Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh has officially entered the reality show Rise And Fall, hosted by Ashneer Grover, in its third episode. His participation, however, comes at a time when he is facing heavy criticism following an incident with actress Anjali Raghav during a promotional event in Lucknow for their song Saiya Seva Kare.
What happened in the episode
In the show’s premiere weekend, Singh was seen interacting with Splitsvilla X5 winner Akriti Negi. During their conversation, Akriti revealed that she had never worked in films despite her interest, saying, “Movie nahi kiya. Mann hai, lekin abhi tak woh chance nahi mila.”
Responding to her, Singh confidently offered her an opportunity, stating, “Maine 250 se zyada filmein ki hain.”
Later in the episode, Singh made a bold statement to his fellow contestants, declaring, “Yeh sab mere saamne 0 hai,” directly challenging the entire house. His entry has already sparked drama, adding intrigue to the Rulers vs Workers high-stakes format of the show.

Pawan Singh–Anjali Raghav controversy
