The political temperature in Bihar is rising fast as the state heads toward its high-stakes assembly elections. What’s catching everyone’s attention this time is not just the parties or promises, but the growing list of entertainment figures stepping into politics. From Bhojpuri superstar Akshara Singh’s meeting with BJP MP Giriraj Singh to folk sensation Maithili Thakur hinting at contesting from her hometown, the line between glamour and governance in Bihar seems to be blurring.
Akshara Singh’s Meeting With Giriraj Singh Sparks Political Speculation in Bihar
Known for her strong screen presence in Bhojpuri cinema, Akshara Singh recently met BJP leader and Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh, creating a wave of political curiosity. The actress shared a photo of the meeting on social media with the caption, “Today, I had a courtesy meeting with Hon’ble Giriraj Singh Ji and received his blessings.”
While Akshara termed it a courtesy meeting, political circles in Bihar are buzzing with speculation. Many believe this could mark her entry into active politics, possibly even positioning her against fellow Bhojpuri star and BJP newcomer Pawan Singh. Netizens flooded her comment section, urging her to “take on Pawan Singh” in the upcoming elections.
Bihar’s Political Suspense Deepens Ahead of Polls
The timing of Akshara Singh’s meeting has raised eyebrows. With elections around the corner, such meetings rarely go unnoticed. Was it just a friendly visit or the beginning of a political alliance? For now, neither Akshara nor Giriraj Singh has confirmed any political intent, but the buzz is enough to fuel speculation across Bihar’s political circles.
Adding to the intrigue is Akshara’s previous appearance on Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj platform in 2023. Accompanied by her father, she praised Kishor’s ideology and campaign, leading to speculation that she might join the Jan Suraj movement. However, she later clarified that she supports “good ideology” and is not tied to any particular political party.
Maithili Thakur’s Political Debut Talks Gain Momentum in Benipatti
While Akshara Singh’s meeting set the rumour mills spinning, folk singer Maithili Thakur has openly expressed interest in entering the political arena. The 25-year-old singer from Madhubani’s Benipatti recently met BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde and Union Minister Nityanand Rai. Her meetings have sparked talk that she might contest from Benipatti in the upcoming assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters during her visit to the Narmada Mahotsav, Thakur said she feels a deep connection to her hometown and wishes to start her political journey there. “There hasn’t been any official announcement yet, but I would like to go to my village area because I have a special connection with it,” she said. “Starting from there will give me a chance to learn by meeting and talking to people.”
Music, Politics, and Bihar’s Changing Landscape
Born into a family of musicians, Maithili Thakur has been a household name since 2011 when she began her career at the age of 11.
Benipatti, the seat she is being linked with, is currently represented by BJP’s Vinod Narayan Jha, who defeated Congress candidate Bhavana Jha in 2020 by over 30,000 votes. If Thakur enters the race, it could inject fresh energy, and competition, into this Brahmin-dominated constituency.
Entertainment Meets Politics as Bihar Heads Toward a High-Voltage Poll Battle
As Bihar gears up for its two-phase assembly election on November 6 and 11, with counting on November 14, the participation of stars like Akshara Singh and Maithili Thakur could significantly influence the state’s political mood. With Pawan Singh already on the BJP’s side and rumours swirling about Akshara’s possible entry, Bihar’s elections are shaping up to be as dramatic as a Bhojpuri film, full of twists, rivalries, and unexpected turns.
