Bhojpuri Actor Anjali Raghav Forgives Pawan Singh After Inappropriate Touch

Bhojpuri actor Anjali Raghav has accepted singer-actor Pawan Singh’s apology for inappropriately touching her during a recent event in Lucknow.

“Pawan Singh ji ne apni galti ki manfi mangli hai. Wo mujhse bade hai aur senior artist hai… maine unhe maaf kar diya hai. Mai is baat ko aur aage nahi badhana chahti. Jai Shree Ram,” Anjali wrote, reposting Pawan’s message. (Translation: “Pawan Singh admitted his mistake and apologised. He is senior to me. I have forgiven him and do not wish to take this matter further.”)

Pawan Singh apologised late Saturday, saying, “Due to a busy schedule, Anjali ji, I couldn’t watch your live. When I came to know about this matter, I felt bad. I had no wrong intention towards you because we are all artists. Even then, if you felt hurt by any of my actions or behaviour, I sincerely apologise.”

The incident occurred during a Lucknow event where a video captured Pawan placing his hand on Anjali’s waist while she addressed the audience. Initially, Anjali smiled, but she appeared visibly uncomfortable when the gesture was repeated. Pawan eventually removed his hand after she refused to move hers, sparking criticism online.

Earlier, Anjali had addressed the incident in Instagram videos, explaining the distress it caused her and responding to online criticism, saying, “Do you really think I would be happy or enjoy being touched in public like that?”

Pawan Singh is a popular Bhojpuri singer and actor, known for hits like Lolipop Lagelu and recent Bollywood songs for Stree 2 and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
