Mika Singh extends financial support to Rajpal Yadav, urges industry action

Rajpal Yadav is currently going through a difficult time. However, Bollywood figures have joined forces to support him, who is behind bars in Tihar Jail in a check-bounce case. The latest addition to this list is Mika Singh, who has announced a hefty sum for the comedian, who is now in debt of ₹9 crore.


Rajpal recently surrendered to Tihar Jail in connection with this case. Earlier, becoming emotional, he had said, "What should I do? I don't have any money. I can't see any other way out. Everyone here is alone, there are no friends. I have to get through this ordeal on my own." Rajpal Yadav's words touched the hearts of Bollywood stars. Sonu Sood was among the first to extend a helping hand. Gradually, celebrities from Bollywood and politics came forward to offer their support.


Mika Singh offers Rajpal 11 lakh rupees

Many stars have offered Rajpal financial assistance in this film space-related matter. Now, Mika has also pledged 11 lakh rupees. The actor has to pay approximately 9 crore rupees.


Mika Singh said, "I appeal to all the people in the film industry."

Mika Singh said, "Rajpal Yadav ji, I stand firmly with you in this difficult time. I am contributing 11 lakh rupees as a gesture of support and solidarity. You have brought smiles to the faces of millions, and today it is our turn to stand with you. I urge everyone in the film industry to come forward and offer their support to the best of their ability." We are a family, and we should always stand united for our loved ones.


Don't just post, don't show off, but I'm happy that everyone has started after one of my posts.

Mika said about Rajpal - I'm not saying you should give 5 crores

Mika Singh shared a message through a video, saying, "Superstar Rajpal Yadav is going through a very difficult time right now. We all know his situation. He needs money badly right now. I request all the actors, producers, directors, and superstars who have worked with him to support him. I'm not saying you should give 5 crores. If even 20 of us announce 50 lakhs each, 25 lakhs each, or 11 lakhs each, we can help Rajpal Yadav Bhai." So don't just post, don't show off, but I'm happy that everyone has started after my post. But I really want to help him, and I request all of you with folded hands that our industry is always there for each other, please afford it.


I'm not asking you to donate 5 crores. If even 20 of us announce 50 lakhs each, 25 lakhs each, or 11 lakhs each, we can help Rajpal Yadav.

Actors like Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgan offered their support

It's worth noting that Rajpal Yadav's manager, Goldie, recently spoke to SCREEN about many big celebrities coming forward to help. He said, "Many people have come forward to help Rajpal Yadav. Actors like Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgan have offered their support. I just spoke with David Dhawan; he has also extended a helping hand." Ratan Nain, Varun Dhawan… many people are coming forward to help him this time, which Rajpal has wholeheartedly appreciated.


'The film industry has stood by Rajpal like a rock and supported him'

He emphasized that Bollywood's strong support for Rajpal Yadav during this time deserves praise. He said, "The film industry has stood by Rajpal like a rock and supported him, which is commendable." It's worth noting that many people, including Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, Rao Inderjit Yadav, and others, have offered financial assistance to Rajpal's family and appealed to others to come forward.


'Everyone has promised help, but it doesn't just mean financial assistance'

Goldie Jain said, "People have taken the initiative to help. Everyone has promised help, but it doesn't just mean financial assistance. It's true that these people (Salman, Ajay, Varun, and David Dhawan) have called. The form and manner of assistance is yet to be decided." They are all well-wishers of Rajpal Bhai.

Rajpal's manager said, "If all goes well, we will hold a press conference." He said, "The bail hearing is on Thursday, and if all goes well, we will hold a press conference." Rajpal Yadav surrendered in Tihar Jail on February 5th in the cheque bounce case. However, he also filed a final plea for relief, which was rejected by the Delhi High Court, resulting in a six-month jail sentence for him.


How did this Rajpal Yadav case originate?

The Beginning

It should be noted that this entire matter began in 2010. He borrowed ₹5 crore from Murli Projects Private Limited for his directorial debut, "Aata Pata Lapata," but the film flopped at the box office. Rajpal was subsequently unable to repay the money to the company. The company subsequently filed a case against him for non-payment and check bouncing. In its recent ruling, the Delhi High Court stated that Yadav must pay ₹1.35 crore in each of the seven cases filed against him and directed that the amount previously deposited with the Registrar General of the High Court be released to the complainants.


Rajpal Yadav's wife Radha Yadav thanked everyone.


Rajpal Yadav's wife Radha Yadav said on Wednesday that many people from the film industry have come forward to support him after he surrendered to Tihar Jail in the check bouncing cases. She told PTI, "Everyone is standing with him. The film industry has been very supportive." We are incredibly grateful to everyone who is coming forward to help.


Sonu Sood had said, "A small signing amount is not a donation, but an honor."

It's worth noting that Sonu Sood was the first from the industry to come forward in support of Yadav. He said that he would cast Rajpal Yadav in one of his films and was offering him a "signing amount" as advance payment. Appealing to others to come forward, Sood said, "A small signing amount, adjusted against future work, is not a donation, but an honor. When one of us is going through a difficult time... this is the way to show that we are more than just an industry." Rajpal Yadav is known for films like "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi," "Waqt," "Phir Hera Pheri," "Partner," "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," "Hungama," and "Chup Chup Ke."
