Bhojpuri Star Pawan Singh Joins Reality Show, Faces Controversy
10 Sep
Summary
- Pawan Singh debuts on 'Rise and Fall' reality show
- Offers film role to Splitsvilla X5 winner Akriti Negi
- Faces backlash over alleged inappropriate behavior at event
Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh has made a splash with his debut on the high-stakes reality show 'Rise and Fall', hosted by Ashneer Grover. During the premiere episode on September 10, 2025, Singh was seen interacting with Splitsvilla X5 winner Akriti Negi, offering her a film role. Akriti had expressed her desire to act in movies, saying she had not yet gotten the chance.
However, Singh's entry into the show has been overshadowed by a recent controversy. Last month, a video surfaced showing him allegedly touching actress Anjali Raghav inappropriately during a promotional event in Lucknow. The incident led Anjali to condemn his actions and announce that she would step away from the Bhojpuri film industry. Pawan later issued a public apology on Instagram, stating that he had no wrong intention and felt bad that Anjali was hurt by his behavior.
As 'Rise and Fall' progresses, all eyes will be on how Singh navigates the ongoing backlash while interacting with fellow contestants. The show promises 42 days of unpredictable twists, shifting alliances, and power struggles, and Pawan's performance will be closely watched.
