Singer-politician Maithili Thakur, who won Bihar Assembly polls recently, was once mocked as "stupid Bihari", she revealed in an old interview. "I had phobia of girls my age...I feared their comments. They would simply say, 'stupid Bihari'," she said. Her mother Bharti revealed in an interview that they changed 17 houses as neighbours complained about her husband & children's Riyaaz.
