# From Laughter to Solidarity: Music Mogul Steps Up with Rs 1.11 Crore for Rajpal Yadav's Crisis **Imagine the king of comedy, Rajpal Yadav, trading red carpets for Tihar Jail bars—until a fellow industry insider flips the script with a massive bailout.**[1][3] Beloved for his hilarious antics in blockbusters like *Bhool Bhulaiyaa*, *Hungama*, and *Welcome*, Rajpal Yadav has brought joy to millions with his impeccable comic timing.[1][2][3] But behind the laughs, a decade-old nightmare unfolded: In 2010, he and his wife borrowed around Rs 5 crore to fund his directorial debut *Ata Pata Laapata*. The film flopped, cheques bounced, and under the Negotiable Instruments Act, the debt snowballed to nearly Rs 9 crore with interest and penalties.[1][3][4] Despite Delhi High Court extensions, Rajpal surrendered to Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026, to serve a six-month sentence after the court denied further relief.[1][4][5] Enter music producer **Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav**, owner of GemTunes Music, who extended a lifeline of **Rs 1.11 crore** in financial aid—right after the surrender.[1][2][3][4] "Rajpal ji has given immeasurable joy to audiences and has been an integral part of Indian cinema. This support is not about money; it is about standing with a fellow human being in his time of need. Our industry is a family, and families hold each other when it matters the most," Rao shared.[1][3][4] This act spotlights the raw humanity in Bollywood, where stars rarely rally publicly—Rajpal himself noted, "Everyone is on their own in the industry."[6] The wave of support didn't stop there. Politician Tej Pratap Yadav pledged Rs 11 lakh to Rajpal's family, inspired by Rao's post, while actors like Sonu Sood offered a film role with signing money, and Gurmeet Choudhary joined the chorus.[5][6] It's a reminder that even in tough times, compassion can rewrite stories.
