FWICE has appealed to the film industry to support actor Rajpal Yadav, who is currently imprisoned due to a decade-old cheque bounce case involving a fraud of 9 crores.
Actor Rajpal Yadav is facing a challenging time as he has surrendered to Tihar Jail in Delhi due to a legal case stemming from a cheque bounce issue that dates back ten years, involving an alleged fraud of 9 crores. As the situation evolves, support from the entertainment industry has begun to materialize. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has now publicly called for artists to stand with Yadav during this difficult period.
Following appeals from fellow actors Sonu Sood and Gurmeet Choudhary for public support, FWICE issued a letter on Wednesday urging solidarity rather than direct financial support. The organization emphasizes that the appeal is about showcasing unity for a fellow member of the industry in distress. BN Tiwari, the president of FWICE, commented in an interview that the federation stands firmly behind Rajpal Yadav, acknowledging that his circumstances arose from a series of poor creative decisions that have ultimately led to this predicament.
The federation is calling for industry peers and other organizations to come forward to assist Yadav, reinforcing the message that he deserves support rather than judgment in light of his current conviction. As the case continues to unfold, this appeal signifies the industry's readiness to unite for one of its own during challenging times, showcasing an important aspect of camaraderie in the film community.
