At first, Anjali tried to ignore it with a smile. But when he did it again, she seemed uneasy. She even refused to move her hand when Pawan asked her to. The moment ended only when he stepped back after saying “Okay.”
The clip created a storm online, with many people criticizing Pawan Singh’s behaviour. Some even called it inappropriate and said no female artist should have to face such moments on stage.
After the backlash, Anjali Raghav expressed her disappointment and said she was hurt by the incident. Her words gained support from her fans, and soon Pawan Singh responded with an apology.
Pawan wrote late Saturday night that he had not seen Anjali’s earlier statement because of his busy schedule. He said that when he came to know about the issue, he felt very bad. “I had no wrong intention towards you because we are all artists,” he wrote. “Even then, if you felt hurt by any of my actions or behaviour, I sincerely apologise for that.”
On Sunday, Anjali Raghav shared Pawan Singh’s message on her social media and gave her response. She said she accepted his apology and did not want to drag the matter further.
“Pawan Singh ji admitted his mistake and apologised. He is elder to me and also a senior artist. I have forgiven him. I do not want to take this matter forward any more. Jai Shree Ram,” she wrote.
