Overview
- During an August 15 appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Yash said “vulgarity is wrong” and insisted he “hasn’t even kissed” to reject claims that Toxic crosses the line into vulgarity.
- He described Toxic as aimed at Gen Z and said the film addresses younger people’s questions about older generations and fixed social rules.
- Yash also mocked trolls who compared the song Tabaahi to a condom advertisement and defended co‑star Kiara Advani while stressing the film is meant for adults only.
- The controversy began after the teaser and the Tabaahi song drew heavy online criticism and personal attacks on Kiara and others, and some industry figures publicly condemned the imagery.
- Toxic retains an A certificate from the CBFC, a reported runtime of about three hours, and a scheduled theatrical release on August 26 as the makers press ahead despite sustained pre‑release backlash.
