The Bhojpuri film industry, known for its foot-tapping hits and larger-than-life stars, is now grappling with a crime wave. Prominent MP-actor Manoj Tiwari’s Mumbai apartment became the scene of a shocking theft totaling Rs 5.4 lakh. It started back in June 2025 with Rs 4.4 lakh missing mysteriously. Secret CCTV installation followed, and on January 15 night, it paid off—footage showed the intruder pocketing Rs 1 lakh using duplicate keys. Shockingly, the thief was Tiwari’s ex-servant, now in custody. The episode raises serious questions about trusted household staff and celebrity home security.
Pawan Singh, the undisputed ‘Power Star’ of Bhojpuri, endured a home invasion in Ara, Bihar. Burglars broke in through a window, looting Rs 15 lakh in jewelry, rifle ammo, and cash, but left the gun behind. An FIR by his brother kicked off investigations involving forensics.
Amrapali Dubey, the queen of Bhojpuri screens, lost valuables including her phone during an Ayodhya shoot stay. The hotel theft, worth lakhs, was cracked via CCTV, with culprits nabbed quickly. She commended the efficient policing.
Contrast this with Mitali Sharma’s downfall: once a rising star, she was found begging and pilfering on Mumbai roads amid personal crises, leading to medical intervention. From red carpets to streets, her story highlights industry pitfalls. As thefts mount, Bhojpuri stars must rethink protection strategies to safeguard their fortunes.
