Actor Rajpal Yadav has addressed misconceptions surrounding his jail term, stating he was not imprisoned due to inability to repay a ₹5 crore debt but because of a larger legal issue. The case stems from a cheque bounce dispute linked to a loan taken in 2010 for his film Ata Pata Laapata, which failed commercially. Yadav revealed that if it were just about ₹5 crore, the matter would have been resolved earlier, as losses escalated significantly. He also defended himself against fraud allegations, emphasizing that film failures are common and not criminal acts, while expressing faith in the judiciary. (PC: HT)
