Inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, during an emotional exchange with Love Gill, Amrapali Dubey firmly stated that her relationship with Nirahua is purely professional, emphasising their strong co-star bond. “People think we are dating,” Amrapali confided to Love Gill, acknowledging the widespread speculation. She further revealed that Nirahua himself has often encouraged her to find a life partner. “He has been convincing her to marry someone,” one report stated, capturing her revelation.
Amrapali shared, “Even today, our friendship is such that I don’t need to tell him anything. I just look at him, and he undestands and starts laughing. Friendships should be unfiltered. People think he and I are dating and that poor guy has gone crazy convincing me to marry someone. How do I explain to him? Men think its very easy to get married. They don’t undersand our side. “

Amrapali Dubey and Nirahua in the Bhojpuri Industry
Amrapali Dubey and Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’ are arguably one of Bhojpuri cinema’s most iconic and successful on-screen pairs. Their cinematic journey began with the blockbuster film Nirahua Hindustani in 2014, a movie that catapulted them to stardom and established their formidable chemistry. Amrapali herself credited Bigg Boss 6 (where Nirahua was a contestant) for inadvertently playing a role in their collaboration, calling it “God’s screenplay” and even her “casting agency” for Nirahua Hindustani. Nirahua was a contestant on Bigg Boss 6 in 2012. The film Nirahua Hindustani proved to be a massive commercial success, running for 50 days in approximately 98% of the theatres it was released in.
Their partnership has since blossomed, with the duo starring in over 25 films, a majority of which have been box office hits. Their remarkable on-screen rapport is often attributed to their strong off-screen friendship, a bond that has unfortunately also given rise to constant public speculation about their personal lives. Despite the ongoing rumours, both actors have consistently maintained that their relationship is strictly professional, built on mutual respect and shared success in the Bhojpuri film industry.
