He is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. "When you are stuck in a situation, and at that point, the people for whom you have been working for 20 years stand by you," he said, reflecting on his experience. "Whether it is a child or a senior citizen, it does not matter. People prayed for me, others supported me with tan, mann, dhan, whatever they could. That made me a hundred years younger."
Grateful for the support
Showcasing his gratitude to all the support during crises, he added, "I feel I am not indebted to so many people from around the world who wished well for me. Yeh jo karz hua hai poori duniya ka mere upar, iss karz mein main doobna chahta hoon (I feel I am in debt to the entire world, and I want to stay in it)."
Yadav on near-death experience
Recalling a scary episode from his childhood, he said, "I have seen death from up close. I almost drowned in the Ganga. At that point, I told myself to keep fighting, to try to surface. You fight the pressure of the water pulling you down. Aapki aadhi jaan nikal jaati hai (You lose half your strength)."
Calling himself a fighter, he adds, "In my life, I got sympathy and love from my family and so many other families in the world. So much the world and Indian cinema have given me, it keeps me fighting. I want to live every minute of my life in peace now. Raahat ki saans chahiye. Tabhi has paunga or hasa paunga (Only then can I laugh and make others laugh)."
