Rajpal Yadav's Debt: Bollywood Rallies as Actor Faces Jail Over Rs 9 Crore Dues

• Actor Rajpal Yadav is serving a six-month jail sentence after his plea was rejected in a cheque bounce case, surrendering at Tihar Jail on February 5.
• He took a Rs 5 crore loan in 2010 for a production venture, which accumulated to nearly Rs 9 crore with interest and penalties.
• The Delhi High Court rejected his request for an extension, stating celebrity status does not justify special treatment, even after an offer of Rs 25 lakh and a new payment plan.
• Despite partial payments, about Rs 9 crore remains outstanding; two demand drafts totaling Rs 75 lakh were deposited in October 2025.
• Bollywood celebrities like Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, Guru Randhawa, Anees Bazmee, and others, along with politician Tej Pratap Yadav, have offered financial support and work opportunities.
