Mumbai’s comedy king Rajpal Yadav is back in action. After spending 13 grueling days behind bars in a cheque bounce case, the veteran actor has stepped out and straight into work mode. His release on bail marked a joyful return, first celebrated at his niece’s wedding where videos captured him reveling in the festivities.
But the real buzz now surrounds his professional comeback. In a heartfelt video message, Rajpal shared his excitement about resuming shoots, vowing to keep audiences laughing for years to come. He extended deep gratitude to fans, well-wishers, and those who stood by him during tough times.
Reflecting on a stellar three-decade career, Rajpal reminisced about his humble beginnings. It all started in 1997 with a small role in the Doordarshan serial ‘Swaraj,’ shot near Yerwada Central Jail in Pune. Playing Tilka Manjhi, an tribal freedom fighter who aided rebels against the British, marked his entry into television. That makeup from the sets, he jokes, is still on his face today.
From those modest TV days, Rajpal skyrocketed to Bollywood fame with iconic comedies like ‘Chup Chup Ke,’ ‘Hungama,’ ‘Waqt: The Race Against Time,’ and ‘Garam Masala.’ As he approaches 30 years in cinema by 2027, Mumbai’s supportive spirit has weathered every storm, he says.
Fans are thrilled to see their favorite comedian back, flooding social media with support. Rajpal’s resilience shines through, proving that true talent always bounces back stronger.
