Pawan Singh Faces Backlash Over Chicken-Cooking Video During Sawan, Fans Question His Look

Mumbai: The reality show "Bhojpuri Bawal" is currently in the news. The show has seen numerous controversies, and now a video from its latest episode is going viral, in which Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh has become the target of trolls.

What is there in the video?

In the promo and recent episode of the show, Pawan Singh is seen cooking and eating chicken with a tilak on his forehead, due to which internet users are trolling him a lot on social media.

What reason did Pawan Singh give for eating chicken?

During the show, Pawan Singh asks his team to go to a village and catch a local chicken. During this conversation, when the topic of non-vegetarian food is raised, Pawan reveals that he has considered giving up chicken or non-vegetarian food many times. But then, offering a humorous and bizarre argument, Pawan Singh says that sometimes he thinks he shouldn't eat chicken, but even if he doesn't, their numbers will increase so much that they will start eating humans. Because of this strange logic, people are finding his argument difficult to accept.

Why is Pawan Singh being trolled?

Immediately after this video featuring Pawan Singh came to light, people on social media were irate. The main cause of all this trolling was the fact that during the month of Sawan, Pawan Singh was shown to be cooking chicken with a huge tilak on his forehead and wearing a Hanuman pendant around his neck.

People are saying that on one hand he is seen wearing religious attire and on the other hand he is eating non-vegetarian food during Sawan. Netizens are calling him a hypocrite and commenting that it is absolutely inappropriate to apply tilka on the forehead and cook chicken in the month of Sawan and mock religion. One user wrote, "He has applied a tilak and is eating chicken," while another user wrote, "Open Hanuman Ji's mala when you are about to eat chicken." 

What did Pawan Singh say?

In this episode, Pawan Singh displayed his culinary skills as well. While cutting onions, he informed us that in any desi chicken or mutton dish prepared in the UP-Bihar style, there are no tomatoes included. Moreover, he also narrated a story of how he would play Antakshari. Currently streaming on Jio Hotstar, Pawan Singh's chicken clip from the show is going viral. Some fans of the superstar are supporting the actor, saying that the video is old, from before the month of Sawan, while others are saying that posting an old video is defaming him. However, a large number of users are seen criticizing Pawan Singh in the comments. However, there has been no response from the actor or his team yet.
