There's a major development concerning Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh. The Bhojpuri star has been expelled from the Bharatiya Janata Party. Pawan Singh had been contesting elections as an independent candidate from Karakat parliamentary constituency; Upendra Kushwaha, the NDA candidate, is also in the fray. Allegations of engaging in anti-party activities have landed the Bhojpuri actor in hot water, leading BJP to show him the door.
Setting out on a journey from actor to politician, Pawan Singh has found himself ensnared in controversies. This is not the first occasion his name has been tangled in dispute. Pawan Singh is one such Bhojpuri cinema artist who frequently finds himself the subject of controversies.
Wife took her own life three months into the marriage
The personal life of Pawan Singh made headlines when in 2014, he married Neelam Singh. The Bhojpuri star spent lavishly on his wedding. The celebratory atmosphere soon turned somber when, three months into the marriage, his wife committed suicide. Reports suggest that even after their wedding, Pawan Singh was continually busy with work and did not spend much time with his wife, which allegedly led to her taking her own life. However, Pawan Singh claimed that the loss of his wife Neelam was the greatest tragedy of his life, one that he could never forget. Speculations continue to swirl around Pawan Singh's first marriage to this day.
The affair and breakup with Akshara Singh
Like Pawan Singh, Akshara Singh is a big name in the Bhojpuri industry. There was a time when both were frequently seen together in numerous films and music videos. As they worked together, their relationship deepened. Akshara once revealed in an interview that she considered Pawan Singh as a godlike figure, her love for him was so strong that she would secretly meet him, managing all his affairs. There were even instances where Pawan Singh asked Akshara to touch his feet in public. Akshara was devastated when Pawan Singh, without telling her, secretly married Jyoti Singh. The betrayal took a toll on Akshara, and it took her years to recover. Even today, both stars do not cross paths or communicate with each other.
Second wife levies serious allegations
After the demise of his first wife, Pawan Singh married Jyoti Singh in 2018. Five years into their marriage, reports of discord surfaced, eventually reaching the courts. Jyoti Singh accused Pawan Singh and his mother of domestic violence, and alleged he was demanding dowry from her family. Pawan Singh refuted these claims. Following a year of court proceedings, in 2024, the couple reconciled and decided against divorce. In a few months, they managed to resolve their differences and started a new life together.
Picking a fight with Khesari Lal Yadav
The feud between Pawan Singh and Khesari Lal Yadav also made headlines. The dispute ignited when a girl from Nepal got Khesari's name tattooed on her wrist. When asked if she knew Pawan Singh, she denied. Pawan Singh's fans lashed out at the girl, while Khesari advised his fans not to speak ill of her. Pawan Singh retaliated during a stage show without mentioning names, ridiculing Khesari and stating how some artists perform at any event for a meager sum. Eventually, last year, they buried the hatchet, with Ravi Kishan playing mediator at an event, urging them to let bygones be bygones and make a fresh start.
Chaos in events is commonplace
These are some well-known controversies associated with Pawan Singh. Moreover, disruption, chaos, and foul-Language at his events have become all too common. Pawan Singh has even been accused of orchestrating these incidents to garner publicity. Only he can shed light on the truth of these matters.
