Tej Pratap Yadav Extends Financial Help To Actor Rajpal Yadav

Former Bihar Minister Tej Pratap Yadav, estranged son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, has announced financial assistance of ₹11 lakh for Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav. The announcement came after Rajpal Yadav surrendered and was sent to Delhi’s Tihar Jail in connection with a ₹9 crore debt and cheque bounce case. The legal trouble has brought renewed attention to the actor’s long-running financial struggles.

The case dates back to 2010, when Rajpal Yadav took a ₹5 crore loan to fund his directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata. The film’s poor box office performance reportedly led to severe financial issues, eventually resulting in legal action. Before surrendering, the actor admitted that he saw no other option due to lack of funds.

Reacting to the situation, Tej Pratap Yadav said on X that he learned about the family’s suffering through a post and expressed solidarity. He stated that, on humanitarian grounds, the JJD family would provide ₹11 lakh as support. Actors Sonu Sood and Gurmeet Choudhary have also stepped forward, urging the film industry to help Rajpal Yadav during this difficult phase.

Sonu Sood Extends Support to Rajpal Yadav During Tough Time

Actor Rajpal Yadav was recently sent to Tihar Jail in connection with a ₹9 crore debt and cheque bounce case linked to a loan taken during a 2010 film. Before surrendering, Rajpal made an emotional statement, admitting he was under severe financial stress and had no one to seek help from, which moved many across the film industry.

Stepping forward in solidarity, actor Sonu Sood announced that Rajpal will be part of his upcoming film. Sonu also offered him a small signing amount to provide immediate financial relief, making it clear that the gesture was not charity but professional respect and dignity for a talented actor.

Sharing his thoughts on social media, Sonu praised Rajpal’s contribution to cinema and urged fellow filmmakers and colleagues to support him. He emphasized that difficult phases can affect anyone and the industry must stand united to ensure no one feels alone during such times.
