Bhojpuri actor and politician Pawan Singh has responded to the recent dramatic events involving his wife, Jyoti Singh, who was seen outside his Lucknow residence in distress. The situation escalated when police officers prevented her from entering the house, leading Jyoti to accuse Pawan of filing a false FIR against her.
Jyoti Singh's emotional outburst was captured in a video that quickly went viral. In the video, she is seen confronting police officers, demanding to know why she was being barred from entering her husband's home. She claimed that Pawan Singh had filed a complaint against her, leading to the police presence. Visibly upset, Jyoti also accused her husband of infidelity, alleging that he had taken another woman to a hotel shortly after the elections. Adding to the drama, she threatened to consume poison if justice was not served.
Pawan Singh has now addressed the situation, offering his perspective on the events and explaining why the police were present at his residence. In a Facebook post, Singh stated that Jyoti had come to his home that morning and that he had respectfully invited her inside, where they spoke for about an hour and a half. He claimed that during their conversation, Jyoti repeatedly requested that he help her contest in the elections, which he stated was beyond his capacity.
Regarding the police presence, Pawan Singh clarified that they were there to prevent any untoward incident, not because he had filed a complaint against Jyoti. He stated that the police had been present since morning to ensure that everything happened in their presence and to prevent any disturbances from occurring, whether by the people who came with Jyoti or by anyone else. He refuted the notion that he had called the police.
Pawan Singh also addressed the allegations made by Jyoti, suggesting that she was trying to use him for political gain. He questioned whether he would ever hurt the sentiments of the public, who he considers to be like God to him, and because of whom he has achieved his success.
Jyoti Singh's accusations against Pawan Singh include allegations of adultery and harassment. She went live on Instagram, accusing the Bhojpuri star of being unfaithful and mistreating her. She claimed that Pawan Singh had taken another woman to a hotel in front of her shortly after the elections. She also stated that she was struggling to make ends meet despite being married to Pawan Singh.
The couple's marital discord is not new. In 2022, Jyoti Singh accused Pawan Singh of mental harassment, alleging that she was forced to undergo an abortion and was instigated to commit suicide. She also claimed that his mother and sister taunted her for her looks and that her mother-in-law took away a significant sum of money she had received from her maternal uncle. Furthermore, she alleged that she was given medication that led to a miscarriage and that Pawan Singh would abuse and assault her after getting drunk. Pawan Singh had filed for divorce in the Ara Family Court in 2022 and has reportedly missed several court hearings.
The unfolding drama has drawn significant attention, especially given Pawan Singh's recent return to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the approaching Bihar Assembly elections. His return to the BJP was considered a strategic move, particularly after the NDA's performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The controversy surrounding his personal life could potentially impact his political image and career.
