Bhojpuri actor and singer Pawan Singh is facing widespread criticism on social media after a video from a recent stage performance went viral, showing him allegedly making inappropriate physical contact with co-star Anjali Raghav during a live event.
The clip, which surfaced online this week, shows Singh placing his hand around Raghav in a manner that many users described as “uncomfortable” and “unprofessional.” The actor’s conduct has triggered sharp backlash, with several netizens calling it “distasteful” and demanding accountability. Many also expressed disappointment given Singh’s popularity in the Bhojpuri film industry and his role as a public figure.
Raghav, who was seen performing alongside Singh in the video, has not issued a public statement on the incident at the time of writing. However, online users have urged the Bhojpuri film industry to take stronger measures to ensure safer spaces for female performers, both on and off stage.
Pawan Singh, often referred to as one of the leading names in Bhojpuri cinema, is known for films such as Satya, Sher Singh, and several chart-topping songs. While he has a large fan following, controversies around his public appearances and behavior have drawn criticism in the past.
The incident has once again sparked a larger conversation about the treatment of women in regional entertainment industries, with many voices on social media calling for professionalism and respect in public performances.
