Bhojpuri actor-singer Pawan Singh's estranged wife, Jyoti Singh, filed her nomination as an independent candidate from the Karakat assembly seat for the Bihar Assembly elections. "The people of Karakat developed a close connection with Jyoti Singh when she campaigned for Pawan Singh during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections," her father said. Pawan Singh had lost the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
