The actor spent 13 days in prison after failing to repay a 2012 loan for his film, Ata Pata Laapata. The actor has been facing mounting financial struggles ever since. His heartfelt words reflected his deep connection with his fans and colleagues. However, the case is far from over. The court will continue the proceedings and review the repayment details and Yadav’s compliance at the upcoming hearings.

He also expressed gratitude toward the judiciary and those who stood by him. “Thank you, High Court, for giving me a chance to share my side of the story,” Yadav added, acknowledging the court’s decision to allow him temporary freedom.

The actor’s journey through this challenging period was marked by broad industry support. Fellow artists and well-wishers like Sonu Sood, Gurumeet Chaudhary, Salman Khan, and Priyadarshan are publicly voicing their support. His brother, too, reacted positively after the interim bail was granted, saying optimistically, “Our good days are yet to come.” The actor’s wife, Radha Yadav, told PTI, “Everybody has stood by him. The industry has been supportive, a big thank you to everyone who is coming out to help.”
