Actor Rajpal Yadav was caught on camera, snatching the mobile phone of a journalist after being miffed over a question by the latter. In the video, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor can be seen taking away the reporter’s phone after he asked him about his recent apology over telling people not to burst firecrackers during Diwali.
The journalist, who works at a leading Hindi publication, shared the video from Uttar Pradesh. In the clip, Rajpal, surrounded by other people, is seen answering questions from the media. The journalist asked him what his current film line-up looks like to which the actor replied that the audience would get to see him every 1.5 months now. When the reporter went on to ask about Rajpal's recent statement on Diwali, the actor was quick to snatch the phone away. The journalist who shared the video also claimed that Rajpal tried to throw the phone, but the video still got recorded, and is now going viral on social media.
Previously, Rajpal had asked his fans on social media not to burst crackers on Diwali as it causes noise and air pollution. However, upon backlash, he deleted that plea and shared a new video on his social media handles apologising for his previous message.
In the video, Rajpal said in Hindi, “Hello friends. Best wishes for Diwali! Two days ago, a video was shared on my social media handles, which I got removed at once. I profusely apologise for whoever was offended by the video from around the world. I wish you celebrate Diwali with fanfare, be healthy and busy. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!” He also added in the caption that his intention was not to dim the celebrations that come with Diwali.
On the film front, Rajpal reprised his role of Chota Pandit in Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The film also stars Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Nene, among others.
