His roots are from Punjab and his father Dharam Pal Gera was lieutenant of Indian Army. After finishing his studies, he pursued modeling while staying in Delhi itself.

Yash moved to Mumbai in the year 2009 to pursue a career in modeling and acting.

Yash Gera is fond of gyming and writing. As far as food is concerned, he is a proper Delhi boy at that. Yash likes to eat simple food and is a massive fan of mixed veg curry and roasted wheat. For his dessert, he loves a good old piece of chocolate cake. His favorite color is grey and he is often spotted donning this color. The man has an expensive taste in perfumes and perfumes by the international luxury house Gucci happen to be his favorite.
Apart from being a actor and model, Yash is also a professional DJ. The actor actually used to be a DJ before he got a break in acting. Talkin about his other profession, he said in an interview, “I was a DJ before taking up acting projects. After working for so many years, I wanted to enjoy my life as a DJ so I have started DJing. I will continue DJing with acting.” He went back to DJ after his stint on the show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was over.
After his role in the superhit show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, he was being offered the same kinds of role. Most of the roles being offered to him was that of a brother. Yash rejected those offers as he did not want to be stereotyped. He said he is open to both negative and positive characters, but he wants to do roles that are different. He will now be seen in Star Plus’ show Zindagi Ki Mehak.
Hailing from an army background, Yash also wanted to follow his father’s footsteps and join the army. But soon he got into modeling and then graduated to TV serials. In 2012 he signed a film named Usse Kya Ho Jayega and followed by another named Chori Ka Maal Mori Mein, but both of them did not see the light of the day
Apart from being an actor and a professional DJ, the man is also a poet. He uploads his poetry on Instagram on a daily basis. One example of his poetic side goes as follow: “Banjar hai zameen, bhookha hai kisaan, lut raha yahan har ek ka imaan. Yeh nadaan sheher ki chaka chondh dekh ke keh raha hai, mera bharat mahan, dekh zara mudh ke jahan gaaon mai faasi laga raha hai kisaan, wahi sarhad pe goli kha raha hai jawaan, jinki har saans kahe mera bharat mahan, mera bharat mahan.”
Talking about breaking language barriers, the model/ actor also expressed his enthusiasm to star in South Indian movies. He said he is not scared of language barriers and said it would not be surprising for him to star in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies if something good and exciting came his way. Although, he has not taken any step in that direction so far, we are hopeful to see him in films in Tamil, Telugu or Kannada.
Yash also happens to be a huge Salman Khan fan. Recently when Salman was released from the jail after spending two nights there in relation to his blackbuck case, he took to Instagram to show his love and support to his favorite actor.
