Amrapali Dubey and Mahhi Vij clarify a misunderstanding over “bhabhi” jokes made in the Bigg Boss 20 house. NDTV reports that Amrapali talks to Mahhi after the remark raises concerns about how Bhojpuri fans might react. Times of India similarly describes how Amrapali becomes upset about Mahhi’s casual use of the term.
The dispute centers on how the word is interpreted culturally within Bhojpuri traditions. Times of India says Mahhi questions Amrapali’s view by linking it to how Bhojpuri songs and related cultural expressions are used, while Amrapali emphasizes the term’s deeper significance and its connection to regional identity. Times of India also reports that Mahhi understands the word as having respectful roots and says her intention is friendly.
Across the outlets, both actresses are described as working to resolve the issue and avoid offense, with Amrapali underscoring the dignity of Bhojpuri women and both sides seeking to move past the misunderstanding.
