Actor Rajpal Yadav breaks silence on Sonu Sood’s public film offer amid his ongoing Rs. 9 crore cheque bounce case, urging people to move past the notion that he needs to seek work.
Actor Rajpal Yadav has responded to Sonu Sood’s recent public gesture of offering him a film amid the ongoing Rs. 9 crore cheque bounce case. While thanking Sood for his support, Yadav firmly stated that people should move past the misconception that he needs to ask for work.
Speaking to the Indian Express, Yadav clarified that he continues to receive ample professional opportunities and is actively working across multiple projects. He stressed that financial or legal difficulties should not automatically be equated with professional decline.
“Please get over the misconception that I need to ask for work”
Reacting to Sonu Sood’s social media post, Yadav said that the narrative around him being dependent on others for roles is misleading. He asserted that he currently has significantly more work than what is being assumed and remains busy across different formats, including films, web series and stage performances.
The actor added that while he appreciates empathy and goodwill from colleagues, he wants his work and career graph to be viewed independently of his legal troubles.
He said, “Please get over the misconception that I need to keep asking for work. And there is no shame in asking for work. I live through my job, cinema is my passion, and I work in such a way that I get four times more work. I work even on vacations. Work doesn’t find me, it has lived with me for the last 11 years.”
