Rajpal Yadav: Life has its ups and downs, but the joy of family can soften every difficulty. A similar scene unfolded in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav was seen sharing the joy with his family. Immediately after his release from Tihar Jail, he headed straight to his ancestral village and attended his niece's wedding.
Reached the village as soon as he came out of jail
Rajpal Yadav was sent to Tihar Jail in early February in connection with an old check-bounce case. He surrendered on February 5th. The Delhi High Court subsequently granted him bail until March 18th, imposing a provisional stay on his sentence. The court stipulated a deposit of ₹1.5 crore (15 million rupees). Following this, a release warrant was issued by the Karkardooma Court on February 17th. Upon his release, Rajpal Yadav headed straight to his village in Shahjahanpur, where preparations were underway for his niece's wedding.
Rajpal was seen in desi style
Upon reaching the village, Rajpal Yadav put aside his stardom and appeared in a completely desi style. Wearing a dhoti and kurta, he welcomed the wedding procession. He greeted the guests with an open heart, shared a laugh, and completely immersed himself in the wedding atmosphere. He even danced to Salman Khan's song "Teri Chunariya" during the mehendi ceremony. He was also seen having fun with his wife. For the villagers, his arrival was like a celebration, and a large crowd gathered to see him.
