Salman Khan and Rajpal Yadav have worked together in several films over the years and share a professional bond. Recently, Salman Khan came out in support of Rajpal Yadav after a moment involving the actor at a public event drew attention online.
The situation began during an award show in Mumbai where Rajpal Yadav was speaking about global issues and financial uncertainty. A video from the event showed him saying, “There are so many wars going on, so I keep wondering where to sit and where to think. The rupee and the dollar keep fluctuating so much that it becomes difficult to understand anything. So, I just sit quietly and keep saying ‘peace, peace.’”
During this interaction, journalist Saurabh Dwivedi, who was hosting the event, interrupted him and said, “Rajpal bhai, no matter how much the dollar and rupee fluctuate, aapko utne hi paise lautane padenge jitne udhaar hain (You will still have to repay the same amount you owe).”
Rajpal bhai aap 30 yrs se kaam kar rahe ho aur hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar kyunki aap apna kaam jante ho aur ek value laate ho , kaam toh aapko bohot milega aur issi dollar rate pe milega aur milte rahega . Hakikat yeh hai .

After this remark, Rajpal Yadav remained calm and responded with a smile, “Masla toh sunlo. Mai toh masla sunana chahta hun. (Just listen to the issue. I just want to share that).” The clip quickly spread on social media, leading to mixed reactions from viewers.
Soon after, Salman Khan shared a message on X addressing Rajpal Yadav. He wrote, “Rajpal bhai aap 30 yrs se kaam kar rahe ho aur hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar kyunki aap apna kaam jante ho aur ek value laate ho, kaam toh aapko bohot milega aur issi dollar rate pe milega aur milte rahega. Hakikat yeh hai. (Rajpal brother, you have been working for the past 30 years, and all of us have worked with you on repeat because you know your work and bring value to the films. You will get a lot of work and at this Dollar rate).”

He further added, “Aur yeh yaad rakhna ke kabhi kabhi flow mai kuch nikal aata hai,dena hi hai toh dimag mai rakho dil se kaam karo, dollar upar ho ya neeche kya farak padta hai dena toh India mai hi hai @rajpalofficial. (And remember this, sometimes something comes out in flow. If you want to give back, keep it in your mind and work with your heart. It doesn’t matter if the dollar is low or high, you have to give it in India.)”
On the work front, Rajpal Yadav is expected to appear in Bhooth Bangla. Salman Khan is preparing for his upcoming film Maatrubhumi, which is expected to release soon.
