NewDelhi: Actor Rajpal Yadav has been in the news for last few months over professional controversies. He recently featured on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast where he shared lesser known facts about his personal life and also addressed the 13-year age gap between him and his wife Radha Yadav.
How Rajpal met Radha
Rajpal Yadav opened up on how he met his wife Radha. He recalled, “We met in Calgary. Even today, I don’t understand how a man from Uttar Pradesh found a life partner there. But it turned out beautifully, I didn’t realise then that she would become my backbone…My aunt used to say, ‘Langoor ko hoor mil gayi’ (a plain man got a beautiful wife), and I used to feel the same.”
Adding more, he said, “I respect her a lot. There’s an age gap of 10–12 years between us, but our communication has always been strong. In fact, when we met, her Hindi was better than mine. She knew five languages… A lot of my friends still ask me, ‘How did you manage this?’ She buys my clothes. I trust her choices – if she could choose me, she can choose anything well. She manages all my expenses. I’m not someone who keeps track of accounts too much.”
Rajpal Yadav’s marriage & kids
The couple first met in 2001 on the set of the film “The Hero” and, after dating for two years, tied the knot in a private ceremony. Rajpal Yadav and his wife, Radha, got married in 2003 and the couple has two daughters.
Rajpal Yadav also has one daughter from his first wife, who died after childbirth.
Radha’s spiritual connection
In October last year, Rajpal Yadav expressed his gratitude for her guidance and support, highlighting how her presence strengthens his faith and devotion. Wishing his wife on birthday, he shared a heartfelt post reading: “There are two Radha’s in my life, one is my ancestral goddess Radharani who is the tilak of my forehead and one is my adhangini, companion Radha who is my pride and pride! Thank you Radha for coming into my life and keeping me connected with Radha Krishna in the true meaning! Thank you for being the responsible person that you are, the way you have handled home and family, and you have supported me for the last 22 years, it’s commendable! It won’t be incorrect to say, You are great! Love you! God bless you, may you live thousands of years! Happy Birthday.”(sic)
