Ghamand Agaya: Netizens Slam Saurabh Dwivedi For Insulting Rajpal Yadav With Dollar Remark Amid His Legal Case

Saurabh Dwivedi Rajpal Yadav news: Journalist Saurabh Dwivedi has attracted the ire of social media users following his comments on Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav at the Screen Awards 2026. Yadav, who has been embroiled in a legal case, found support from Salman Khan, tinsel town celebrities and his fans amid the hullabaloo on the internet.

When the creatives wrote the script for the Screen Awards 2026, they didn't know that the light-hearted moment on rising debt and currency fluctuations would earn flak from the audience. During the awards ceremony, Saurabh Dwivedi joked with Rajpal Yadav about repayment of his loan.

The moment unfolded after a serious chat on the oil crisis amid the Israel-Iran conflict in the Middle East. "So much is happening in the world with so many wars going on. How do I interpret the rupee-dollar fluctuation? I can't fathom what is happening," Rajpal was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

Responding to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa actor, Saurabh Dwivedi, referred to his cheque bounce case. He quipped, "Rajpal bhai, dollar kitna bhi upar-neeche ho jaye, aapko utne hi paise lautane padenge, jitne udhar hai (Rajpal brother, no matter what happens to dollar-rupee, you will have to return every penny you owe)."
