Salman Khan Supports Rajpal Yadav Amid Cheque Bounce Case Debate
Salman Khan supports Rajpal Yadav amid ongoing cheque bounce case.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has voiced his support for fellow actor Rajpal Yadav, praising his long-standing contribution to the film industry amid a recent controversy surrounding the comedian’s ongoing legal case. Salman commended Yadav’s consistency and the value he brings to his performances over a career spanning more than three decades.
The support comes in the wake of a viral moment from the Screen Awards held in Mumbai on April 5, where a joke referencing Yadav’s cheque bounce case drew criticism online. During an on-stage interaction involving journalist Saurabh Dwivedi and comedian Zakir Khan, remarks about fluctuating currency and loan repayment were perceived by many as being in poor taste.
Reacting to the situation, Salman Khan took to social media platform X to express his support, highlighting Yadav’s dedication and professionalism. He emphasized that the actor’s talent ensures continued work opportunities, regardless of temporary setbacks, and urged him to stay focused on his craft.

In response, Rajpal Yadav expressed gratitude, thanking Salman for acknowledging his journey and describing him as a guiding figure. The exchange between the two actors resonated with fans, with many praising the show of solidarity within the film industry during a challenging time.
Yadav is currently dealing with a Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case linked to a loan taken for his 2010 film Ata Pata Laapata. The actor had originally borrowed Rs 5 crore, which increased due to interest and penalties. He has deposited Rs 1.5 crore so far and was recently granted interim bail in the matter.
The incident has also sparked a broader debate about the limits of humour, particularly when it touches on personal or legal issues. Several members of the film fraternity have reportedly reached out to support Yadav, underscoring a sense of camaraderie within the industry.
