In a recent interview, the actor addressed public perception, industry support and the reality behind the headlines.The speech began with a reference Nawazuddin Siddiqui she once called Rajpal a “good-hearted” person who kept her kitchen open for struggling actors.Responding to this, Rajpal told Shubhankar Mishra, “I will speak from the heart. There are many things I have done that I will not speak about publicly, because the moment you speak about them, their value ceases.”He added that “there are two types of help…one that people know about, and one that remains hidden.”
“There is no one who is not with me”
During his difficult phase, the actor answers questions about whether people were by his side by saying that he always had support.“For the last 25 years… from my hometown to Mumbai, there is no one who is not with me,” he said, adding that his long career itself is proof of the industry’s patronage.Rajpal also points out that he has worked in more than 250 films: “There is no producer, director or actor who has not called me back for work… If the industry had not been with me, how could I have done so many films?”
“It wasn’t for lack of money”
One of the most common perceptions of the public – that an actor with such an extensive filmography should easily be paid 5 million – was also addressed.“That is exactly the question… the day people understand this, they will understand my whole case,” Rajpal said, noting that the matter is much more complex than it seems.Speaking about the jail term, the actor clarified: “I was not jailed because I had no money. It was a bigger issue and a matter of principle.”If it had been around 5 million, he added, “it would have been resolved in 2012 itself”, saying that this problem eventually led to losses of 17-22 million.
The loss of the film and the release of the film
Rajpal also spoke about the film project at the center of the controversy, revealing that a major part was already in place before things went sour.“12 crore was already spent… 22 crore became a project,” he said, adding that the release of the film had been delayed.“If even enemies enter a project, they should be let loose. The audience should decide,” he said.Responding to the cheating allegations, the actor said, “In the film industry, out of 100 films, 20 work and 80 fail… If a film fails, it does not mean that it has been cheated.’He emphasized that setbacks are part of business and should not be misinterpreted.
“I didn’t start this fight”
Despite the long legal battle, Rajpal said he has faith in the system.“I respect the judiciary, the legislature and the executive… I have full faith,” he said, while adding, “I did not start this fight, but it will end because of me.”To conclude his remarks, the actor asked people to look beyond the surface narratives.“There’s been a lot of miscommunication… Just listen to the whole story,” he said, adding that he is presenting his case.
