Pawan Singh, a prominent Bhojpuri film actor and singer, is making headlines for his potential entry into politics. With the Lok Sabha elections 2024 approaching, speculations are rife about him being fielded by the BJP against veteran actor and TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha, possibly in Asansol, Bengal, where Sinha currently serves.
Focus on Popularity and Wealth
While details about Singh’s official candidacy are yet to be confirmed, reports suggest that his vast popularity and wealth might be seen as assets by the BJP. Singh enjoys a massive fan following, not just for his acting and singing, but also for his luxurious lifestyle. His estimated net worth is reported to be around Rs 50-65 crore (6-8 million dollars).
Earnings and Assets
Singh reportedly commands a high fee of Rs 40-50 lakh per film and earns a significant amount through music, charging around Rs 2-3 lakh per song. His annual income is estimated to be between Rs 3-5 crore.
Singh’s wealth extends beyond his earnings. He reportedly owns luxurious houses in Mumbai and Bihar, including a flat in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala valued at around Rs 3 crore. He also possesses ancestral land and a large house in Arrah, Bihar.
A Passion for Luxury Cars
Adding to his luxurious lifestyle is Singh’s impressive car collection. From a Mercedes-Benz GLE 250d worth around Rs 78 lakh to a Toyota Fortuner (around Rs 25-30 lakh) and a Mahindra Scorpio (around Rs 14 lakh), Singh enjoys a taste for expensive vehicles.
Lagging Behind in Net Worth
While Singh’s wealth is substantial, it reportedly pales in comparison to Shatrughan Sinha’s net worth, estimated at around Rs 131 crore (18 million dollars). Sinha also boasts of significant immovable properties in Juhu, Mumbai and Patna.
