At a Bhojpuri award show held on Monday, popular actors and singers Pawan Singh and Manoj Tiwari appeared together on stage, joined by actresses Monalisa and Neelam Giri. Amidst the event, Manoj Tiwari humorously mentioned that Pawan Singh had stopped answering his calls lately.
Light-hearted Banter Between Stars
During their interaction in Bhojpuri, Manoj Tiwari held Pawan Singh’s hand and joked, “These days you don’t pick up my calls. I’m doing a show on Colors TV called Pati Patni Aur Panga.” Tiwari elaborated that he was assigned a task during the show to call Pawan Singh in the evening to request one lakh rupees, but Singh apologized with a smile for not answering.
Pawan Singh responded that he too had been contacted for that same show. He humorously expressed confusion over whom to accompany, refusing all options politely. Manoj suggested that Singh should come on the show one day, to which Singh agreed, mentioning that he is senior to Tiwari in singing. Both shared laughter over their seniority and recalled past moments, including one where Tiwari carried Singh on stage in Kolkata.
Their Friendship and Respect on Display
Manoj Tiwari praised Pawan Singh and recalled their joint show in Kolkata, describing Singh as stubborn yet talented. Tiwari also asked if Singh would honor him someday, calling it the greatest respect. Singh and Tiwari shared anecdotes of their performances and struggles, with Singh recalling how he helped Tiwari sing during a time of illness when he was not yet a Member of Parliament.
During the program, Pawan Singh appeared barefoot on stage, a detail noticed by both the audience and Manoj Tiwari. When Tiwari asked about his sandals, Singh explained that he chose to keep them off to maintain cultural values and out of respect for the occasion.
Expressing gratitude, Pawan Singh acknowledged that artists like them speaking on stage or attending events with respect was all due to Manoj Tiwari’s support. He immediately touched Tiwari’s feet and remarked, “This is your credit, brother. Otherwise, we would be farming or stuck in jobs paying 1500 to 2000 rupees.”
This heartfelt statement highlighted the crucial role Manoj Tiwari played in elevating the careers of many artists within the Bhojpuri industry. Their camaraderie on stage drew warm applause and showed the close bond shared between the two stars.
Overall, the event captured not just the glitz of a Bhojpuri award show but also moments of genuine respect, friendship, and humor between two major figures of the industry. Their exchanges offered fans insight into behind-the-scenes relationships and the struggles artists face to succeed.
As the night progressed, Manoj Tiwari and Pawan Singh continued to entertain and engage the audience with their stories and witty remarks, leaving a memorable impression at the event.
