Actress Anjali Raghav breaks silence after actor Pawan Singh touched her 'inappropriate', leaving the Bhojpuri industry
Haryanvi actress and singer Anjali Raghav, who recently worked with Bhojpuri -Superstar Pawan Singh for the song Saiya Seva Kare, announced her decision to leave the Bhojpuri industry. This comes after a viral video of a promotional event in Lucknow showed that Pawan Singh allegedly touched her remedy on stage, a moment that caused the outrage online. Anjali, who is best known for her popular Haryanvi music videos, shared a series of videos on Saturday in which he condemns the behavior of Pawan Singh. She revealed that she had been deeply disturbed for the past two days and received constant messages questioning why she did not respond immediately. Anjali said the criticism and memes that she “enjoyed” the incident because she was smiled: “Kuch Log Keh Raha Hain Ki Main Hass Rahi Thi, Maze Le Rahi Thi. Kya Public Mein Koi Mujhe Touch Karega toh Mujhe Khushi Hogi? Yeh Bilkul Galat Hasi.” The actress explained that Pawan Singh pointed to her waist during the event, claiming that something was trapped there. When she believed it could be a label of her new saree or blouse, she laughed it. However, after the event, a team member confirmed that there was nothing there, which left her shocked and upset. Anjali further revealed that she refrained from responding immediately because the crowd was dominated by Pawan Singh’s fan in Lucknow during the event. “Agar Maine Uss Waqt Kuch Bola Hota, Kya Wo Log Mera Saath Dete?” she asked. Anjali condemned the incident, saying that no girl should ever be touched without permission and called the act “completely wrong”. She added that if the incident occurred in Haryana, she would not have to respond at all, because the audience would take a stand. In her statement, Anjali announced that she will no longer work in the Bhojpuri industry. “Main Bilkul Bhi Support Nahi Karti Kisi Bhi Ladki Ko Bina Uske Permission Ke Touch Karna. Yeh Galat Hai. Is Wajah’s Main Ab Bhojpuri Industry Mein Kaam Nahi Karungi. Main Apni Family Ke Saathe Rehna Chahti Hoon Aur Naae Projects Investigation Karna Charna,” she said. The controversy has provoked a fierce debate on social media, with many supporting Anjali for expressing and taking a strong stand.
