Director Priyadarshan has given clarification on his statement in which he had called Rajpal Yadav less educated. The director says that his statement was misinterpreted, he did not want to let the actor down. Priyadarshan gave clarification when Rajpal Yadav clarified on his statement that he is educated.
Priyadarshan recently said in an interview to Hindustan Times, ‘Actually, I did not mean that. See, education is not only obtained from books, but a lot can be learned from the road also. I just meant that (street smartness), because education also means awareness. That’s all I wanted to say.’
He further said, ‘Maybe he comes from a village and the village people are very innocent, they do not understand, you should know how to differentiate between right and wrong people. That is education in the broadest sense.
In the conversation, Priyadarshan also said that his intention was not to humiliate Rajpal in any way. He said, ‘I didn’t mean anything like that. I didn’t want to offend them. I said this because I have never seen such an innocent person like Rajpal in my life, in the broad sense this innocence comes only from lack of education.

What was Priyadarshan’s statement?
Some time ago, Rajpal Yadav had to go to jail in a check bounce case. At the same time, Priyadarshan had said in an interview given to Mid Day, ‘I know about Rajpal, that’s why I used to cast him in every movie of mine. I even told him to do ad films also. This poor man made a mistake because he was less educated. Otherwise he is a good person.
Rajpal Yadav had replied- I am educated
After this statement of Priyadarshan came out, Rajpal Yadav had said in an interview given to Indian Express, Priyan ji (Priyadarshan) does not know me. I am educated. I worked from the age of 11 to the age of 55. Even big giants get into trouble. Had I been less educated, I would not have been able to survive in the industry for 25-30 years.
Priyadarshan increased Rajpal Yadav’s fees
Let us tell you that to help Rajpal Yadav, who was stuck in the check bounce case, Priyadarshan had increased the fees in his Bhoot Bungalow, so that he could get financial help.
