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.
Bank seals part of Rajpal Yadav’s property due to Rs. 11 crore loan default

HINDUSTAN TIMES (August 16, 2024)
A portion of actor Rajpal Yadav’s property in his native Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh has been sealed by a Mumbai bank due to non-repayment of a loan, an official reported on Wednesday. Yadav had mortgaged this property to secure a loan from the Mumbai branch of the Central Bank of India, according to Manish Varma, manager of the Shahjahanpur branch.
Sources close to Yadav revealed that he established Navrang Godavari Entertainment Limited — a production house named after his parents — in 2005 and took out a Rs. 5 crore loan from the Bandra Kurla Complex branch of the Central Bank of India in Mumbai. By the time the property was sealed, the 53-year-old actor owed the bank Rs. 11 crore. On August 8, a team from the Mumbai bank sealed part of Yadav’s house near the Dak bungalow.
Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar Meena stated that he had no information about the sealing, as the bank did not seek local police’s assistance. Locals noted that the sealing was conducted so hastily that some electrical switches were left on.
