Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh is capturing hearts on Amazon MX Player’s popular reality show Rise and Fall, sharing poignant moments about his humble beginnings. In a recent episode, Pawan grew emotional while recounting the days when traveling by flight or sitting in the AC coach of a train seemed like far-fetched dreams.

Born in Jokhari village, Bihar, 39-year-old Pawan Singh opened up about his background, mentioning how his family once slept on rooftops. He reminisced about watching ships pass by with his brothers and imagining the lives of those onboard. Growing up, he often traveled in general train compartments, while peering enviously through windows into air-conditioned coaches. These humble memories have stayed with him, even as his career soared.

Pawan Singh’s musical journey began in the 1990s, inspired and mentored by his uncle, who taught him music. By the early 2000s, he was releasing music albums, gradually carving a name in Bhojpuri cinema over nearly two decades. The show highlights more than his stardom, reflecting the challenges and dreams that shaped him.

His candid stories on Rise and Fall have moved fellow contestants and viewers alike, showcasing the resilience behind the glamour. The show, hosted by Ashneer Grover, pits 16 celebrities from diverse fields against each other in a high-stakes game of strategy and survival.
