Veteran comedian Rajpal Yadav’s incarceration in Tihar Jail for defaulting on a Rs 5 crore loan has shocked fans. After court-mandated surrender on February 6, the actor known for decades of laughter faces a grim reality. Enter Sonu Sood, the real-life hero turning his gaze to industry woes.
In a heartfelt X post, Sood mourned Yadav’s situation. ‘He’s entertained us for years with his genius,’ he wrote. ‘Circumstances can turn harsh, unrelated to one’s skill.’ Sood announced Yadav’s inclusion in his next project, advocating for a nominal signing fee as respect earned through past work.
‘Producers, directors, colleagues – this is our call to stand together,’ Sood emphasized. ‘Industry means family; we prove it by lifting each other in dark hours.’ The message resonated, with users praising the gesture amid widespread shares.
Yadav’s filmography boasts blockbusters such ‘Aap Ka Sapan Money Money,’ ‘S Company,’ and serious roles that won hearts. Viral clips of his surrender-day anguish, voicing money troubles and isolation, tug at heartstrings.
Sood’s move revives hopes for Bollywood’s support system. Beyond headlines, it underscores a shift: from glamour to genuine care. As Yadav endures jail life, the buzz grows – could this spark a wave of solidarity for struggling stars?
