The rest of us barely had any. So whenever we discussed dinner plans, we\u2019d say, \u2018Let\u2019s go to Rajpal\u2019s place – he\u2019s earning.\u2019 At Rajpal\u2019s house, the stove would be lit in the morning, and cooking would continue till night.

Rajpal Yadav has been sent to jail following an order by the Delhi High Court in a cheque bounce case. The court had earlier directed him to surrender before any further hearing could take place. The case relates to repeated violations of promises made to repay settlement money to a complainant company.
During the hearing, Yadav\u2019s senior lawyer told the court that the actor was ready to deposit Rs 25 lakh immediately. He also said that both sides had informally agreed on a schedule to clear the remaining amount. However, the court refused to grant relief, pointing out that Yadav had already been ordered to surrender on February 4, 2026.
Justice Sharma observed that since the actor had not followed the earlier surrender order, he would only be heard after turning himself in. Following the court\u2019s remarks, Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5. The court stated that he can file a fresh application as per the law after surrendering. Meanwhile, several members of the film industry have come forward to support him during this difficult time.
