Anjali Raghav, a Bhojpuri actor, responded to singer Pawan Singh's apology on her behalf.

He apologised to her for making inappropriate physical contact on stage at a recent event in Lucknow.

“Pawan Singh ji ne apni galti ki manfi mangli hai .wo mujhse bade hai aur senior artist hai ...maine unhe manf kar dia hai ...mai is bat ko aur aage nahi badhana chahti jai shree ram (Pawan Singh ji admitted his mistake and apologised. 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 ),” she wrote while reposting his message.

Pawan wrote late night on Saturday, “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.”

They both were seen sharing the stage in the event's video. Pawan, wearing a white coat and trousers, stood next to Anjali, who was speaking to the crowd while wearing a shimmering golden saree. Pawan put his hand on her waist as she interacted with the audience.
