Yadav told the story and said that this particular TV show was on DD1 when he was just starting out as an actor in Mumbai, two years before he made his film debut. People from his town came to see him perform because the show was on the only channel they could get at the time. In one scene, Yadav's character, Naurangilal, was thinking about the famous last scene of 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,' where Shah Rukh Khan's character gets beat up. In his dream, Yadav's character's boss, Mr. Sethi, hit him over and over again. Rajpal's mother was scared when she saw how her son was being treated, so she left the room.
Rajpal Yadav said that his parents didn't know anything about how films are made or how they are made. He had to tell his mother that these were trained actors and that the slaps were part of the planned scenes, which were just for fun. He also told them that adding funny scenes, like getting hit, was a common way to make pictures popular and fun to watch. Rajpal said that despite his attempts, his parents still didn't fully understand what he did for a living and didn't know everything about it.
'Mungeri Ke Bhai Naurangilal' was a follow-up to 'Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne,' a popular Doordarshan TV show in which Raghubir Yadav played the main part. Both shows were directed by Prakash Jha and showed how early Yadav worked with the well-known director.
