Rajpal Yadav has been grabbing headlines ever since he surrendered at Tihar Jail in connection with a Rs 9 crore debt case. The actor was later granted bail and has since returned to work, currently promoting his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. Recently, a video of him from an event in Mumbai went viral, where he appeared uncomfortable after being 'mocked' over his legal troubles. Despite the awkward moment, Rajpal handled the situation with calmness and dignity. Now, Salman Khan has stepped forward to support him, sharing a message in his favour days after the incident.

Amid this, Salman Khan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his support for the veteran actor. In his post, Salman praised Rajpal’s long-standing career, stating that he has been working in the industry for over three decades and has consistently entertained audiences. He emphasised that Rajpal’s talent and value as an actor ensure that he will continue to receive work.
He further added, "Aur yeh yaad rakhna ke kabhi kabhi flow mai kuch nikal aata hai ,dena hi hai toh dimag mai rakho dil se kaam karo , dollar upar ho ya neeche kya farak padta hai dena toh India mai hi hai"
(Translation: And remember, sometimes things just slip out in the flow. If you have something to give, keep it in your mind and work with your heart. Whether the dollar goes up or down, what difference does it make? In the end, you have to give it here in India only.)
For the unversed, according to ANI, Rajpal Yadav’s legal troubles date back to 2010, when he and his wife reportedly borrowed around Rs 5 crore to finance his directorial project Ata Pata Laapata. After the film failed at the box office, the loan remained unpaid, leading to multiple cheque bounce cases. Over time, with interest and penalties, the amount is said to have risen to nearly Rs 9 crore.
Earlier this year, the actor surrendered before being sent to Tihar Jail. He was later granted interim relief by the Delhi High Court, allowing him to resume his professional commitments. However, the case is still ongoing.
On the work front, Rajpal has already returned to shooting and promotions. Apart from Bhooth Bangla, he also has projects lined up including Welcome to the Jungle.
