From silver screen laughs to Tihar’s iron bars: Rajpal Yadav’s fall due to a Rs 5 crore loan default grips Bollywood. The comic genius, who surrendered February 6 per court directive, now finds an ally in Sonu Sood. The philanthropist actor launches an impassioned appeal for collective help.
Sood’s X thread pulls no punches. ‘Rajpal’s decades of brilliance deserve better than this injustice from fate,’ he declared. Promising a role in his film with adjusted future payments via signing fee, Sood framed it as dignity restored.
‘Let’s unite, filmmakers and peers,’ he called out. ‘Show our brother he’s not forsaken. This defines us beyond reels.’ Applause poured in from netizens, amplifying the cry for unity.
With 100+ films including ‘Chup Chup Ke,’ ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa,’ and poignant dramas, Yadav’s legacy is untarnished. His tearful words before jail – ‘No money, no way out, no friends to help’ – fuel online campaigns.
This saga tests Bollywood’s heart. Sood’s leadership could inspire bail funds or roles, mending a perceived lack of support. In an era of fleeting fame, such gestures remind: true stars shine in adversity.
