Salman Khan Stands By Rajpal Yadav After Comedian Is Mocked At Award Show

Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has come out in support of top actor Salman Khan. The host’s comments towards Rajpal Yadav at the recent ‘Screen Awards 2026’ ceremony held in Mumbai have become controversial. Referring to the cheque bounce case that Rajpal had faced in the past, the host said, ‘Rajpal bhai, no matter how much the dollar rate increases or decreases, you have to repay the loan you have taken in the same amount.’ Rajpal Yadav was a bit embarrassed by these comments.

However, Salman Khan, who responded to this incident, announced his full support for Rajpal Yadav. On this occasion, Salman X posted a post praising Rajpal Yadav’s talent. ‘Rajpal Bhai, you have been in this industry for the last 30 years. You know what your work is, that’s why we all take you back to films. You bring a special value to the film. You will always find work, opportunities will keep coming to you at the current rate.. This is true,’ Salman said.

Moreover, responding to the comments about the dollar rate, he instilled confidence in him by joking, “Sometimes words come like that, but ignore them and work with your mind. We will know the difference whether the dollar increases or decreases. We give in Indian currency, right?” While netizens are criticizing the host for making fun of a senior actor in front of everyone, everyone is praising Salman Khan’s response. This development, which took place at the award ceremony held in Mumbai on April 5, has now become a topic of discussion in Bollywood.
