Amrapali Dubey, a Bhojpuri actress, has responded to the issue surrounding Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was observed last week at an official event in Patna removing a woman doctor`s hijab. Social media users were outraged by the occurrence, and the CM`s actions were criticised by a number of celebrities and social pundits.
Amrapali emphasised the value of individual choice and dignity in a speech to reporters in Patna on Wednesday, December 24. "Main hamesha ye believe karti hu ke aapka attire aapka personal choice hota hai," she remarked. Kuch jagah ki bhi garimaaye hoti hai (I have always thought that clothing is a matter of personal preference). Certain locations are connected with dignity.
