Actor Rajpal Yadav and his wife, Radha Yadav, open up about how the legal ordeal has affected them, with Rajpal calling it “a period of reflection and patience”
Natasha Coutinho (HINDUSTAN TIMES; February 21, 2026)
Days after being granted interim bail and walking out of Tihar Jail on February 17 in a Rs. 9 crore cheque bounce case, actor Rajpal Yadav is choosing reflection over reaction. The 54-year-old, who travelled with his wife, Radha Yadav, to his hometown in UP soon after his release, says the legal battle is far from over.
Opening up about the entire ordeal, Radha says they are approaching the situation “one step at a time”.
Reflecting on his time in jail, Rajpal shares, “The most difficult part was being away from my family. Beyond that, I accepted the routine. I would wake up early and focus on breathing exercises and maintaining mental balance.” On the legal front, he says, “This matter has been ongoing for many years. I believed it was right to handle it legally.”
Radha adds, “Every possible legal and respectful option was explored. Sometimes resolution is not just about willingness, it also depends on timing.”
Speaking about how he is currently focusing on happy times after getting interim bail Rajpal Yadav says, “After my release, I went straight to my niece’s wedding in Shahjahanpur and was grateful to be with my family. Being around loved ones in that moment meant a great deal after a difficult phase.”
Although the couple didn’t name the industry colleagues who contributed towards helping settle the loan amount, he expresses gratitude, saying, “I am grateful for the love and goodwill I have received. What stayed with me most during this phase was the faith of people: audiences, colleagues, and well-wishers. For someone like me, respect, time, and being heard matter more than anything else.”
The actor’s wife Radha Yadav adds, “Support, when it comes, is received with gratitude. Many people reached out with concern and encouragement. We are thankful for every gesture, whether public or private.”
Sharing his plans for the near future, the actor says, “I will continue to respect the court and comply with every direction. I have maintained the same stand from the beginning and will allow the legal process to take its course.”
While Rajpal admits that the case has left his shooting schedules in limbo he says he is confident about getting back to the sets eventually. “Work schedules may fluctuate temporarily but I will resume work gradually and responsibly. Acting has been my life for many years, and I remain committed to it.”
THE BACKSTORY OF THE DISPUTE
The legal dispute dates back to 2010, when Rajpal took a Rs. 5 crore loan from businessman Madhav Gopal Agrawal to finance his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata (2012). After the film failed at the box office, he was unable to repay the amount. Over the years, accumulated interest, penalties and legal costs have caused the liability to rise to Rs. 9 crore.
Twice, I literally cried like a child to get my money back from Rajpal Yadav-Madhav Gopal Agarwal

Businessman Madhav Gopal Agarwal on asking actor Rajpal Yadav for repayment of Rs. 5 crore; reveals borrowing money from bank for the loan
HINDUSTAN TIMES (February 19, 2026)
As Rajpal Yadav walked out of the Tihar Jail on Tuesday, thanks to the Delhi High Court granting him interim bail till March 18, he thanked the country and his industry for their support. “I will complete 30 years in Bollywood, in Mumbai in 2027. People from all over the country, children, old and young, are with me... The way the entire country and the world, my Bollywood has loved me... If there are any allegations against me, I am available to answer. Thank you High Court,” he told ANI on Tuesday.
But narrating the account from the other end, businessman Madhav Gopal Agarwal, who loaned Rajpal Rs. 5 crore, has revealed the years-long ordeal of trying to get his money back in an interview with News Pinch.
Agarwal said that he met the actor back in 2010 through MP Mithilesh Kumar Katheria. During the meeting, Rajpal said if he didn’t receive immediate funding for his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata (2012), “everything will go to waste”. While Agarwal was initially hesitant, he claimed that Rajpal’s wife Radha contacted him several times over five days requesting help, which emotionally pressured him into loaning them the money under a formal agreement.
However, the repayment dates were missed by Rajpal, with supplementary agreements and new cheques with revised dates being issued three times over the next two years.
When veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan launched the film’s music, Agarwal realized that the film negatives and earnings were meant to be handed over once the project was completed. Worried about recovering his money, he approached the court and temporarily stayed the film’s release. Rajpal maintained that he would repay the loan after the film was released, after which the court stay was lifted. However, the film’s box office failure made the situation worse.
By 2013, with no solution in sight, Agarwal returned to court. Judicial intervention resulted in a settlement amount of Rs. 10.4 crore. Although several cheques were submitted by the actor, all were later dishonoured.

“During the mediation in 2015, I even said, please give my money in one go and we will forget everything that happened. But Rajpal said he could not pay it in one go. I even went to his house in Mumbai three or four times. Twice, I literally cried like a child because I had also borrowed money from someone else. We are also paying interest to the bank.”

“We told the court that our previous conducts were due to miscommunication, and we gave enough money to fulfil our commitment (Rs. 2.25 crores). The judge also realized that it’s necessary to listen to our side and have asked for Rajpal ji’s presence in the next hearing on March 18. Our contention is just that our side be listened to. The court asked us about the pending amount and we said that we just want the court to take our case based on merit and give us liberty to speak our side. And the court agreed. The next course of action will now be decided on the next hearing,” he says.
He had earlier told HT City that Rajpal will be holding a press conference to address speculation and queries around the case.

We are very grateful for the support and love he is receiving from his fans and the film fraternity.”
There have been rumours that multiple actors such as Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and others have paid off the actors debt, Radha addressed the speculations, and clarified, "I can’t take any specific names right now, but I would just want to say many people from the industry have stepped in to support. I’m not able to divulge names and figures at this stage. We are very hopeful that he will be out soon. That’s all I can say now. Once Rajpal ji is out, he will be able speak to you and the media and give further clarity on the matter.”
During the most recent court hearing, the bench directed the complainant to file a response to his bail application and sought clarification from Yadav’s legal team on how he intends to settle the outstanding financial obligations.

On
December 3, Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav was remanded to 10 days
judicial custody by the Delhi High Court, for concealing facts about a
recovery suit filed against him and his wife Radha by a Delhibased
entrepreneur, MG Agarwal. The court earlier noted that the couple had
repeatedly breached the undertakings given by them to repay the 5 crore
loan amount, which the actor had taken in 2010 for Ata Pata Laapata,
Rajpal’s directorial debut.Taking strong exception to the absence of Yadav and his wife in court regarding the suit, the Delhi High Court had, on Monday, set a deadline of December 3 for appearing before the court, with Justice Murlidhar warning the couple that they’ll be issued non-bailable warrants for their repeated failure to appear before him. On Monday, Rajpal turned up, but his wife Radha failed to appear. On Tuesday, during the hearing, Justice Murlidhar asked Radha to remain present in the Registrar General’s office till the rising of the court. The judge also issued a contempt of court notice against the two lawyers representing the couple, besides stating that Rajpal be taken into custody. A source close to the film revealed that the promotional efforts for Ata Pata Laapata too weren’t going ahead as planned earlier in the year, “They wanted to make movie merchandise; umbrellas with the film’s branding, pan shops and an elaborate cut out of the 'Ghodi' that Rajpal used in the film’s posters, but due to lack of funds they weren't done.” While Rajpal initially agreed, he couldn't make the funds available.
