He is elder to me and a senior artist. I have forgiven him. I do not wish to take this matter forward any further. Jai Shree Ram ).”
Pawan Singh, addressing the incident late Saturday, posted, “Due to a busy schedule, Anjali ji, I couldn’t watch your live. When I came to know about this matter, I felt bad. I had no wrong intention towards you because we are all artists. Even then, if you felt hurt by any of my actions or behaviour, I sincerely apologise for that.”

What Happened Between Anjali Raghav and Pawan Singh
During the event promoting a new song, Anjali was addressing the audience in a golden saree when Pawan, in a white coat and trousers, placed his hand on her waist. While she initially smiled, she appeared visibly uncomfortable when he repeated the gesture. Despite Anjali refusing to move her hand, Pawan eventually stepped back. The video went viral, with social media users criticising the singer for inappropriate conduct.
Earlier, Anjali shared a series of Instagram videos explaining her distress, saying, “For the past two days, I’ve been very disturbed. I keep receiving DMs asking why I didn’t react, why I didn’t take action, why I didn’t slap him, about the Lucknow incident. Some people are even blaming me; some memes say, ‘She was laughing, she was enjoying it.’ Do you really think I would be happy or enjoy being touched in public like that?”
