The divorce saga between Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh and his second wife, Jyoti Singh, continues to unfold with new developments. The couple's marital discord has been a topic of public discussion for several years, marked by allegations, legal proceedings, and attempts at reconciliation.
Pawan Singh filed for divorce from Jyoti Singh in October 2021, after four years of marriage. The grounds for divorce reportedly involve allegations of domestic abuse and marital disputes. Jyoti Singh has further claimed that she was forced to undergo abortions. Conversely, Pawan Singh's legal team has denied these allegations.
The divorce case has been playing out in Ara Civil Court, with both parties appearing for hearings. Jyoti Singh has demanded a substantial alimony, initially reported as ₹5 crore, while Pawan Singh has reportedly offered a smaller settlement. Negotiations regarding alimony and property settlement have been ongoing, with Jyoti Singh also expressing a desire for a residence as part of the settlement.
Adding another layer to the complexity, a video recently went viral featuring Jyoti Singh addressing her husband directly, expressing her struggles and appealing for him to acknowledge her difficulties. In the video, she emphasizes that she is still legally Pawan Singh's wife and that her hardships reflect poorly on him as well. This emotional appeal has sparked considerable debate, particularly in Karakat, where Pawan Singh contested the general election.
Amidst the legal battle and public scrutiny, both Pawan Singh and Jyoti Singh are reportedly considering political careers. There are reports suggesting Pawan Singh may contest in the Bihar Assembly elections from Ara, while Jyoti Singh is also rumored to be considering running for office from RJD.
Adding a twist to the ongoing legal drama, recent reports indicate that the court has overturned the divorce decision. While the specific reasons behind this reversal remain unclear, some sources suggest that it may be related to a potential reconciliation or a court directive for the couple to attempt to reconcile.
Pawan Singh's personal life has been marred by controversies. His first marriage to Neelam Singh ended tragically with her suicide in 2015. Furthermore, actress Akshara Singh filed an FIR against Pawan Singh in 2019, alleging harassment and intimidation.
As of September 2025, the situation remains fluid, with the court's decision to potentially halt the divorce proceedings adding another layer of uncertainty. It remains to be seen whether Pawan Singh and Jyoti Singh will reconcile or if the legal battle will continue.
