In a candid episode of Aap Ki Adalat, Bhojpuri superstar and former BJP MP Dinesh Lal Yadav, better known as ‘Nirahua,’ addressed persistent rumors regarding his relationship with co-star Amrapali Dubey. Having starred alongside her in 35 films, Nirahua shared that the fan-made narrative has often linked him romantically with Dubey. He expressed bemusement over this, emphasizing, “Our fans created this ‘chakkar.’ When we appeared together for public events, they started calling her ‘Bhauji’ (wife), but she’s a co-star and good friend, nothing more.”
Taking a playful tone, Nirahua addressed Rajat Sharma’s question about his relationship with Amrapali. “Let there be a law that a man with kids can remarry,” he joked, “and I’d be ready!” The comment, met with laughter, seemed to highlight the star’s humorous approach to deflecting the rumors that have surrounded him and Dubey for years.
Nirahua opened up about his teenage crush on Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. From skipping school to watch her movies to decorating his room with her posters, he reminisced about his youthful enthusiasm, even recalling how his father would scold him whenever incense smoke drifted towards the posters during family prayers. “Those were good times,” he said, smiling at the memory.
Discussing the challenges Bhojpuri cinema faces, Nirahua condemned the Mumbai film industry’s portrayal of Bhojpuri movies as “vulgar.” He argued that this perception is misguided and defended the genre’s portrayal of love and relationships, likening its bold lyrics to Bollywood’s own stylized representations. “If the audience likes a song, that’s their choice,” he said, underscoring the freedom of creative expression.
Ending on a light-hearted note, Nirahua praised fellow actors like Pawan Singh and Ravi Kishen, sharing funny stories of their pranks. “Pawan Singh once tried to convince a helicopter pilot to let him fly,” he chuckled, calling him the “power star.” Nirahua also gave Ravi Kishen credit as the group’s philosophical guide, saying, “He’s our guru, always dropping pearls of wisdom.”
