Bhojpuri Star Pawan Singh Faces Double Controversy: Wife Jyoti Singh’s Explosive Post After Video Backlash
Pawan Singh in Trouble Again
Bhojpuri actor and BJP politician Pawan Singh has once again landed in controversy. Just days after a viral video showed him allegedly touching co-star Anjali Raghav without consent, his second wife Jyoti Singh has posted a shocking statement on Instagram, accusing him of neglect and threatening self-immolation.
Jyoti Singh’s Explosive Instagram Post
Sharing a wedding photo of Pawan applying vermillion on her forehead, Jyoti wrote a long caption in Hindi, expressing her pain. She alleged that:
- Pawan has ignored her calls and messages for months.
- Even during Chhath Puja in Lucknow, he refused to meet her.
- She accused him of giving her false hopes during the Lok Sabha elections.
- She threatened self-immolation, saying she has been left with no choice but cannot act on it due to fear of dishonouring her parents.
In her emotional note, Jyoti wrote:
“I have always done my duty as a wife. Now it is your turn. If there is even an iota of humanity left in you, come and stand beside me. I have begun to hate my life. Come and talk to me, respond to my calls and messages, and try to understand my pain for once.”
Jyoti Singh married Pawan in 2018. His first wife, Neelam Singh, tragically passed away in 2015, less than a year after their marriage.
Pawan Singh’s Cryptic Response
While Pawan has not directly addressed Jyoti’s accusations, he shared a cryptic Instagram note, saying that only the person experiencing pain can truly understand it.
The Viral Video with Anjali Raghav
Earlier this week, Pawan Singh was at the center of another controversy after a video surfaced of him touching actor Anjali Raghav’s waist during an event.
The clip sparked outrage online, with many accusing him of misconduct. In response, Anjali released a video statement, criticizing Pawan’s behavior:
“He touched me without my consent. I was shocked. I will not work in the Bhojpuri industry anymore.”
The incident has intensified criticism against Pawan, both as an actor and politician.
Pawan Singh: From Star to Politician
Known as the “Power Star” of Bhojpuri cinema, Pawan Singh gained fame with films like Pratigya, Satya, and Har Har Gange, as well as hit songs like the 2008 chartbuster Tu Lagawelu Jab Lipstick.
He joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014, inducted by party general secretary Arun Singh, and has since balanced a career in both entertainment and politics.
Final Perspective
The twin controversies surrounding Pawan Singh—one involving public allegations of harassment by co-star Anjali Raghav and the other a personal crisis with his wife Jyoti Singh—have cast a shadow over both his film career and political image.
While Jyoti’s emotional outburst underscores the personal turmoil in his marriage, the viral video controversy has sparked larger conversations about consent and professionalism in the Bhojpuri industry.
As criticism grows, Pawan Singh faces a crucial moment. His silence or cryptic responses may no longer suffice—both the public and his family are demanding accountability.
How he responds in the coming days will determine whether he can repair his public image or face a deeper fall from grace.
