Rajpal Yadav showed visible frustration towards a journalist who questioned him about his recent apology concerning Diwali celebrations. When asked about his clarification, in which he apologized for advising fans against bursting firecrackers on Diwali, Rajpal reportedly snatched the journalist’s camera.
