Actor Rajpal Yadav recently surrendered to the Tihar Jail following failure to repay a loan of Rs 9 crore and a cheque bounce case. Before surrendering, he made an emotional confession, saying that he was facing financial problems and had no one to seek help. After his statement went viral, Sonu Sood stepped in to offer a “small signing amount” to Yadav. Now, television star Gurmeet Choudhary has also come forward to offer help.

Gurmeet has offered to help Rajpal and also urged members of the film fraternity to help the actor in this difficult time.
On Tuesday, he took to his X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “It breaks my heart to see a senior, immensely talented artist like Rajpal Yadav ji going through such a painful phase. He has given us countless smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Today, he needs us.”
“As a fellow actor and as a human being, I am stepping forward to help in whatever way I can. I humbly request all producers, directors, and members of our film fraternity—let’s come together, with compassion and humanity, and find a solution. Our industry is a family. And family does not abandon its own,” he added.
Tej Pratap Yadav offers Rs 11 lakh to Rajpal Yadav
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav announced Rs 11 lakh financial aid for Rajpal Yadav. Tej Pratap Yadav came to know about Rajpal Yadav's financial crunch through a post by his elder brother Inderjit Yadav. "In this extremely difficult time, I and the entire JJD (Jan Shakti Janata Dal) family stand firmly with the bereaved family with our deepest condolences and solidarity," he wrote in a post on X.
The Jan Shakti Janata Dal (JJD) national president added, "With a spirit of human compassion and support, on behalf of the JJD family, I am providing financial assistance of Rs 11,00,000 (Eleven lakh rupees) to the family."
Rajpal Yadav debt case
Rajpal Yadav reportedly took a Rs 5 crore loan in 2010 for his directorial project Ata Pata Laapata. But due to the poor box office performance, he had to incur a loss and failed to repay the debt, followed by legal proceedings. The dues had swelled to nearly Rs 9 crore. Though he deposited Rs 75 lakh through two demand drafts, a bulk amount remained unpaid. On February 5, 2026, his counsel offered a Rs 25 lakh cheque and a new payment schedule, but the judge refused to recall the surrender order. The actor surrendered on the same day to serve his six-month sentence.
