Bhojpuri singer Nisha Upadhyay recently made headlines after a video of her thrashing an anchor on stage went viral.
The incident occurred during a live Bhojpuri stage show, where the anchor reportedly made an obscene and vulgar remark while asking about her performance rate.
In the video, Nisha can be seen angrily hitting the anchor with her footwear, leaving the audience shocked.
Social media erupted over the incident, with many criticizing the increasing vulgarity in Bhojpuri stage shows. While the government has taken measures to regulate DJs, there is little action against obscene content in live stage performances.
The incident took place during a Bhojpuri cultural show. According to reports, the anchor’s inappropriate comment about Nisha’s performance fee provoked the singer, prompting her to react by hitting him with a slipper on stage.
Watch here:
Bhojpuri stage shows have often been criticized for crossing the boundaries of decency, and this incident has reignited the debate over the content of such performances.
In a separate alarming incident, Nisha Upadhyay was reportedly injured during celebratory firing at a cultural event in Chapra, Bihar. She sustained a gunshot wound to her left thigh and was immediately admitted to Max Hospital, Patna.
Police are investigating the incident. A spokesperson told India Today:
“We received information about the incident but no written complaint has been filed yet. We are investigating how the gunshots were fired and who were involved.”
Nisha’s condition is reported to be stable, and videos of her performing at the event, minutes before the firing, have surfaced online.

The viral video of Nisha Upadhyay hitting the anchor has sparked widespread discussion on social media about the nature of Bhojpuri stage shows. Many viewers criticized the shows for crossing the line into vulgarity and called for stricter regulations.
