Rajpal Yadav claims he suffered Rs 250 crore loss in 13 years: ‘Nobody can buy me’

Rajpal Yadav claims he suffered Rs 250 crore loss in 13 years: ‘Nobody can buy me’

Rajpal Yadav, a well-known actor, has recently revealed that he incurred a financial loss of between Rs 200 crore and Rs 250 crore over the course of 13 years, from 2013 to 2026. The actor has been embroiled in a cheque-bounce case since 2013, resulting in multiple jail terms. Yadav has now denied the allegations made against him in the cheque bounce case and emphatically stated that "nobody can buy me."

In an interview with ANI, Yadav recounted the loss of at least 50 potential tours abroad due to his financial troubles, as well as a significant reduction in fees from his clients. He emphasized that he is a passionate student of the arts and that he chases perfection in his craft, asserting that fees will always follow him.

Yadav also revealed that he has cleared all his debts, whether he owes money to 200 people or not, and that he is committed to repaying any outstanding amounts. He firmly stated that money cannot buy him, asserting his dedication to his art. Despite facing financial challenges, Yadav remains confident in his career and existence as an actor, noting that he still receives adoration from fans at airports.

In July, the Delhi High Court upheld the conviction and sentence of Yadav and his wife, Radha, in multiple cheque-bounce cases stemming from a financial dispute with Murli Projects Pvt Ltd. Despite assurances from Yadav and his senior counsel, the court found him guilty of failing to honor his commitments. However, the court granted him multiple adjournments and suspended his sentence due to the assurances provided.

In February, when Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail, several fellow actors, including Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn, offered financial assistance, though the dispute remains unresolved.
