The Amazon MX Player show ‘Rise and Fall’ is currently making headlines. Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh is a contestant on the show, and news about him surfaces daily. In a recent episode, Pawan Singh, alongside other contestants, reminisced about his early days when traveling by flight and sitting in an AC coach on a train were mere dreams. He became emotional while sharing his story, and the other contestants were also visibly moved.
During the latest episode of ‘Rise and Fall,’ a contestant asked Pawan Singh about his life before becoming a star. Pawan Singh responded, ‘It’s all about time; there was a time when we used to sleep on the roof with our family. Whenever a plane flew by, we’d talk with our siblings, wondering how people sit in those small aircraft.’
He continued, ‘We used to travel in the general compartments of trains, and whenever the train stopped for half an hour or so, we would rush to peep through the windows of the AC coaches, wondering how people sit inside. Now, all this has become common; I haven’t traveled by train in a long time, and I travel by flight only. But we never forgot that era, nor will we ever forget it.’
Pawan Singh, born in the village of Jokhari, Bihar, is 39 years old and has been working in Bhojpuri cinema for about 20 years. Pawan Singh has always been fond of singing, and he often sang with his uncle. Pawan Singh says that in the 90s, his uncle taught him music. Around 2000, he started singing, and his albums came out.
In 2008, his song ‘Lollypop Lagelu’ was released, and with this song, Pawan Singh became a star overnight. That year, his film ‘Pratigya’ was also released, in which Dinesh Lal was in the lead role with him. The film was a superhit, and the song was also great; after this, Pawan Singh never looked back. Today, Pawan Singh is one of the most popular singers and actors in Bhojpuri cinema, and his reach has extended to Bollywood.
