Anjali Raghav Quits Bhojpuri Industry After Condemning Pawan Singh Over Viral Stage Video

Her move intensifies calls for accountability as she rejects his on‑stage claim that he was removing something from her waist.

Overview

  • Raghav said in Instagram videos that Singh touched her waist without consent during a Lucknow promotion for their song Saiya Seva Kare.
  • She added that a team member later confirmed nothing was stuck to her outfit, and she felt unable to object on stage given the crowd’s strong support for Singh.
  • Raghav said event organisers and Singh’s team did not respond to her outreach and that she was advised his PR could spin the narrative, prompting her to speak out and exit the Bhojpuri industry.
  • Singh has not issued a detailed apology or explanation beyond what is heard in the video, as online criticism and calls for industry action continue.
  • Separately, Singh’s wife Jyoti posted that he has been neglecting her and threatened self‑harm, adding a personal crisis to the public fallout.
