The actor’s bail hearing is scheduled for today, and the family remains hopeful for his release. Several Bollywood stars have publicly voiced their support, including Sonu Sood, Mika Singh, Gurmeet Choudhary, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Varun Dhawan. Their statements of encouragement came in the wake of an emotional interview in which Yadav reportedly said he felt he had no friends in the industry.
Yadav’s manager noted that while many had pledged assistance, financial settlements of this magnitude take time to arrange. The family is striving to remain mentally strong and optimistic about the actor’s release.
