When Rajpal Yadav recalled the death of his first wife
A year after their marriage, the actor revealed that they were blessed with a daughter, named Jyoti. But the happiest moment turned into a devastating one as his wife passed away just 15 minute after their daughter's birth. Recounting the tragic moment, Rajpal told Lallantop, "My first wife, she just delivered a baby, a daughter, and died. I was supposed to meet her the next day but was then carrying her dead body on my shoulders. But thanks to my family, my mother, my sister-in-law, it never felt like my daughter didn't have her mother, she grew up with a lot of love."
Who is Rajpal Yadav's daughter?
Born in 1991, Jyoti was raised by Rajpal's mother and sister-in-law following her mother's death. When she turned 15, Rajpal brought her to live with him in Mumbai. By that time, he had already remarried. In 2003, Rajpal tied the knot to Radha after meeting her during a shoot in Canada, where they fell in love. Radha is believed to share a close bond with Jyoti, and raised her with same affection and care.
Who is Rajpal Yadav's son-in-law?
In 2017, Jyoti married Sandeep Yadav, a resident of Etawah in Uttar Pradesh. Sandeep, who works as a bank cashier in Agra, leads a very simple life, away from the glitz and glamour world of his father-in-law. The couple's wedding took place in Rajpal Yadav's hometown, Kundra village in Shahjahanpur district, as per traditional customs. Rajpal kept the celebration intentionally simple, inviting only relatives and villagers rather than film industry personalities.
