Recently, Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav, widely acclaimed for his acting became a topic of discussion for quite a different reason. Rajpal uploaded a video urging people not to burst firecrackers on Diwali so that it could promote an eco-friendly Diwali. But the video provoked his audience, some of whom expressed their displeasure on social media. That prompted Rajpal to remove the original video and post an apology.
Rajpal Yadav’s Reaction When Asked About the Video
Things escalated on November 2 when Rajpal Yadav interacted with a journalist from Palia town in Lakhimpur Kheri part of Uttar Pradesh. Rajpal did not like the journalist when he asked him about the shooting of his next film and it seemed to bother him. Then, the conversation took a tense turn when the journalist brought up the Diwali video controversy. This line of questioning visibly frustrated Rajpal, and, as seen in a viral video, he even attempted to grab the reporter’s recording device. The video clip capturing Rajpal’s reaction spread rapidly online. The journalist posted it on social media with a description explaining the scene: “Film actor Rajpal Yadav reached Palia town… he got so angry at a question that he tried to snatch the journalist’s mobile phone.” This incident quickly sparked conversation and debate on social platforms, with many viewers surprised by the usually calm actor’s reaction.
Rajpal Yadav’s Apology and Clarification
This time deleting the first video he recorded to post an apology instead. In an emotional clip, he said that was not his intention when he described firecrackers to people as dangerous. He pointed out that he aimed to persuade people to celebrate Diwali happily but safely. Alongside the video, Rajpal wrote, “I apologize from the bottom of my heart. My aim was not to reduce the happiness of Diwali. Diwali is the festival of happiness and light for us, and making it beautiful for everyone is our real festival.” This apology video also came around the same time as the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a film featuring Kartik Aaryan, where Rajpal plays a role. Observers feel his apology might have been partly to avoid further controversy right before the movie’s release.
What’s Next for Rajpal Yadav?
Rajpal Yadav’s video and his response to the video stirred mixed reactions. While some fans appreciate his attempt to clarify and apologize, others remain still unhappy. Rajpal’s fans, however, seem hopeful that this event won’t overshadow his long-standing contribution to Bollywood’s comedy scene and are eager to see him shine again in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
