Around 40 students from a gurukul school in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur district have expressed disappointment after comedian-actor Rajpal Yadav did not meet or respond to them — despite their earlier gesture of sending him money collected from their pocket savings while he was in jail.
According to authorities of Gurukul Seva Trust, the students had filled a piggy bank with money saved from their daily pocket expenses and sent it by post to Yadav’s ancestral village address in Kundra on February 21 as a token of support. Along with the savings, the children had enclosed an emotional letter expressing their wish to meet him after his release.
In a 29-second video that has now gone viral, the children can be heard saying, “Namaste Rajpal bhaiya, we have learnt that you have returned home after being released from jail. Congratulations to you. We all want to meet you and know whether you received the help we sent. If you did, why did you not respond to our letter? We are upset with you.”
They further added that even if he could not meet them in person, he could have at least spoken to them to reassure them.
