Rajpal Yadav breaks silence on Priyadarshan remark, clears air on Sonu Sood’s support Actor Rajpal Yadav has firmly responded to filmmaker Priyadarshan after the latter’s comment linking Yadav’s legal troubles to “poor education” triggered debate. The remark came amid renewed attention on a long-running cheque-bounce case involving the actor. Reacting to the statement, Rajpal said, “This is completely wrong. Priyanji doesn’t know me. I am a well-educated guy, I have been working since the age of 11 to 55. ” Emphasising that setbacks are not tied to academic background, he added, “Even the biggest of stalwarts land in trouble at some point, but that has nothing to do with their education. Had I been poorly educated, I wouldn’t have survived here for 25–30 years. ”While disagreeing with the remark, Rajpal reiterated his respect for the filmmaker. “I respect three directors a lot; Mr Ram Gopal Verma, David Dhawan and Priyadarshan. I look up to them. I have done more than 50 films with just the three of them. ” He further said, “I am like Priyanji’s son. But Priyanji or anyone from Bollywood doesn’t know the whole story, so any judgments from them don’t hold value. ”The actor also responded to support extended by Sonu Sood, who had publicly offered to stand by him and even announced that he would cast Rajpal in a film. Addressing the gesture, Rajpal urged people to change their perception about his situation. “Please get over the misconception that I need to keep asking... #Yadav #Rajpal_Yadav #Rajpal #Sonu_Sood #Yadav_breaks #linking_Yadav #triggered_debate #clears_air #breaks_silence #comment_linking
Rajpal Yadav to address Rs 9 crores cheque bounce case in press conference after being granted bail After being granted bail in the Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case linked to his 2010 production venture, actor Rajpal Yadav has announced that he will soon hold a press conference to address the controversy in detail. While speaking to PTI, the actor maintained that the matter is currently before the High Court and refrained from discussing legal specifics, emphasising his respect for the judicial process. “All legal matters are before the High Court. As the case is sub judice, I do not wish to comment and I fully respect the court's decisions. Within the next few days, we will hold a press conference and answer all questions honestly,” Yadav told PTI, thanking the media and his supporters across the country and the film industry. The case originates from a financial dispute connected to his directorial venture Ata Pata Laapata, for which funds were reportedly borrowed in 2010. Over time, the matter escalated into cheque bounce proceedings, with the outstanding amount allegedly increasing due to accumulated interest and penalties. Earlier this month, the High Court had taken note of delays in settlement, following which Yadav surrendered and was briefly sent back to jail. After subsequent hearings, he was granted bail. During his interaction with the media last evening, Yadav directed legal queries to his counsel, Bhaskar Upadhyay, and reflected on his three-decade journey in... #High_Court #Yadav #Court #press_conference #Rajpal_Yadav #Rajpal #actor_Rajpal #cheque_bounce #High #crores_cheque

Rajpal Yadav secures bail; lawyer says legal battle over 2010 film deal was “layered and confusing” Actor Rajpal Yadav was granted bail on Monday in connection with an ongoing financial dispute linked to his 2010 production venture. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror shortly after the court’s decision, his lawyer Bhaskar Upadhyay said that obtaining relief was a challenging process. According to Upadhyay, the case traces back more than a decade and revolves around contractual arrangements tied to a film project produced by Yadav. Over the years, he explained, several agreements were executed, followed by a consent decree and additional legal proceedings, ultimately resulting in what he described as a complicated and multi-layered matter. Commenting on his client’s understanding of the situation, Upadhyay said, "He is not a lawyer; he doesn't understand technicalities. He is an actor, a family man. Whenever the court asked, he simply said, Whatever I owe, I will pay," he shared, adding, "He himself had a lot at stake in that project. It's not like he walked away unaffected," Upadhyay said. The lawyer further alleged that the complainant was intent on seeking imprisonment rather than financial recovery. "If it was only about money, they could have taken the security. But there was a malicious intent. The complainant said that 'We don't want this and just kindly execute the decree by sending him in jail'. This was categorically said by the complainants. If it was the issue of a... #Rajpal_Yadav #Rajpal #Actor_Rajpal #secures_bail #granted_bail #production_venture #Yadav_secures #dispute_linked #Bhaskar_Upadhyay #Mumbai_Mirror
Rajpal Yadav has paid Rs. 2.5 crore in Rs. 9-crore cheque bounce case, reveals lawyer Actor Rajpal Yadav has paid Rs. 2. 5 crore in connection with the long-running Rs. 9-crore cheque bounce case against him, revealed his lawyer Bhaskar Upadhyay on Friday. The development comes a day after the Delhi High Court sent the actor to judicial custody at least until Monday, after adjourning the hearing on his interim bail plea. Speaking to NDTV, Upadhyay said, “The money that was invested from the investment purpose has not been denied to. Earlier also when there was talk of money, the company had refused to take money. Negotiations are underway on the 2012 agreement, in which three months have already been served”. "I can't say anything about who gave money to Rajpal Yadav, it is a family matter. I will personally go to the jail and tell him how it needs to be done. Out of Rs 5 crore so far, Rs 2. 5 crore have been given. Let's see what the court decides on Monday," he added. As things stand, Rajpal Yadav is serving a six-month jail sentence after the high court rejected his last-minute plea for relief in the case. The actor surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5. The case dates back to 2010, when Yadav borrowed money for his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata. The film failed to perform at the box office, and the loan amount eventually ballooned into a significant financial liability. Over the years, multiple cheque bounce complaints were filed against him. On Februa... #High_Court #crore #Yadav #money #Rajpal_Yadav #Rajpal #case #cheque_bounce #Actor_Rajpal #bounce_case

Rajpal Yadav before surrendering to Tihar Jail authorities, “There’s no other way out, there are no friends” Prolific legendary comedian Rajpal Yadav, who has given us decades of laughter, has gone to prison for a cheque bounce case of a meagre Rs 2. 5 crores. Rajpal surrendered to the Tihar Jail authorities in Delhi on Thursday after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him any relief in his cheque-bounce case. The actor had sought an extension of the deadline for his surrender. The request was declined. When this writer asked the truly kind and generous Rajpal about his predicament, he sadly said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain (sir, what to do? I don’t have the money to pay back). Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta (can’t see another way out). ”When this writer asked him why he didn’t ask his super-rich friends –like Priyadarshan who has worked with Rajpal in dozens of films and earns over Rs. 20 crores per film—Rajpal said, “Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain (sir, we are all on our own over here). There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own. ”Also Read: Rajpal Yadav to surrender at Tihar Jail after Delhi HC rejects extension in cheque bounce case... #High_Court #Tihar_Jail #Prolific_legendary #Jail_authorities #Rajpal_Yadav #Jail #Sir #Rajpal #Tihar #legendary_comedian
