Kajal Raghwani, a Bhojpuri actress with 5.7 million Instagram followers, has made headlines after taking digs at stars Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua) and Amrapali Dubey. In an Instagram video, she said Nirahua showed his 'aukaat' by reportedly threatening her, and claimed she had asked Amrapali whether she was why Nirahua does not work with her. Kajal later posted a note thanking fans and rejecting the label of an 'outsider' from Gujarat, saying she has worked in the industry for 16 years and considers it her own.

Kajal, born in 1990 in Teghra, Begusarai, Bihar, started her Bhojpuri film career in 2011 with 'Sugna' after a Gujarati debut in 2009. Her last release, 'Mere Husband Ki Shadi Hai', featured both Nirahua and Amrapali.
The 'outsider vs insider' narrative that Kajal herself raises is the real cliché here. For 16 years she has worked in Bhojpuri cinema, yet the industry still forces artistes to prove loyalty by birthplace. The 'aukaat' spat is petty, but it exposes a deeper insecurity: regional film industries that crave national recognition but gatekeep internally. Watch if her next release gets a solo trailer or if it is quietly shelved.
