reviews but has done well at the box office and picked up pace since. Yash had stayed away from social media after his Kannada film ‘Toxic’ got a lukewarm response in August, posting only promotional content for ‘Ramayana’.This time, he shared a joint post with his wife, Radhika Pandit. One picture shows the couple with their children, Arya and Yatharv, on a vacation after the release of ‘Toxic’.

The other is from the sets of ‘Ramayana’, where Yash wears the tattered outfit his character has before becoming the king of Lanka. He strikes a serious pose while his kids playfully copy it.“Wishing you all a very Happy Deepavali. Thank you for the love,” Yash wrote, using a folded-hand emoji and a hug emoji.
