Pawan Singh Turns 40: Midnight Birthday Bash Sparks Social Media Storm

January 5, 2026 – Bhojpuri “Power Star” Pawan Singh marked his 40th birthday today, but the celebration has quickly transitioned from a festive milestone into a major social media controversy. As videos of the midnight cake-cutting ceremony in Lucknow went viral, fans and critics alike have been left divided over the superstar’s conduct and mysterious personal life.

A Midnight Celebration with Mixed Reactions

The celebrations began at the stroke of midnight at Pawan Singh’s residence. In the footage circulating across platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), the actor is seen surrounded by close friends, family, and members of his musical team. While the atmosphere was initially one of joy—complete with the chanting of “Har Har Mahadev”—the video has sparked intense debate.

Observers were quick to point out that the singer appeared visibly unsteady and “inundated,” with some netizens alleging he was intoxicated. In the viral clips, Singh struggles to cut the birthday cake independently, eventually requiring assistance from a woman standing beside him.

Rumors of a Third Marriage Surface

The presence of a mystery woman at the center of the celebration has reignited the rumor mill regarding the actor’s marital status. The woman, seen wearing vermilion (sindoor) in her hair—a traditional symbol of marriage—was seen holding Pawan’s hand as they sliced the cake together.

This has led to widespread speculation about a potential third marriage, especially given the actor’s tumultuous relationship history.

• Past Marriages: Singh’s first wife, Neelam, tragically passed away in 2015.
• Current Status: His second marriage to Jyoti Singh has been fraught with public disputes and a pending divorce case.

Interestingly, Jyoti Singh herself added a layer of complexity to the day by posting a birthday wish for Pawan on her social media, which some fans interpreted as a sarcastic move or a deliberate attempt to highlight his condition in the viral video.

Career and Political Milestones

Despite the personal controversies, 2026 marks a significant year for the artist. Born on January 5, 1986, in Bihar’s Ara district, Pawan Singh has evolved from a local folk singer to a global Bhojpuri icon.

• New Music: To mark the occasion, he released a special birthday track titled “Birthday Babuaan Ke,” which has already begun trending on YouTube.
• Political Ambition: Following his independent run in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Singh remains a potent influence in Bihar’s socio-political landscape, often using his birthday to reconnect with his massive “Power Star” fan base.

The Fan Verdict

While many die-hard fans continue to flood the internet with “Happy Birthday Power Star” hashtags, others have expressed disappointment. “A public figure of his stature should be more mindful of his image,” one user commented, while another defended him, stating, “It is his private life; let him celebrate how he chooses.”

As the day progresses, more stars from the Bhojpuri industry are expected to join the festivities, but the shadow of the viral midnight video continues to dominate the conversation.
