He was granted interim bail a few days ago, on February 16. Taking to his Instagram account on Saturday, Rajpal announced that he is starting his own YouTube channel.

‘Ye channel aapka hai, enjoy kijiye’

He went on to add that the mission of the channel is, “Bachche, budhe, naujawan, sabko manoranjan ek samaan. Khub sabko arth rupee ankho ka anjan miley, aur saath mein swasthya rehne ke liye achcha blood circulation ke liye achcha manoranjan mile. Ye channel apka hain, enjoy kijiye. Khub share aur subscribe kijiye (From kids to veterans, this channel promises to entertain you all. May all of you stay happy and healthy. This channel is yours, please enjoy. Please share and subscribe too).”

In his first YouTube video, Rajpal shared the same clip, and added a few more lines where he said that he will keep updating about his personal as well as professional life on the platform.

Rajpal Yadav surrendered in Tihar Jail on February 5 after the Delhi High Court declined to grant him more time in long-pending cheque bounce cases. The actor, known for films such as Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Waqt, Phir Hera Pheri, Partner, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hungama and Chup Chup Ke, ran into legal trouble over a long-running ₹9 crore cheque bounce and debt case, which dates back to a loan he took in 2010 to finance his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata.

Several celebrities have stepped forward to support him since the news of his jail term surfaced. Sonu Sood was among the first to publicly offer his help. Gurmeet Choudhary, Guru Randhawa and Mika Singh have offered financial assistance. On the work front, he will be seen next in Bhooth Bangla.
