New Delhi: A businessman who once extended a loan to Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has spoken publicly about the distress he faced while trying to recover the money, revealing that the situation pushed him to the brink both emotionally and financially.
According to the lender, the funds were not spare capital but money he himself had borrowed from a bank. When repayments did not arrive on time, he found himself under mounting pressure from financial institutions. “I was helpless… I cried like a child,” he reportedly said, describing sleepless nights and repeated visits to recover his dues.
The businessman explained that the delay affected not only his business but also his personal life. Bank notices and accumulating interest created severe stress, forcing him to approach legal channels. He claimed that despite several attempts to resolve the matter amicably, he saw no option but to escalate the case.
The controversy dates back several years, when the actor allegedly failed to repay the borrowed amount within the agreed timeline. The case eventually led to legal consequences for Yadav, drawing widespread media attention at the time.
While the actor has since resumed public appearances and professional commitments, the lender says the episode left lasting scars. “People only see celebrities’ success, not the suffering of those stuck in disputes with them,” he added.
The incident highlights the risks involved in informal financial dealings in the entertainment industry, where personal trust often substitutes formal safeguards — sometimes with costly consequences.
