Radha Yadav Dismisses False Rumours
In recent days, reports claimed that Rajpal Yadav had been released after an old video resurfaced in which he thanked Salman Khan. However, Radha dismissed these claims and clarified his present status.
"As of now, he is not out of Tihar Jail. The bail hearing is scheduled for Monday (February 16)," she told the publication.
When asked about his well-being, she added, "He is okay, from what I understand."

About The Case
Rajpal Yadav is currently facing legal proceedings in connection with a cheque-bounce case amounting to nearly Rs 9 crore. According to his lawyer, Bhaskar Upadhyay, the actor has already paid Rs 2.5 crore towards the total amount.
The Delhi High Court has sent the actor to jail until at least February 16, after adjourning the hearing on his interim bail plea. His counsel has informed the court that the remaining dues will be paid directly to the complainant, M/s Murali Projects Pvt Ltd, and that funds will be deposited before the court.
The financial troubles reportedly stem from losses incurred after the failure of his 2012 directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata. Unpaid dues gradually escalated to around Rs 9 crore.
On February 2, the court noted that Rajpal was required to pay Rs 1.35 crore in each of the seven cases filed against him and ordered that the amount already deposited with the Registrar General be released to the complainant. In October 2025, two demand drafts worth Rs 75 lakh were submitted, yet a significant amount remained pending.
Meanwhile, his manager has stated that several prominent figures from the industry, including Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, and Sonu Sood, have extended financial assistance during this difficult period.
