Bhojpuri cinema’s actress and singer Akshara Singh is once again in the spotlight. On March 30, 2025, during the Hindu New Year 2025 event in Ara, Bihar, she made a controversial statement that caught the attention of fans and media. From the stage, Akshara said, “We consider you a dog. If you have the courage, say it to my face. Only dogs bark from behind, and we count you among them.”
This statement is believed to be directed at Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, with whom Akshara has had a tumultuous past. However, some claim she was responding to an obscene gesture from a member of the audience, not Pawan Singh. The incident has reignited discussions about their controversial relationship.
"पवन सिंह के गांव पहुंचीं अक्षरा सिंह, बोलीं – हम तुम्हें कुत्ता ही समझते हैं, अगर दम है तो सामने आकर बोलो। क्योंकि पीछे से तो सिर्फ कुत्ते भौंकते हैं, और उन्हीं कुत्तों में हम तुम्हारी गिनती करते हैं।'#PawanSingh #AksharaSingh #Bhojpuri #BhojpuriCinema #ViralVideo… pic.twitter.com/4Nkkx5qydo

Akshara Singh and Pawan Singh’s relationship has been one of the most talked-about and controversial topics in Bhojpuri cinema. The duo worked together in multiple films, and their on-screen chemistry was widely appreciated. However, their personal relationship was often in the news.
In 2024, during Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Akshara revealed that she was deeply in love with Pawan, but the relationship took an emotional toll on her. She alleged that she faced psychological manipulation and pressure, which affected her mental well-being.
Pawan Singh’s personal life has been surrounded by controversy. His first wife, Neelam, died by suicide in 2015, just months after their wedding. Following this, Pawan’s name was linked with several actresses, with Akshara Singh being the most prominent. After their breakup, Akshara accused Pawan of threatening her career and even claimed that her life was in danger.
In 2023, Pawan’s second wife, Jyoti Singh, alleged in an interview that Akshara was three months pregnant during their relationship. She also claimed that Pawan subjected her to mental harassment and forced her to take medications that led to a miscarriage.
Akshara’s Strong Response to Obscene Gestures
During the Hindu New Year event in Ara, some audience members reportedly made obscene gestures toward Akshara, provoking her strong response. She reprimanded them from the stage, but the media linked her statement to Pawan Singh, causing the news to go viral.
Some social media users called out the misleading reports, asserting that her statement was directed at misbehaving audience members, not Pawan. One user wrote, “She was in Bakhourapur, not Pawan Singh’s village. Stop dragging his name into this unnecessarily.” Another added, “She was clearly responding to an audience member who crossed the line.”
