Nirahua: Bhojpuri star Dinesh Lal Yadav aka Nirahua confesses he never loved his wife Mansha Devi in 26 years of ‘forced’ marriage | Bhojpuri Movie News – The Times of India

Bhojpuri superstar Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, has once again grabbed headlines — this time for his candid remarks about his personal life. The actor, who has been married to Mansha Devi since 2000 and is a father to two sons, opened up about his marriage and his views on love during a recent interaction, sparking conversations across social media and entertainment circles.In an interview with Digital Commentary, Nirahua reflected on his early marriage and admitted that he still carries regret. He also revealed that he has advised his sons to choose their life partners independently.He said, “I told my sons that you should get married by your own choice. My parents forced me into marriage. I kept saying, please let me do something first. Let me become something. I do regret that. Your life partner should be someone you love. That did not happen in my case.”The actor acknowledged that while he has fulfilled his responsibilities, emotionally, he feels something was missing.

‘I have told my wife I never loved her’

Nirahua went a step further and shared that he has been honest about his feelings with both his children and his wife.He said, “I told my children that I was never able to love their mother. I have also told my wife that I never loved her. Yes, it is my duty that since my parents got us married, I am fulfilling that responsibility. I do feel guilty about it. That is why I will not do the same with my children. I will never tell them that they have to do things a certain way. I will not force them.”He explained that although he continues to stand by his marriage out of responsibility towards his parents’ decision, he feels guilty about the lack of emotional connection. That guilt, he said, is precisely why he refuses to impose similar decisions on his children.

‘I will not impose anything on them’

Speaking about his family, Nirahua shared that his elder son is pursuing direction, while his younger son wants to become an actor. He made it clear that just as in matters of marriage, he does not believe in forcing career choices either.He said, “I first asked my children which field they wanted to go into, because I will not impose anything on them. My elder son said he wanted to pursue direction, so he went into direction. My younger one said he wanted to become an actor, so he entered this field. I told them to take proper training. I know that if you do something you truly like, you will do it well.” By allowing his sons to follow their own paths — both in love and career — the Bhojpuri star says he wants to ensure they have the freedom he feels he did not have in his own life.
