As a playback singer, his voice has been featured in several Hindi films, such as the track "Aayi Nai" from Stree 2 and the track "Chumma" from Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.[2] Singh was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for his rendition of "Aayi Nai".[3]

Early life and education
[edit]Born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, into a Hindu Rajput family.[citation needed] Singh attended primary school in Kolkata before returning to Arrah, where he completed his intermediate education at H.N.K. High School. He later graduated from Maharaja College, Arrah.[4]
Music career
[edit]Singh's first album was Odhaniya Wali, which was released in 1997.[citation needed] In 2004, he made his acting debut with the 2007 film Rangli Chunariya Tohre Naam.[citation needed] In 2008, Singh released the album Lollipop Lageli, which includes the song "Lollipop Lagelu".[5] That year, Singh released another album, Don't Touch My Body, with the song "Saniya Mirza Cut Nathuniya".[6]
In 2020, he made his Bollywood debut with the song "Kamariya Hila Rahi Hai" featuring American dancer and actress Lauren Gottlieb.[7] His second Bollywood single was "Babuni Tere Rang Me", a holi song featuring Tridha Choudhury, which was followed by "Current" featuring Payal Dev.[8] In 2021, he sang a Chhath song with Sonu Nigam and also released a Bhojpuri cover version of some popular Bollywood songs like "Lut Gaye (Bhojpuri)", originally sung by Jubin Nautiyal and "Barish Ban Jana". After Bhojpuri cover versions, he released a remake of the famous Hindi song "Tumsa Koi Pyara" from the film Raja Babu (1994) in Bhojpuri.[9] His next Bhojpuri single, "Zindagi" was in collaboration with Haryanvi singer Renuka Panwar.[10][10]
Pawan Singh received the Best Male Singer Award at the International Bhojpuri Film Awards 2016.[11]
Political career
[edit]Pawan Singh entered politics ahead of the 2024 Indian general election, chosen as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Asansol Lok Sabha constituency in West Bengal. His nomination drew mixed reactions. Some welcomed his popularity as a Bhojpuri film star, while others criticized the decision, citing his controversial public image. Within days of the announcement, Singh withdrew his candidature, stating that the decision was made due to "personal reasons."
In May 2024, Singh was expelled from the BJP after announcing his candidacy as an independent candidate for the Karakat Lok Sabha constituency in Bihar, opposing the party's official nominee, Upendra Kushwaha. The BJP cited his actions as "anti-party activities" and "indiscipline," stating that his decision harmed the party's image.[12]
Singh's campaign in Karakat received media coverage, and featured large public rallies that included musical performances. His candidacy divided public opinion; supporters saw him as representing the youth and the Bhojpuri-speaking population, while critics expressed concerns regarding his political experience and the potential for vote splitting. Although he did not win the election, commentators noted that the campaign increased his political profile in Bihar.[13][14]
On 1 October 2025, Pawan Singh rejoined the BJP under the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president J P Nadda, BJP Bihar in charge Vinod Tawde and his Karakat opponent Upendra Kushwaha.[15]
Personal life
[edit]Singh married Neelam Singh in 2014; she committed suicide in March 2015.[16]
In 2019, actress Akshara Singh filed a first information report (FIR) against Singh, alleging threats and posting of vulgar content on social media after their breakup.[17]
In March 2018, he married Jyoti Singh, a resident of Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. In October 2021, Jyoti Singh filed for divorce, alleging domestic abuse and marital disputes. She also claimed that he forced her to undergo abortions after their marriage. The divorce case included disputes over alimony and property settlement, with reports suggesting Jyoti Singh demanded financial compensation and a residence, while Pawan Singh offered a smaller settlement.[18][19][20]
In September 2025, Singh faced legal issues in Varanasi after a complaint alleged that he had cheated a hotelier of ₹1.57 crore in connection with investments in the 2018 Bhojpuri film Boss. The court directed the police to register a case under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code.[21]
Filmography
[edit]Pawan Singh has acted in more than 150 Bhojpuri films as both a lead and supporting actor.
