Stardom brings fame and name, but there's no guarantee of financial security. Rajpal Yadav is a prime example of this. Comedian Rajpal Yadav, who has entertained audiences with his acting for 25 years, is currently facing difficult circumstances.

Rajpal Yadav surrendered to Delhi's Tihar Jail on February 5th in a cheque-bounce case. Rajpal Yadav is not the only actor facing financial hardship. Before him, many prominent Bollywood stars have already been mired in debts worth millions of rupees.

Amitabh Bachchan
The megastar of the century, Amitabh Bachchan, also faced a period of financial hardship. However, he never gave up, even in the face of adversity. Between the 1990s and 2000, there was a period in Big B's life when films produced under the banner of his production company ABCL failed, leaving him with a debt of approximately ₹90 crore. During this time, businessman Dhirubhai Ambani extended a helping hand.

However, Amitabh Bachchan politely declined his assistance. Facing financial difficulties, Bachchan sought work from Yash Raj, who cast him in their film "Mohabbatein." When Amitabh Bachchan was offered the TV show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" in the 2000s, he took it and cleared all his debts.

Raj Kapoor
Bollywood's original showman, Raj Kapoor, also faced financial difficulties at one point. In 1970, he risked everything to make the film "Mera Naam Joker." The film took six years to make. The five-hour-long film flopped. Reports suggest that the actor was so heavily in debt that he had to mortgage his house and studio. However, Raj Kapoor persisted and made "Bobby" in 1973, which brought his career back to its peak.

AK Hangal
Actor AK Hangal, who played important roles in major films like Namak Haram, Deewar, Shaukeen, Bawarchi, and Lagaan, acted in over 200 films in his career. However, despite this, he faced financial difficulties between 2011 and 2012. The actor passed away at the age of 98. Reports suggest that in his final days, he didn't even have the money for medical treatment, and many stars, including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, stepped forward to help him.

Gurcharan Singh
Actor Gurcharan Singh, who played Sodhi in "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah," revealed in an interview that he was facing financial hardship. He was burdened with a massive debt of ₹1.2 to 1.5 crore (₹1.5 crore). Health problems, business failures, and EMI payments of ₹5.5 to ₹6 million (₹5.5 to ₹6 million), had exhausted all his savings.

Jackie Shroff
Jackie Shroff also faced financial hardship. In 2003, his wife Ayesha Shroff produced the film "Boom." The film flopped at the box office (the original text spelled "Boom," which was incorrect in context), leaving the actor deeply in debt. It's said that this was a time in his life when he even had to sell his household furniture.
