Bhojpuri actor Aamrapali Dubey got candid about her wish to become a mother, revealing that she’d like to adopt a daughter even before she gets married. She shared this heartfelt thought while talking with her longtime friend and frequent co-star Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua) on a recent episode of Bhojpuri Bawaal.
Aamrapali Dubey says the desire has stayed with her since childhood
During their chat, Aamrapali confided that this isn’t a passing thought but something she’s carried for a long time, telling Nirahua, “I have thought about it a lot and have decided that I want to adopt a daughter.” Taken aback by the confession, Nirahua asked what prompted her decision. Amrapali replied that the feeling went all the way back to her childhood: “This isn’t something I thought of overnight. I’ve wanted this for a very long time. Ever since I was young, whenever I saw children, I wanted to pick them up and shower them with love. Whenever I see my cousins’ children or spend time around them, I instinctively feel like taking care of them. I can change diapers. I can do everything.”
Aamrapali Dubey calls the feeling instinctive, not fleeting
The actress revealed that she had first brushed these emotions off as temporary, only to later recognise them as something far more instinctive. “At first, I thought these were just feelings. But as time passed, I realised they weren’t just feelings—they were instinctive. Then I realised this is what I truly want. The love and affection I have inside me deserves to be shared with a child.” She further noted that while she can compromise on almost everything else in her life, this is one thing she won’t budge on. “Everything else in my life is negotiable, but this isn’t. This is something I definitely want. I want motherhood in my life. I want a child. I’m completely ready.”
Nirahua cautions Aamrapali Dubey about balancing career and motherhood
Nirahua gently pointed out that managing motherhood alongside her booming career wouldn’t be an easy task. “Think about it carefully. It won’t be that easy. We also have children, but we’re able to focus on work because their mother is at home taking care of them. Right now, you’re the number one heroine in Bhojpuri cinema and at the peak of your career. You’re constantly working. Have you thought about how you’ll manage both?” Amrapali responded that she had already given the matter serious thought and was prepared to scale back her work accordingly. “Once a child comes into my life, there will be school and many other responsibilities. I’ve already thought about it. I’ll do selective work because I’ll have to devote more time to my child. I’ll also expect support from my family. Obviously, raising a child alone isn’t easy for one person.”
Aamrapali Dubey admits she hasn’t told her family yet
Asked by Nirahua whether she had discussed this with her family, Aamrapali conceded she hadn’t yet found the courage. “Not yet. That’s what scares me the most—telling them.” Nirahua stepped in with reassurance, offering his support and telling her that her apprehension was probably misplaced. “I think your fear is unnecessary. I believe your family will be happy.” Amrapali, though, noted a complication. “They’ll be happy, but they have only one thing on their mind—marriage.” Nirahua responded with a laugh: “Then why don’t you get married? Your family tells me that good proposals come for you, but you reject them all. They even call me and ask me to convince you.”
Aamrapali Dubey says child comes before marriage
Aamrapali also made it clear that an arranged marriage holds no appeal for her, and that having a child ranks above getting married on her list of priorities. “My first priority is a child. Marriage can happen later. I want a child—that’s sorted. This is final.” She added that while the conventional order is to marry first and plan a family afterwards, her own priorities run in the opposite direction.
Aamrapali Dubey and Nirahua’s on-screen legacy
Dubey debuted in Bhojpuri films alongside Nirahua in ‘Nirahua Hindustani’ (2014), and the duo has gone on to deliver multiple hits together, including ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Border’, ‘Nirahua Hindustani 2’ and ‘Lallu Ki Laila’. Their strong on-screen chemistry has repeatedly sparked rumours about a real-life relationship, though both have consistently clarified that they share nothing more than a close friendship.
