After Anjali Raghav declared she would leave the Bhojpuri film industry, Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh apologised to her for touching her waist on stage without getting her permission. Pawan repeatedly caressed Anjali's waist during a recent event in Lucknow, claiming that something was stuck to it. Despite Anjali's obvious discomfort, Pawan chose to ignore her.
Pawan claimed to have no "wrong intention" toward Anjali and apologised on his Instagram Stories. Pawan wrote his brief message in Hindi, "Anjali ji, vyasth schedule ke kaaran main aapka live dekh nahi paaya. Mujhe jab iss baat ki jaankari huyi, toh mujhe bura laga (Anjali, due to my busy schedule, I couldn't watch your live. When I came to know about the matter, I felt very bad)."
He further added, "Mera aapke prati koi bhi ghalat intention nahi tha kyuki humlog kalakaar hai. Iske bawajood, agar aapko humari kisi bhi byawahaar se taqleef huyi ho toh uske liye main shama prarthi hoon (I had no wrong intention towards you as we are artists. Even then, if you were hurt by my behaviour, then I apologise)."

First Akshara Singh now Anjali, we don't know how many Bhojpuri actresses have faced his non-consent acts but no complaint, no police action nothing. https://t.co/o5jVjLSrDipic.twitter.com/m9BxytUF5q
Her note read, “What grave offence have I committed that I am being punished like this? Today, my parents' names have been disrespected. If I am not deserving of you, then you could have just left me. There was no need to give me false hope during the Lok Sabha elections. Today, you have given me no other choice than to self-immolate, but I cannot even do that because the questions will always be raised against me and my parents.”
Pratigya (2008), Satya (2017), Crack Fighter (2019), Raja (2019), Sher Singh (2019), Mera Bharat Mahaan (2022), and Har Har Gange (2023) are just a few of the movies for which Pawan is well-known. In addition, he performed Aayi Nai and Lagavelu Lipstick from Stree 2.
