Pawan Singh, a Bhojpuri cinema powerhouse, celebrates his birthday on January 5, surrounded by a tide of industry accolades. Renowned for his vibrant songs and films, Singh's name is also synonymous with a string of controversies that seem inescapable; from marital discord and rivalries with Khesari Lal Yadav to a notorious affair with Akshara Singh, controversy clings to him like a shadow.
Not just his professional life, but Pawan's personal life has been a magnet for attention. His first wife, Neelam Singh, tragically ended her life three months post-marriage, with reports attributing her distress to Pawan's hectic schedule. Neelam’s sister claimed that his constant work engagements deprived Neelam of his attention.
Subsequently, Pawan's association with the sensational singer Akshara Singh grabbed media headlines. In a sensational interview, Akshara revealed instances of alleged mistreatment. Scandalously, Pawan wanted her to sign a contract preventing claims to his property post-marriage, forcing her into involuntary apologies to soothe his ego.
At one time, Akshara revered Pawan akin to a deity, secretly meeting him despite family protests. Yet, Pawan's clandestine marriage to Jyoti Singh dealt her a crushing blow, a betrayal from which it took her years to recover.
In 2018, Pawan married Jyoti Singh from Ballia. Initially harmonious, the union hit rocky terrain when Jyoti filed for divorce five years later, citing domestic violence and, shockingly, forced abortion. Despite this, the case was withdrawn as she supported Pawan’s political endeavors.
Pawan Singh’s verbal skirmishes with Khesari Lal Yadav are legendary within industry circles. A silent rivalry simmers, marked by public jibes, where each claims superiority while masquerading as allies. Pawan dismisses Khesari’s competitive stance, desiring neither friendship nor enmity.
Pawan's notorious stage frenzy, allegedly fuelled by intoxication, remains a staple of infamy alongside unruly event disturbances. Accusations of orchestrating such chaos for publicity linger persistently.
Music controversies shadow Pawan too, with hits like 'Lollipop Lagelu' sparking obscenity debates, allied by 'Sania Mirza's scandal. Bold tracks catalyze the storm, yet Pawan remains unyieldingly silent, trusting his work to speak volumes.
Despite such drama, Pawan Singh's popularity resonates widely. His collaborative ventures with Bollywood deliver acclaimed compositions, with 'Stree 2's 'Kaati Raat' captivating fans.
