Amrapali Dubey, a prominent figure in the Bhojpuri film industry, has starred in numerous films over her 11-year career. She has shared the screen with many other Bhojpuri actresses and maintains good relationships with them. In an interview, she was asked about the common occurrence of rivalries among actresses and if she considers any actress a competitor. During an interview with the BaatKuchen YouTube channel, Dubey discussed her journey in Bhojpuri cinema, her relationships with fellow actors and actresses, and responded to the question of which actress could potentially outperform her. In response to the question, Dubey frankly stated, “I think any script can compete. If the script is good, any actress can deliver a best performance and surpass me. The script is the most crucial element in every film, and that is my biggest competition. If someone else gets a great script and I don’t, then I can be surpassed through a good script.” Afterwards, she was asked where she gains the acceptance that a new actress could potentially surpass her, and if she is okay with this possibility. Dubey responded, “Because that is the truth of the world. Rajesh Khanna once said on stage that ‘this too is a phase, and that too was a phase.’ Today, I am doing well. Tomorrow, someone else will do well. Nothing is permanent. If I am working well and putting in effort, then someone else is also working hard. If they move ahead of me, then I should not feel bad, and I have learned this understanding from reading the Gita.” When asked if she feels jealous of any other Bhojpuri actress, Dubey replied, “No, I don’t have any such feelings. I have good relationships with Rani Ji, Pakhi Ji, Rinku Ji, Anjana Ji, Akshara Ji, and Kajal Ji, and I talk to them all. We can’t achieve anything by harboring feelings of jealousy, and they are also doing their work. I am also doing my work. We are all from the same industry, so there should be no jealousy at all.”
