Overview

• Pawan Singh posted an Instagram note saying he had no bad intention and apologised if his behaviour caused discomfort, and Anjali Raghav publicly said she forgave him and would not take the matter further.
• The incident occurred at a Lucknow promotion for their song Saiya Seva Kare, where video showed Singh placing his hand on Raghav’s waist as she appeared uncomfortable.
• Raghav later said a team member confirmed nothing was stuck on her outfit, described feeling distressed, and announced she would no longer work in the Bhojpuri industry.
• She explained she did not confront him on stage because the crowd was his strong fan base in his city and said outreach to organisers and his team went unanswered.
• Online criticism of Singh’s conduct continued, and his second wife Jyoti Singh separately alleged neglect in an Instagram post that referenced self-harm, which has not been addressed in further reporting.
