Controversies

In 2019, Bhojpuri Actress Akshara Singh filed an FIR against him for giving her death threats and posting her vulgar pictures and videos on social media. She claimed that, they were in relationship and she decided to end that after he got married in March 2018. Singh, however, did not want things to end yet and began pressurising her to continue their relationship. Akshara has alleged he also threatened to “not let her work in the industry”.[12][13]

His second wife Jyoti Singh alleged that he forced her to abort two pregnancies and accused him of domestic violence.[14]
