At a recent award function, actor Rajpal Yadav was publicly jested by journalist Saurabh Dwivedi concerning a Rs. 9 crore cheque-bounce case. Dwivedi's comment, referencing Yadav's outstanding debts amidst discussions of currency fluctuations, drew laughter from the audience. However, Yadav responded with remarkable dignity, smiling and engaging with the jest, which impressed many observers.
Following the event, the video of the exchange went viral, sparking a strong reaction from netizens. Many fans expressed outrage at Dwivedi's insensitive remark, while simultaneously commending Yadav for his composed and graceful handling of the situation. This has led to significant online discussion about the incident.
The legal troubles for Rajpal Yadav stem from a 2010 loan of Rs. 5 crores for his film 'Ata Pata Laapata'. The film's failure led to his inability to repay the loan. In April 2018, he and his wife were convicted for issuing bounced cheques. Despite efforts, the debt grew to Rs. 9 crores. By February 5, 2026, Yadav surrendered to Tihar Jail to serve a six-month sentence, citing financial difficulties, which led to public support.
