“No. 1 Yaari celebrates the spirit of brotherhood and friendship. Friends have always been a strong support system throughout my personal journey.

It will be fun to uncover their wild sides and reveal how their friendships have shaped their uniqueness on the show,” said Rana Daggubatti, Actor & Anchor of the No.1 Yaari Show.
