MUMBAI: Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh is getting a lot of hate on social media after a video came out showing him improperly grabbing his co-star Anjali Raghav on stage during a promotional event for their new song, Saiya Seva Kare.
Pawan and Anjali are standing next to each other in the video, which has gone popular on X (previously Twitter). Anjali is talking to the audience. Pawan keeps stroking her waist while she talks. At first, Anjali grins and attempts to keep talking to the crowd, but when he keeps bothering her, she starts to look uncomfortable. Even if she tries to stop him in small ways, he keeps going till he finally takes his hand away.
Enough is Enough

Social media users have widely condemned the video, calling his behavior “sickening” and “disgusting.” One person said, “It’s disgusting to touch a woman inappropriately.” He doesn’t even give in. Sicko! Someone else said, “Pawan Singh keeps crossing the line,” referring to his past of bad behavior. Do you remember when actress Akshara Singh made serious accusations against him? He does things in a certain way. A lot of people have also said that the event was “despicable” because it happened in front of a live audience.
Pawan Singh has been in public trouble before. A few years back, actress Akshara Singh accused him of posting “vulgar” photographs and videos of her online and defaming her. She is said to have filed a FIR against him, saying he was blackmailing her and threatening to hurt her career. The DNA article says that the abuse started after Akshara stopped being friends with him when he got married in March 2018. She said he had threatened to “not let her work in the industry” and perhaps murder her.
People in the Bhojpuri film industry know Pawan Singh well. He has hit songs like “Lagavelu Lipstick” and has been in movies like “Pratigya,” “Satya,” and “Crack Fighter.” He also sang the song Aayi Nai for the Hindi movie Stree 2 not too long ago.
