The rumours began when Rajesh’s wife, actress Vandana Sajnani, in an interview, stated that the couple had exhausted their savings in the past two years owing to her frequent hospitalisation and the lockdown situation. Clarifying the same, Rajesh said he did suffer a financial setback owing to the pandemic just like everyone else but his wife's statement was blown out of proportion and soon the situation went out of hands. What upset him more was when his son and actor Ishaan Khattar and his brother Shahid Kapoor's names were dragged into it. He said "That was in bad taste. They dragged them into it. We actors are accustomed to the occupational hazards of such baseless rumours circulating, but this was a bit much. God forbid, if I ever reach that stage, I have my family to support me. Everyone is going through a difficult time and being sensitive is the need of the hour.”

Rajesh also posted on social media (Instagram) writing,  "While the entire nation is uniting to tide over this unprecedented situation of pandemic & extending a helping hand to each other do we really have to peddle misery to sell stories? It's obvious that positive stories don't make good copies(the fact that I came out of hospitalisation & am still recuperating from a grave case of covid is no news)."
