Mujhe jis tarah se pure desh, world aur Bollywood ne pyaar diya, agar mujhpe koi aarop hai, toh main 100 percent present hu. Thank you Supreme Court, aapne mujhe sunne ka mauka diya (This started in 2012; today is 2026. In the last 10 years, I have appeared wherever the Supreme Court has given orders and will appear wherever orders have been given in the future. The whole country, the world and Bollywood loved me to respond if I face any allegations. I am ready, thank you Supreme Court for giving me the opportunity to be heard.” The Delhi High Court on Monday ordered an interim stay of the sentence till March 18.

While passing the order, the bench of Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma directed Yadav to furnish a personal guarantee of Rs 1 lakh along with a surety of the same amount. While assessing the compensation, the court noted that 1.5 billion Rupees had been deposited into the defendant’s bank account. It decided to suspend the sentence on the condition that Yadav furnishes a personal guarantee of Rs 1 lakh along with a surety of the same amount.
