‘Everyone Supported Me When I Chose Life’
Regarding non-payment of dues issue, Rajesh said that he had no money few months ago and he saw producers were not giving the dues to actors and technicians. He added that people who have bank balance of Rs 1 crore will survive, but what about people like them. Rajesh revealed that he hadn't worked since July 30, 2019 and asked, "Where will I get money from?" He further said, "I only had this one option - to openly seek help from everyone. I could have either embraced death or found ways to live - everyone supported me when I chose life."
‘Acting Is All I Know’
Rajesh broke down and said, "It is not easy to come out in the open and seek help. Khud ko marna padta hai. That is because I do not know anything else. Acting is all I know and all I have done all these years. I am 50, I cannot do anything new right now. If you give me Rs 1 lakh per month and ask me to sit on a chair for six hours every day, I won't do it. That is not what I am used to doing."
‘I Also Got A Call From Sonu Sood’
He revealed that Sonu Sood called him. He said, "I also got a call from Sonu Sood. He has been helping so many people. He knows how tough it is to survive in this city and in the current scenario, we do not even know when work will resume completely."
