During a press conference in Hyderabad, veteran actor Rajpal Yadav spoke openly on the loan of Rs 9 crore and check bounce case. Rajpal, who made the audience laugh with his comic timing, is this time embroiled in a serious legal dispute.

What did Rajpal Yadav say on the loan of Rs 9 crore?
Rajpal Yadav said that he had taken a loan of Rs 9 crore years ago for a film project. According to him, the money was taken on trust and friendly basis and there was no intention to cheat anyone. With time the dispute escalated and it turned into a legal battle. Yadav reiterated that he was ready to repay the amount, but the matter turned serious due to mutual misunderstandings and personal differences.
Rajpal Yadav from Tihar Jail to interim bail
Rajpal Yadav had taken Rs 5 crore from a Delhi businessman for the film ‘Ata Pata Lapata’ released in 2012. The film flopped and he could not repay the amount, which increased to Rs 9 crore due to interest. In this case, about 7 checks of Rajpal Yadav also bounced. The matter reached the Delhi High Court. Rajpal Yadav surrendered in Tihar Jail earlier this year on the orders of the court for not paying the dues in full and had to spend some time there. Later he got interim bail from the court. During the press conference, when he was presenting his side, his lawyer intervened, which clearly showed that the matter is still sensitive and tense.

Supporters of this actor, who has a strong fan following across the country, believe that this phase will pass and he will come back stronger than before. At present, everyone’s eyes are on the next turn of this legal case.
