Salman Khan has stepped in with a warm, sharply worded show of support for Rajpal Yadav, and his message is already striking a chord with fans who know just how beloved the actor remains across generations. In a note shared after Rajpal’s “dollar rate” remark began circulating widely, Salman chose encouragement over noise, praising the comic actor’s staying power and reminding him of the value he brings to the screen.
Salman’s message read, “Rajpal bhai aap 30 yrs se kaam kar rahe ho aur hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar kyunki aap apna kaam jante ho aur ek value laate ho, kaam toh aapko bohot milega aur issi dollar rate pe milega aur milte rahega. Hakikat yeh hai.” He added, “Aur yeh yaad rakhna ke kabhi kabhi flow mai kuch nikal aata hai, dena hi hai toh dimag mai rakho dil se kaam karo, dollar upar ho ya neeche kya farak padta hai dena toh India mai hi hai.”
Salman Khan’s Message Turns The Focus Back On Rajpal Yadav’s Craft
What makes the note stand out is its tone. Salman did not just defend Rajpal Yadav, he framed him as an actor whose worth has already been proven over decades. By saying “hum sabne aapko repeat kiya hai baar baar,” Salman underlined a truth long visible in Hindi cinema: Rajpal’s performances are not fleeting comic inserts, they are often the moments audiences remember and revisit.
The “dollar rate” line, which had become the centre of chatter online, was folded into Salman’s larger point about perspective, professionalism, and working from the heart. The note also reflected the easy familiarity of industry camaraderie, with Salman speaking directly and informally instead of turning the moment into a formal statement.
Earlier Saurabh Dwivedi jokingly spoke about Rajpal Yadav at Screen Awards with ‘dollar rate’ reference which was in bad taste according to few.
For Rajpal Yadav, the support comes as a timely reminder of his standing in the business. Few actors have built such a durable comic identity while also slipping seamlessly into character parts, supporting roles, and ensemble entertainers.
Rajpal Yadav’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Rajpal Yadav remained consistently visible on screen over the past few years. His 2023 releases included Kathal on Netflix, Dream Girl 2 in theatres, and Apurva on Disney+ Hotstar. In 2024, he featured in titles such as Kaam Chalu Hai, Luv Ki Arrange Marriage, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Naam, Vanvaas, and Baby John, showing how reliably he continues to find space across mainstream comedy, drama, and franchise films.
As of April 2026, one of his confirmed theatrical releases is Bhooth Bangla, the Priyadarshan-directed horror comedy fronted by Akshay Kumar, with Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav in the cast. Another confirmed 2026 title is Welcome To The Jungle, which keeps him inside a large-scale commercial ensemble.
Salman Khan, meanwhile, was last seen in Sikandar, which released in March 2025 and later landed on Netflix in May 2025. As of April 2026, he also has Maatrubhumi lined up for theatrical release, while a new action thriller with director Vamshi Paidipally has been confirmed to go on floors this month.
