A 17-year-old boy with a typical face, 5 feet tall, and his life goal stands in line for the Army recruitment rally. When an army officer enters the queue for inspection, he kicks the boy out. The boy’s height prevents him from achieving his aspirations and breaks his heart.
But the boy didn’t give up hope and began working hard for the job. Within a few days, the boy’s luck shines, and he is hired as a tailor in an ordinance factory. The boy happily returns to his village and shares the good news. A family from Kulara, a small town in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, started celebrating.
The boy’s life took a turn after this. He is currently the uncrowned acting king of Bollywood and comedy king and worked on nearly 200 movies. The actor established himself as such a star in Bollywood that audiences were always in awe of him. We are speaking of the brilliant Rajpal Yadav.
Rajpal Yadav’s story of becoming the undisputed king of comedy in Bollywood
Even though Rajpal Yadav has become a Bollywood sensation today, the desi spirit of the village still pervades his demeanor. Rajpal Yadav, born on March 16, 1971, in Kulra, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has appeared in over 200 films to date.
Rajpal Yadav was also only 20 years old and there was a mountain of sorrow in front of him. In an interview with Lallantop, speaking about his experience, Rajpal Yadav said, “I was only 20 years old in those days and did not have that much understanding. Didn’t know how to deal with sorrows. But my mother, aunt, and all the women in the family took care of my daughter.”
Rajpal Yadav then turned his emphasis to theater, enrolling at the Bharatendu Natya Academy in 1992. He received acting training here for two years before traveling to the National School of Drama. After finishing his acting degree, he moved to Mumbai to pursue his dream of working in the film industry.
Rajpal Yadav’s first breakthrough in Bollywood
Rajpal Yadav began working on his first film, Dil Kya Kare, in 1999. However, this film did not significantly contribute to Rajpal’s career. But Ram Gopal Varma’s gaze fell on Rajpal. At the time, Ram Gopal Varma was casting for his film, Jungle. Rajpal Yadav was also cast in the film. When this film was released in 2000, huge celebrities were shocked by Rajpal’s performance. From here, Rajpal Yadav began to act like a successful film star.
Following this, Rajpal Yadav played outstanding roles in films such as Chandni Bar, Company, Lal Salaam, Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi, and Haasil, among others. In 2003, Rajpal received the film Hungama, which was directed by Priyadarshan, the king of comedy. From this point forward, his comedic career took off, and he produced a string of excellent films.
He then earned a lot of praise and acclaim for his outstanding roles in Salman Khan‘s Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan‘s Chup Chup Ke. His character Bandiya became a go-to name and is still a meme favorite.
