Rajpal Yadav opens up about his prison sentence: ‘I don’t want to carry the burden of the past’
Actor Rajpal yadav, who was sentenced to three months in prison in 2018 for defaulting on a loan of Rs 5 crore, said he had never fought back for the past decade and a half and did not want to ‘carry the burden of the past’.
Rajpal had contracted a loan of Rs 5 crore in 2010 to make the film Ata Pata Laapata. Delhi-based Murli Projects brought a civil action against actor Shree Naurang Godavari Entertainment’s company when the loan was not repaid.
Speaking of his imprisonment, Rajpal said Times Now Digital, “For the past 15 years, I haven’t said anything in my defense. I don’t think negatively. I don’t know which is negative or positive. But I know my work and where there is work there is karma. I have been doing my karma since I was a kid and I don’t know what is negative or positive. I don’t want to carry the burden of the past with me.
“Let people do what they have to do. If my work is appreciated, it will continue. It’s all about life. Like every day, the rays of the sun are different, just like Rajpal Yadav. He is known for his creativity and has the love of the public. I have a lot of love and I am very happy, ”he added.
Rajpal turned back to back. Earlier this month, he told the Hindustan Times: “In September I finished Ram Gopal Verma’s Dragon Girl in Goa. There was a patchwork left over in Farhan Akhtar’s Hello Charlie, and we have now completed Safaibaaz in Lucknow.
Next month Rajpal will wrap up filming on Hungama 2, Bole Chudiyan and Bhool Bhulaiyya 2. His next release is David Dhawan’s Coolie No 1, starring Varun Dhawan in the lead role. The film is slated for an OTT release on Amazon Prime Video this Christmas.
