Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

Actor Yash corrected Aap Ki Adalat host Rajat Sharma after the latter referred to the Kannada language as 'Kannad' during an episode of the show. Yash politely interjected, saying, "Sir, it is Kannada." Sharma took the correction in good humour and repeated the word correctly before moving on. The moment, though brief, resonated with Kannada speakers who have long encountered the mispronunciation. Yash has been particular about the correct pronunciation on earlier occasions as well. The actor appeared on the show to discuss his career, his films, and his growing presence beyond the Kannada film industry. He also spoke in Hindi during the conversation, which Sharma appreciated. No further discussion was made about the correction.
