Anjali Raghav broke silence: Bhojpuri film superstar Pawan Singh and Haryanvi actress Anjali Raghav are once again in the headlines. The reason is an old video of theirs, which is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this video, Pawan Singh is seen putting his hand on Anjali’s waist on the stage. There was a lot of controversy on this even at that time, and now, when the video surfaced again, Anjali had to speak openly.
Anjali’s painful statement on Instagram
After the video went viral, Anjali Raghav shared an emotional video on Instagram. She clearly said that she was very hurt by this incident. Many people questioned why she did not immediately slap Pawan Singh or react on the stage itself. Anjali’s answer to this was, “Will I be happy if someone touches me like this in public?”

It was clear from her words that she was very upset at that time, but the circumstances were such that it was not easy for her to say anything immediately.
The whole story from the shoot to the stage
Anjali said that before this controversy, she had shot a song with Pawan Singh, and she did not face any problem during that time. With this confidence, she went to the event organized in Lucknow. But what happened on the stage broke her trust.
According to Anjali, Pawan Singh suddenly said to her, “Something is stuck on your waist.” At first, she thought that it might be the tag of the saree or blouse, and she ignored it jokingly. But Pawan Singh kept repeating the same thing again and again.
Realization of the truth and a burst of tears
Later, when Anjali asked her team and also saw herself, she came to know that nothing was stuck on her dress. Her heart broke as soon as she understood this, and she started crying. She said that at that time, only Pawan Singh’s fans were present on the stage, and she was afraid that if she said something there, no one would support her. After some time, Pawan Singh left the stage, and Anjali was left alone.
Pawan Singh’s silence and advice were received

After returning home, Anjali saw that the matter had escalated on social media. She immediately called Pawan Singh, but he did not receive the call. Anjali was most saddened by the fact that he did not even try once to know whether she was okay or not.
Anjali said that when she talked to people about this, many people advised her that Pawan Singh’s PR team is very powerful and if she raised her voice, the matter could worsen. That is why she decided to remain silent for some time.
“If it were in Haryana, the public would have answered”
Anjali said in her video that she does not consider this kind of behavior to be right at all. She said, “It is wrong to touch any girl without her consent. If all this had happened in Haryana, I would not have needed to say anything. The people there would have answered themselves.”
This statement of hers clearly shows that she was feeling completely alone and helpless on the stage.
Decision to distance herself from the Bhojpuri industry
Anjali Raghav made another big revelation and said that she will no longer work in the Bhojpuri industry. She said that she wanted to explore new opportunities as an artist and also wanted to fulfill her dream of working with a big star like Pawan Singh. But after this incident, her experience became bitter, and she decided to distance herself.
Ending her talk, Anjali asked the audience, “You tell me, if you were in my place, what would you have done and what should I have done at that time?”
Big questions raised by the incident
This statement of Anjali Raghav is no longer limited to just a controversy, but it also raises serious questions about the respect of women and their treatment in the industry. Even though the old video has surfaced now, the questions related to it are equally relevant even today.
