Pawan's Apology
It is noteworthy that Pawan Singh apologized on Instagram's story, stating, "Anjali, I couldn’t watch your live due to a busy schedule, but I was informed about your words. I felt bad. My intentions were never wrong. However, if my behavior hurt you, I sincerely apologize."
Video of Misconduct Goes Viral
The controversy ignited during a promotional event when Pawan Singh was spotted touching Anjali’s lower back, visibly making her uncomfortable. This video went viral, facing criticisms from the audience.
Anjali and Pawan were both subjected to character scrutiny. Anjali couldn't stay silent, releasing a video expressing her anger. She posted two videos on Instagram clarifying that her smile should not be mistaken as 'support' or 'silent approval.'
Anjali's Outrage
She revealed her discomfort at the event but hesitated to react immediately due to the crowd. Anjali stated, "I will no longer work in the Bhojpuri industry. What happened to me was wrong. If this occurred in my hometown Haryana, people would have responded differently." She also demanded an apology.
Pawan Faces Backlash
Pawan Singh faced intense trolling on social media. Tags like 'shame on Pawan Singh' were used, accusing him of appearing on stage under the influence. This trolling significantly impacted Pawan Singh.
Wife's Dire Warning
Amidst the controversy, Pawan Singh's second wife, Jyoti Singh, posted an emotional message on social media, lamenting neglect. She gave a grave warning about 'suicidal thoughts,' stating, "Two months ago, my father approached you, but no positive result came from it. What grave sin have I committed to deserve this?"
"My parents' honor is being tarnished. If I was never worthy of you, why didn't you leave me when you distanced yourself before? Dragging me into your Lok Sabha elections and then abandoning me has pushed me to the brink where only self-immolation seems like a solution. Yet, I hold back because I know my actions will be questioned."
Pawan's Regret
On these allegations, Pawan Singh responded subtly, citing a proverb, "Only the one who suffers knows the pain."
Pawan Singh apologized and Anjali forgave him, closing this controversy. However, it seems the public won't let this matter be forgotten easily!
