Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav made headlines in Patna by declaring BJP MP Manoj Tiwari as his ultimate inspiration, firmly stating no political party membership is needed to honor that. ‘Manoj Bhaiya remains my elder brother eternally. I don’t have to join a party to demonstrate it,’ he shared in a recent interview.
Describing Tiwari as his guiding light, Khesari noted, ‘True admiration doesn’t require political affiliation. I’ll be there for him like a devoted younger sibling, no matter what.’ This personal endorsement arrives as Khesari navigates rumors of a political comeback.
Dismissing such notions outright, he reflected on his career choice. ‘I’m an artist at heart, thriving in entertainment. Politics thrives on deception, and I refuse to compromise my honesty. My one-time election run taught me that truth has no place there. Today, I’m fulfilled with singing and acting – that’s my world, and I’m staying put.’
Shifting gears to cinema, Khesari’s ‘Agnipariksha’ is poised to captivate audiences. Under Lal Babu Pandit’s direction and Surinder Yadav’s production, the film stars Khesari with Akanksha and Neelam, supported by Sushil Singh, Prakash Jais, Sonu Pandey, Ritu Chauhan, Vinod Mishra, Sonia Mishra, Mahesh Acharya, Priyanka Sony, and Deepak Sinha. The trailer’s release has amplified anticipation, with release details forthcoming.
Through this candid discourse, Khesari reaffirms his dedication to art, letting his admiration for Tiwari shine independently of any political shadow.
