**Akshara Singh accuses Pawan Singh of abuse, threats and career sabotage**
Pawan Singh and Akshara Singh were in a rumored romantic relationship post-Pawan’s first wife’s suicide in 2014, which ended amid bitter fallout around 2018-19. Akshara accused him of physical abuse, threats to kill her if she left, forcing her to sign a “contractual relationship” agreement, and circulating her obscene photos/videos online after she tried to end it. Akshara filed an FIR against Pawan in 2019 for defamation, threats, and sharing vulgar content, claiming he beat her multiple times and nearly caused her death. She alleged he demanded she touch his feet before stage performances and controlled her career, while his second wife Jyoti later claimed Akshara was three months pregnant by him. Pawan has denied deep involvement, stating he never said “I love you” to anyone and remains silent on specifics. In 2026, Akshara slammed double standards, noting Pawan dates multiple women without scrutiny while she’s constantly questioned about their past. She expressed frustration over career damage and seeks no further association, amid Pawan’s ongoing divorce from Jyoti involving similar abuse claims.
