Shahjahanpur (UP), February 25 Students of a gurukul school in Shahjahanpur district, Uttar Pradesh, have expressed disappointment after comedian-actor Rajpal Yadav did not meet them despite their earlier gesture of sending him money collected from their pocket savings while he was in jail.
Yadav, however, said he had not yet had the opportunity to spend time with his family members properly and added that he would definitely meet them, hug them, and take photographs with them.
According to school authorities, around 40 students of Gurukul Seva Trust filled a piggy bank with money saved from their pocket expenses and sent it to Yadav's ancestral village address in Kundra by post on February 21 as a token of support when he was lodged in jail. The children also enclosed an emotional letter expressing their desire to meet him after his release.
In a 29-second video that has gone viral, the students are heard saying, "Namaste Rajpal bhaiya, we have learnt that you have returned home after being released from jail. Congratulations to you.
"We all want to meet you and know whether you received the help we sent. If you did, why did you not respond to our letter? We are upset with you."
The children further said in the video that even if he could not meet them, he could at least have spoken to them to reassure them.
