Rajpal Yadav’s cheque-bounce case details revealed
The Delhi High Court sentenced Rajpal Yadav to a six-month jail term in a cheque-bounce case dating back over a decade. The 54-year-old actor had allegedly borrowed Rs 5 crore from a Delhi-based businessman in 2010 to finance his directorial debut, ‘Ata Pata Laapata’. According to his lawyer, Yadav chose to surrender before Tihar Jail authorities last week after multiple efforts to settle the repayment over the years proved unsuccessful.

Having recently finished shooting for Priyadarshan’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’ with Akshay Kumar, Rajpal Yadav opened up about his current situation, expressing a sense of isolation within the film industry. In his conversation with Bollywood Hungama before surrendering, the actor remarked, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain (Sir, what can I do? I don’t have the money). Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta (I don’t see any other way out). Yahan hum sab akele hain (We are all on our own here). There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.“
