At a recent press conference in Mumbai, Rajat Dalal, known for his confrontational and short-tempered personality, directly addressed the legal allegations against him.

Rajat also acknowledged his anger issues, admitting that his intense reactions have sometimes hurt those close to him.
“Yes, I have anger issues. I’m a powerlifter, and sometimes my reactions are intense. But I’m working on myself. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be better,” he added.
