In the glittering world of Bhojpuri cinema, where stars often double as political heavyweights, a casual conversation has ignited a fresh round of banter. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, known for his foot-tapping hits and fiery parliamentary speeches, recently hinted at bringing Bhojpuri sensation Khesari Lal Yadav on board as his personal driver. The remark, dropped during a light-hearted chat, quickly caught the attention of rival superstar Pawan Singh, aka Nirahua, who couldn’t resist taking a sharp, witty dig.
The episode unfolded at a recent Bhojpuri industry event in Mumbai, where Tiwari was promoting his latest track. Amid discussions on collaborations and career moves, Tiwari quipped, ‘Khesari bhai ko driver bana loon, gaadi teekh se chalayega aur gaana bhi suna dega.’ The audience erupted in laughter, but the comment soon made waves on social media, with fans dissecting every word.
Enter Nirahua, the undisputed king of Bhojpuri box office, who seized the moment during an interview with a local channel. ‘Manuj bhai driver nahi, hum toh unko pilot bana denge. Plane udayenge aur blockbuster hits bhi drop karenge,’ he retorted playfully, turning the tables with his signature humor. This exchange highlights the friendly yet competitive camaraderie between these two icons, both of whom have transcended regional cinema to influence national politics.
Tiwari, a former Delhi mayor and current North East Delhi MP, has long leveraged his Bhojpuri roots for political gains. His songs like ‘Rinkiya Ke Papa’ have become anthems in Bihar and UP. Khesari, with his raw energy and chart-toppers, remains a fan favorite, often pitted against Nirahua in supremacy battles. Nirahua’s riposte wasn’t just banter; it subtly underscored his own stature, boasting over 50 hit films and a massive YouTube following.
Industry insiders see this as more than jest. With upcoming elections looming, such public spats keep these stars relevant, blending entertainment with electoral buzz. Fans are loving the drama, flooding timelines with memes and polls on who would make the better ‘driver’ or ‘pilot.’ As Bhojpuri music gears up for its next big clash, this verbal volley reminds us why these artistes rule hearts – on screen and off.
Whether Tiwari actually hires Khesari or not, one thing’s clear: in this high-octane world, every word drives the narrative forward. Stay tuned for more updates from the Bhojpuri battleground.
