However, the footage has triggered sharp reactions from netizens, with many pointing out that the actor appeared visibly intoxicated. In the video, Pawan struggles to cut the cake on his own, prompting his co-star to step in and help. While some fans chose to overlook the moment and focused on celebrating their favourite star’s birthday, others expressed disappointment, calling the visuals unsettling for a public figure of his stature.

Fans Divided Over Birthday Video

As the video gained traction, social media platforms were flooded with contrasting opinions. Several users criticised the behaviour, expressing concern over the image of one of Bhojpuri cinema’s most influential personalities. Others, however, defended Pawan Singh, terming it a private celebration that should not be over-analysed. Despite the criticism, the birthday buzz remained strong, with hashtags related to Pawan Singh trending through the day.

Adding to the excitement, Pawan Singh also released a brand-new Bhojpuri song at 7 am on his birthday, much to the delight of his fans. The release helped balance the conversation, shifting attention back to his music and stardom.

From Small-Town Roots to Bhojpuri Stardom

Born on January 5, 1986, in Jokhari village of Bihar’s Ara district, Pawan Singh’s journey is one of grit and ambition. He completed his schooling in Ara and received formal music training from his uncle, Ajit Singh. His early exposure to music saw him perform at stage shows and play the harmonium at cultural events.

Pawan made his mark as a lead actor with the Bhojpuri film Rangli Chunariya Tohre Naam. However, it was the 2008 chartbuster Lollipop Lagelu that catapulted him to nationwide and international fame, cementing his status as a Bhojpuri music icon.

Beyond Cinema: Awards and Politics

Over the years, Pawan Singh has received multiple international Bhojpuri film awards and is widely credited with taking Bhojpuri cinema to a global audience. In 2024, he ventured into politics, contesting the Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate from Bihar’s Karakat constituency. Although he lost by a significant margin, his popularity among fans has remained strong.

Despite controversies and public scrutiny, Pawan Singh continues to dominate the Bhojpuri entertainment industry, proving that his fan base and influence remain as powerful as ever.
