Jyoti Singh, the second wife of Bhojpuri film actor Pawan Singh, has filed her nomination as an Independent candidate from Karakat constituency ahead of the assembly elections in Bihar. As Jyoti submitted her nomination, a large crowd of local people gathered to show their support. Jyoti's move comes just days after her husband declared he would not contest the Bihar elections and would remain a "true soldier" of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), part of the state's ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
'People have close connection with Jyoti'
Jyoti's father Rambabu Singh stated people of Karakat had a connection with his daughter. He said: "The people of Karakat developed a close connection with Jyoti Singh when she campaigned for Pawan Singh during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections."
