Bhojpuri film superstar Pawan Singh announced he will not contest the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, choosing instead to remain a steadfast supporter of the BJP. This comes amid speculation he might contest from the Bhojpur district after recent high-profile political meetings.

Despite interest from supporters, Singh clarified his stance through a post on social media platform X, emphasizing his role as a 'soldier' for the BJP rather than a candidate. Singh's decision to steer clear of elections contrasts with his previous independent run for the Karakat Lok Sabha seat in 2024.

Adding to the intrigue, Singh's personal life is under the spotlight as his wife Jyoti Singh's meeting with political strategist Prashant Kishor sparked rumors. Kishor later dismissed any political aspirations, stating her visit was to highlight personal difficulties, amid ongoing marital discord and allegations of harassment.
