Bhojpuri cinema has been shaken by a succession of high‑profile controversies. The latest wave includes a leaked private video of actress Trisha Kar Madhu, abuse allegations by Akshara Singh against Pawan Singh, and claims that actor Ravi Kishan has a secret second wife.
Trisha Kar Madhu’s private MMS leak
In August 2021 a private MMS showing Trisha Kar Madhu in a compromising situation with her boyfriend surfaced online. The actress says the footage was recorded without her consent by a roommate early in her career and was released as sabotage after she refused certain demands. She has publicly condemned the leak, urged fans to delete the video and highlighted the harsh treatment of women in the Bhojpuri film sector. Legal proceedings are ongoing.
Akshara Singh’s accusations against Pawan Singh
Akshara Singh alleged that Pawan Singh subjected her to physical abuse, threats of death, and career sabotage during a rumored relationship that began after Pawan’s first wife’s suicide in 2014. She filed an FIR in 2019 accusing him of defamation, threats and sharing obscene material online. According to her, he forced her to sign a “contractual relationship” agreement, demanded she touch his feet before stage performances and attempted to control her career. Pawan’s second wife, Jyoti Singh, later claimed Akshara was three months pregnant by him. Pawan has denied the allegations and has not commented on the specifics.
Pawan Singh’s second wife Jyoti’s allegations
Jyoti Singh, who married Pawan in 2018 after his first wife’s death, accused him of giving her abortion pills twice, subjecting her to physical and mental torture, infidelity and neglect. Their marriage deteriorated, leading to divorce filings around 2022. The dispute intensified in 2025 with court cases in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh concerning maintenance and alimony. Jyoti continues to seek legal redress.
Ravi Kishan’s secret marriage claim
Rumours have surfaced that Ravi Kishan is secretly married to a second woman, a claim that has sparked widespread discussion on social media. No official confirmation or legal filing has been reported yet, but the story adds to the string of controversies surrounding the Bhojpuri film fraternity.
Other incidents
Additional controversies include the mysterious death of actress Akanksha Dubey and various allegations of rape and domestic abuse that have periodically emerged within the industry. These incidents collectively paint a picture of an industry grappling with personal scandals that often eclipse its artistic output.
While Bhojpuri cinema remains one of the most popular regional film sectors in India, these repeated controversies have drawn national attention for all the wrong reasons. Legal battles continue, and public discourse remains focused on the need for better protection of artists, especially women, within the industry.
