Recently, he was in the news again for joining the reality show Rise and Fall. These good and bad moments keep him one of the most talked-about stars in Bhojpuri cinema.

Famous Songs That Made Him Popular
Pawan Singh started his journey as a singer, and his first album Odhaniya Wali was released in 1997. But his real breakthrough came with the 2008 Bhojpuri hit “Lollipop Lagelu.”
The song went viral across the world and is still played at weddings and parties. Other famous tracks include Kamariya Hila Rahi Hai (his Bollywood debut song), Babuni Tere Rang Me, and Jindagi. These songs gave him a huge fan following not just in India but also abroad.
Controversies Around Him
Fame brought controversies, too. In 2015, his first wife, Neelam Singh, passed away, which was a big personal setback. Later, his second marriage with Jyoti Singh also saw problems, and divorce proceedings began in 2022.
In 2025, a Varanasi court ordered police to file an FIR against him in a ₹1.57 crore film investment fraud case. He was accused of cheating a hotel owner and threatening him. This case again put him in the headlines.

Recently, Pawan Singh faced backlash over a stage incident with actress Anjali Raghav at an event promoting their song Saiya Seva Kare. The video shows Singh touching Anjali’s waist, saying something was stuck there. Anjali looked uncomfortable. Many social media users criticised him for touching her without consent.
Wife, Children & Family Life
Pawan Singh married Jyoti Singh in 2018, but their marriage has faced many ups and downs. Earlier, he lost his first wife, Neelam Singh, in 2015. He is also a father, though he mostly keeps his children away from the media. His personal life continues to attract attention along with his work.
Pawan Singh in Rise & Fall
In September 2025, Singh surprised his fans by joining the reality TV show Rise and Fall, hosted by Ashneer Grover. The show tests how celebrities live in both luxury and tough conditions. His entry gave viewers a chance to see him outside his usual image in films and music.
About the Show Rise and Fall
The show puts celebrities and influencers in two very different situations – the luxury-filled “Rise” side and the struggle-heavy “Fall” side. Contestants must prove themselves through tasks and strategies to move between the two. Singh’s presence added star power to the show and gave Bhojpuri fans something new to enjoy.
