 "Actress Anjali Raghav quits Bhojpuri industry after her co-star Pawan Singh touches her inappropriately in public: 'People are asking why I didn't slap him but...'")
Actress Anjali Raghav and her co-star, the Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh were at an event recently when Singh touched Yadav’s waist publicly and is now being slammed for his inappropriate behaviour. The actress has now quit the industry after the incident.
In a video that she shared on Instagram, Anjali says, “I have been very worried for the last two days. I keep receiving DMs asking why I didn’t say anything, why I didn’t take action, why I didn’t slap him. Some people are even blaming me, writing in memes, ‘She was smiling, enjoying it.’ Would I feel happy or enjoy it if someone touched me in public without my consent?”
The actress added, “I realised my saree was new and maybe the tag at the bottom was showing, or even the blouse tag could be visible. I laughed it off, thinking it could be adjusted later. That’s why I smiled and continued speaking to the audience.”
“Later, when I asked my team member if something was there, they said nothing was. That’s when I felt very bad, I got angry, and even cried. But at that moment, I didn’t know what to do,” she continued.
Pawan Singh issues apology
Anjali, due to my busy schedule, I couldn’t watch your live. When I came to know about the matter, I felt very bad.
I had no wrong intention towards you as we are artists. Even then, if you were hurt by my behaviour, then I apologise.
The shocking incident took place at a promotional event of Pawan’s recently released song Saiya Seva Kare, which also features Anjali.
