Bollywood Solidarity: Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn & Sonu Sood Step Up for Rajpal Yadav in Rs 9-Crore Debt Saga — Entertainment Roundup
Good evening and welcome to One World News — Entertainment Update. I’m Apoorva, bringing you the top stories from film and TV around the world in tonight’s entertainment roundup.
In a heart-warming and surprising turn of events in the ongoing legal and financial troubles of veteran Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav, some of the biggest names in Indian cinema are stepping forward to offer their support. From helping with his staggering Rs 9-crore debt to navigating a complicated cheque-bounce case, the film fraternity has shown a remarkable spirit of solidarity that has warmed fans and industry insiders alike.
Rajpal Yadav, renowned for his comic timing and memorable performances in films across decades, has been entangled in a legal battle that has drawn significant public and media attention. The trouble stems from a decade-old loan linked to his 2012 film Ata Pata Laapata — a movie that, despite its memorable cast and premise, failed to perform at the box office. The loan, reportedly around Rs 5 crore, accumulated massive interest and penalties over the years, pushing total liabilities to nearly Rs 9 crore.

The situation reached a critical point when the Delhi High Court recently dismissed Rajpal’s plea for extension to settle his dues. Consequently, he surrendered at Tihar Jail, where he awaited further legal proceedings. The development sent shockwaves across the entertainment industry and prompted an outpouring of concern from colleagues, fans, and collaborators.
According to Rajpal’s manager, Goldie, prominent Bollywood stars have privately and publicly pledged significant financial assistance to help the actor meet his obligations and navigate toward a resolution. Among the confirmed contributors are two of Bollywood’s biggest names: Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn. These industry heavyweights have stepped in to help Rajpal manage part of the debt, a gesture that has drawn widespread praise across social media and entertainment circles.
The news was first reported by NDTV, highlighting the generosity of Salman and Devgn in what has become a defining moment of gratitude and support within the film community. Their contributions are seen not just as financial help but as powerful symbolism of camaraderie and respect for a fellow artist whose body of work has brought laughter and joy to millions.
But the support doesn’t stop there. Other well-known personalities, including Sonu Sood, Varun Dhawan, and veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, have also extended their support in various forms. While specific figures from these contributions have not been publicly disclosed, the collective backing represents a united front of Bollywood’s inner circle rallying to help one of their own.
Industry insiders attest that these gestures epitomize the often unspoken bonds between artists and peers in the film world. At a time when Yadav’s future seemed bleak, this surge of solidarity has ignited renewed hope among his family, friends, and fans. Many believe that with this level of backing — alongside ongoing legal representation — Rajpal is in a strong position for a favorable bail hearing and continued support through his recovery from this difficult phase.
As the news continues to unfold, supporters and well-wishers online have also voiced their encouragement. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of love and optimism, with hashtags celebrating Rajpal’s contributions to Indian cinema trending intermittently. Fans have reminded the world that beyond the courts and controversies, millions still cherish Rajpal Yadav for his unforgettable performances and vibrant on-screen personalities.
In related developments, even personalities outside mainstream acting have shown solidarity. Singer Mika Singh recently pledged financial support, offering to contribute funds during this challenging time, further underscoring how widespread the response has been from various segments of the entertainment world.
These efforts collectively form a larger narrative — one where industry responsibility, friendship, and empathy take center stage against the backdrop of legal complexity and financial strain. For many observers and followers of Bollywood, this becomes not just another news item, but a testament to how the industry can rally meaningfully when one of its own is in need.
