Yamini Singh Controversies
- Yamini Singh alleged that Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh once asked her to compromise to get work.
- According to her, she was offered her first film “Boss,” and during that project, she was reportedly called late in the evening (around 9 pm) to come to the studio, and threatened with removal from the film if she refused. She claims she walked away from the film instead of accepting the demand.
- She later clarified that there was a “misunderstanding” about the “compromise” claim and that media had exaggerated the issue. She stated that she respects her co-stars and that she would never use the word “compromise” lightly.
- She has also raised broader issues about sexism in the Bhojpuri film industry: that actresses are paid less than male actors, newcomers are mocked, and producers/directors sometimes behave unfairly.
- The issue of misleading/fake viral videos: One video of a woman dancing in a car was misidentified on social media as BJP MLA Shreyasi Singh, but fact-check outlets showed that it was Yamini Singh in the video. Yamini Singh then filed FIRs against social media accounts which spread the misidentification.
- Trollers attacking her over her height: She reportedly suffered trolling / derogatory remarks in social media, being called “aadmi” (“man”) by some, presumably as a way to mock her height or appearance. She publicly responded to such trolling via social media.
