Pawan Singh, the undisputed king of Bhojpuri music, has a wardrobe rule that’s as strict as his hit formulas: no black clothes, ever. This isn’t a style quirk—it’s a deeply held conviction that’s shaped his public image for over a decade. Curious fans have long speculated, but now the singer has shared the genuine backstory.
Rooted in his Bihar upbringing, Pawan’s avoidance stems from longstanding family customs. ‘My grandmother always said black brings sorrow and darkness,’ he recounted. ‘We’ve followed this in our family for generations.’ Influenced by Hindu astrology, he believes certain colors align with positive planetary energies. Black, linked to Saturn’s malefic influence, is off-limits.
This belief extends beyond clothing. Pawan’s home decor avoids black entirely, favoring auspicious hues. His music videos reflect this too—think the sunny yellows in ‘Saniya Mirza’ or pristine whites in devotional tracks. During Navratri performances, his colorful attire amplifies the festive spirit.
Astrologers confirm this practice is common among public figures wary of ‘evil eye.’ Pawan credits it for his unbroken streak of successes, from sold-out shows to film hits. ‘It’s about faith,’ he emphasizes. ‘In showbiz, where envy lurks, I protect my aura.’
As Pawan gears up for new projects, his no-black policy remains firm. It’s a reminder that superstitions persist even in modern celebrity life, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary fame. Fans love this authentic side, turning his choice into a talking point that boosts his relatable appeal.
