Mumbai: Rajpal Yadav recently attended the Chetak Screen Awards in Mumbai, where the host joked about his cheque-bounce controversy. Amid the ensuing buzz, Salman Khan has stepped forward to support Rajpal.
On Tuesday, Salman took to his X handle and wrote, “Rajpal bhai aap 30 yrs se kaam kar rahe ho aur hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar kyunki aap apna kaam jante ho aur ek value laate ho, kaam toh aapko bohot milega aur issi dollar rate pe milega aur milte rahega. Hakikat yeh hai (Rajpal, you are working for the last 30 years here and we all have worked multiple times with you because we know you know your job and bring value to it. You will continue to get work and at the rate of the dollar. This is the reality).”
“Aur yeh yaad rakhna ke kabhi kabhi flow mai kuch nikal aata hai ,dena hi hai toh dimag mai rakho dil se kaam karo , dollar upar ho ya neeche kya farak padta hai dena toh India mai hi hai (Please remember that we often say things on the flow but let it remain within you. Let the dollar go down what does it matter? You will be giving it in India only) @rajpalofficial,” he added.

During the awards show, Rajpal spoke about changing currency rates.
In response, the host took a dig at him, reminding him of his own pending dues.
“Rajpal bhai, no matter how much the dollar and rupee fluctuate, aapko utne hi paise lautane padenge jitne udhaar hain (You will anyway have to return the due amount),” said the host.
Rajpal responded with a smile, a gesture that earned him praise across social media platforms.
The actor was sent to Tihar Jail in February this year in connection with a Rs 9-crore debt and cheque bounce case. He was granted interim bail on February 16, and has since resumed his professional commitments.
The Delhi High Court subsequently clarified that Rajpal won’t be taken back into custody even after the interim order was vacated.
Rajpal is currently awaiting the release of ‘Bhooth Bangla’, co-starring Akshay Kumar and Tabu.
The film is scheduled to hit theatres on April 17, with paid previews beginning on April 16 at 9 pm.
