‘I Wasn’t Lost, Nirahua Was…’: Bhojpuri Director Manjul Thakur’s Amrapali Dubey Remark Sparks Buzz

Bhojpuri superstar Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, has been one of the industry's biggest names for years. Along with his films and songs, his on-screen chemistry and friendship with actress Amrapali Dubey have frequently attracted public attention. The two have worked together in numerous successful films and remain one of Bhojpuri cinema's most popular screen pairs.

Over the years, their close bond has also generated speculation about their personal relationship. Both actors have addressed such rumours on multiple occasions. Now, their names have once again entered the spotlight following a remark made by Bhojpuri filmmaker Manjul Thakur.

The comment came during an episode connected with the show Bhojpuri Baawaal, featuring actresses Rani Chatterjee and Kajal Raghwani. A video from the show has surfaced in which an old controversy involving Nirahua is discussed before director Manjul Thakur makes an unexpected appearance.

What Did Nirahua Say About Director Manjul Thakur?

The video begins with a clip featuring Nirahua speaking to Amrapali Dubey over the phone.

During the conversation, Nirahua refers to the film Mere Husband Ki Shaadi and makes a remark about its director. He suggests that Amrapali had brought the director into the project and that the filmmaker later "disappeared."

The conversation then takes an unexpected turn when the director being discussed—Manjul Thakur—appears on the show himself.

He is questioned about the old allegation and given an opportunity to respond to Nirahua's comment.

Manjul Thakur Responds to Nirahua

When asked about the suggestion that he had become distracted because of Kajal Raghwani, Manjul Thakur rejected the claim.

He responded by turning the allegation back towards Nirahua.

According to Manjul, what Nirahua had said about him was incorrect. He remarked that Nirahua should first "look at himself in the mirror" before making such claims.

Manjul then made the comment that immediately attracted attention.

He said, "I wasn't lost, he was. Everyone knows who he was lost to. He was lost to Amrapali."

The remark appeared to be a playful but pointed response to Nirahua's earlier statement and once again brought the much-discussed Nirahua-Amrapali equation into focus.

Importantly, Manjul's comment should not be treated as confirmation of any romantic relationship between the two actors. Nirahua and Amrapali have previously spoken publicly about speculation surrounding their bond.

Nirahua and Amrapali Dubey's Pair Is Hugely Popular

Nirahua and Amrapali Dubey have been one of the most recognisable pairs in Bhojpuri cinema.

Their chemistry has been appreciated by audiences across several films, and their frequent appearances together have helped establish them as a fan-favourite screen couple.

The two stars have appeared together in films including Nirahua Hindustani, Nirahua Chalal London and Patna Se Pakistan, among several other projects.

Their professional partnership and off-screen friendship have consequently remained a frequent topic of discussion among fans.

Relationship Rumours Have Followed the Pair for Years

Because Nirahua and Amrapali have worked together extensively and share a visible friendship, rumours surrounding their relationship have repeatedly surfaced.

However, speculation and social-media discussions should not be confused with confirmed information about their personal lives.

Both stars have addressed questions about their equation at different points, but public curiosity around the pair has continued.

Manjul Thakur's latest comment has now added another entertaining twist to that long-running conversation.

Will Nirahua Respond to Manjul Thakur?

It remains to be seen whether Nirahua will react to the director's remark.

The exchange has certainly created fresh buzz around Bhojpuri Baawaal, especially because it combines an old disagreement with one of Bhojpuri cinema's most talked-about on-screen pairings.

For fans, Manjul Thakur's statement may be an entertaining revelation from behind the scenes, but it does not establish the long-running relationship rumours as fact.

Now, attention will be on Nirahua to see whether the Bhojpuri superstar chooses to respond to the director's cheeky "lost in Amrapali" comment or simply lets it pass.
