Renowned Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav faced a personal tragedy as his father, Naurang Yadav, passed away on Friday, January 24, 2025. Naurang Yadav had been undergoing treatment at AIIMS, Delhi, where he breathed his last. Rajpal, who was shooting in Thailand, received the heartbreaking news and rushed back to Delhi to be with his family.

Reports suggest that Naurang Yadav had not been in good health for the past few days, and his condition had worsened despite medical care. The loss has left the actor and his family in profound grief.

Rajpal Yadav is one of Bollywood's most versatile actors, known for his exceptional comic timing and impactful performances. While he often brings smiles to audiences with his work, the actor recently found himself in headlines for a different and more serious reason.

In December 2024, Rajpal Yadav, along with Kapil Sharma, Remo D'Souza, and Sugandha Mishra, received a threatening email. The message, sent from an individual claiming to be "Bishnu" under the alias "Don," warned of an attack on Kapil Sharma and his team. The sender cited their show's association with Salman Khan as the reason for the threats.

Taking the matter seriously, Rajpal's wife, Radha Yadav, filed a formal complaint at Amboli Police Station in Mumbai. The email emphasized the gravity of the threat and urged the recipients to treat the matter with confidentiality.

Rajpal Yadav addressed the situation in a brief audio statement. He confirmed informing both the cybercrime department and the police about the threat and chose not to comment further. "It's not my place to discuss details about an ongoing investigation," he explained. The incident added to the growing concerns over online threats faced by public figures.

On the professional front, Rajpal Yadav continues to entertain audiences with his unique roles. He was last seen in the film Baby John, directed by Kalees, which starred Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh in lead roles. His consistent performances have cemented his place as a beloved figure in Indian cinema.
