Rajpal Yadav, an Indian actor known for his comedic roles, has come to the defense of senior journalist Saurabh Dwivedi following a controversial remark made during an award show in Mumbai. While Dwivedi, who was hosting the event, referenced Yadav's financial troubles, the actor initially found humor in the situation. However, after receiving support from fellow actor Salman Khan, who praised Yadav's decades-long contribution to cinema, Yadav took to social media to request his fans to refrain from trolling Dwivedi. In a heartfelt video, Yadav referred to Dwivedi and co-host Zakir Khan as his 'younger brothers' and expressed his respect for them. He emphasized that any hurt caused to Dwivedi was also hurtful to him, stating, “Saurabh ka dil dukhana matlab mera dil dukhana hai.” The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with some netizens criticizing Yadav for defending Dwivedi too quickly after Khan's support.
