The Bhojpuri film industry has been buzzing with heated discussions after actress Anjali Raghav made an announcement that she would quit films. Her decision came after an uncomfortable incident with Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh during a recent event in Lucknow.
During the function, Pawan repeatedly touches Anjali’s waist, reportedly saying something was stuck there. Anjali, however, appeared visibly uneasy on stage, but her discomfort was ignored at that moment.

The matter took a bigger turn when Anjali shared her decision to step away from Bhojpuri films. Her announcement left many fans heartbroken, while also bringing more attention to the incident.
Soon, Pawan Singh broke his silence and issued a half-baked apology through Instagram Stories.
In his message, written in Hindi, Pawan clarified that he had no wrong intentions towards Anjali. He explained, “Anjali ji, due to my busy schedule, I could not watch your live. When I came to know about this issue, I felt very bad.”
He further added, “I had no wrong intention as we are artists. Still, if you felt hurt by my behaviour, I sincerely apologise.”
Netizens believe the issue reflects a larger problem of casual behaviour towards women in the industry.
