With social media and him in prison, there were a lot of things going on at the time. We also had a wedding at home at the same time, and there are young children at home. I was just trying to put everything together, manage things, and keep everyone together,” he said to Curly Tales.He added that his main concern is to ensure stability at home while hoping for Rajpal’s release. First of all, it was very important for him to come out.Speaking about her children, she said, “My eldest daughter knew everything about social media, so we explained things to her.

‘I’m sad for my family, not for me’
Rajpal Yadav, on his part, admitted that the trauma of the incident affected him deeply—especially because of its impact on his loved ones.He said: “Radha had nothing to do with any of these issues. All the meetings and everything related to the case was conducted by me, “But what happens is that, whatever it is, mentally and physically, the trauma affects the whole family.He continued to praise Radha for her strength in times of crisis. “Radha managed everything—whether it was the family, commuting between Mumbai and the city, or taking care of our blended family—it was amazing. I say this not only as a man, but as a woman, I respect him a hundred times more than now. I don’t think I will be able to repay what he did.”
Marriage, education and building a life together
