Rajpal Yadav not ‘alone’ after Tihar Jail surrender in ₹9 crore case; Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and others rally behind him

Rajpal Yadav, known for lighting up screens with his comic timing and heartfelt performances, is currently navigating one of the toughest phases of his life. Battling mounting legal and financial pressure, the actor-comedian recently surrendered at Tihar Jail in connection with a ₹9 crore cheque bounce case - a development that has stunned fans and the film fraternity alike.

Moments before turning himself in, Yadav expressed his helplessness in an emotional appeal. He said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain. Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta… Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain. There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.”

The Industry Steps Up

However, what followed revealed a different side of Bollywood - one rooted in solidarity. Soon after his surrender, several prominent names from the industry began extending their support to help Yadav settle the ₹9 crore liability.

His manager, Goldie, shared that many colleagues have come forward without hesitation.

Speaking about the overwhelming backing, Goldie told Screen, "A lot of people have reached out to help Rajpal Yadav. Actors like Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn have extended their support. I was just on a call with David Dhawan, he too reached out. Ratan Nain, Varun Dhawan… many people are coming forward to help him this time, which Rajpal has deeply appreciated.”

Did Rajpal Sought Help?

When asked whether Rajpal had previously sought assistance before surrendering, Goldie chose not to delve deeper. “I would not like to comment on that,” he stated. Still, he emphasized the strength of collective support pouring in now.

“The good thing is that after his situation worsened, the industry has stood behind him like a rock, and that should be appreciated. Everyone has made commitments, but such transactions don’t happen overnight,” he stated.

Hope for Bail and Brighter Days

Despite the ongoing challenges, optimism remains high within the family. Goldie revealed that everyone is holding onto hope for Rajpal’s quick return home.

“Mentally, the family has to remain strong. Rajpal Bhai himself is very strong, and that strength runs in the family. There are also several celebrations lined up at home, with family functions scheduled later in February. Everyone wants Rajpal Bhai to be out by then. Hopefully, he should be out by tomorrow," said Goldie.

He further added, “We have his bail hearing scheduled for tomorrow, and we are hopeful that he will be granted bail and released. The bail application has already been filed. We will be able to share more details after the hearing tomorrow.”

Support Beyond Bollywood

Support isn’t limited to film stars alone. Public figures and well-wishers have also stepped forward with financial aid. Sonu Sood, Guru Randhawa, Gurmeet Choudhary, KRK, and music composer Rao Inderjeet Yadav have all voiced their backing.

Rao Inderjeet pledged ₹1.11 crore and even shared the actor’s bank details publicly to motivate contributions. His gesture inspired politician Tej Pratap Yadav to promise ₹11 lakh, while KRK announced a ₹10 lakh contribution.

Together, these acts of kindness signal that Rajpal Yadav isn’t fighting this battle alone - the industry stands firmly by his side.
