Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh had recently appeared in the reality show ‘Bigg Boss OTT’, however, she was eliminated last week along with her connection, singer Millind Gaba. Since her eviction, Akshara has made several revelations about her co-contestants in Karan Johar’s show. 
In a recent interview with Times of India, Akshara opened up about the toxic relationship with her ex-boyfriend. The actress revealed that when the situation got out of hand, she fell into depression. It was her father who told her to fight back and said he’s with her.
While speaking about the difficult times she faced because of her ex, Akshara said, “I was getting so many threats that he would kill me or destroy my career but after my father’s conversation with me I gained so much strength that I stopped caring about anything. I did not even fear for my life. I had faced so many thing by then ki maut ka khauff he khatam hogaya tha. I felt kya Karoge maroge he na… chalo maar lo. My ex sent few boys with acid bottles in their hand and also tried to destroy my career.”  
She added, “I was chased by a few boys with acid bottles in their hand. They were running behind me. People who do drugs on streets, they were sent after me. I just pray to god that no female has to go through what I’ve suffered in my life.”
The 27-year-old revealed that nobody from the industry came forward to help her. “There were people who came to console me. But most of them judged me that I was like that and hence all this was happening to me. Nobody supported me. The entire industry was on one side and I was alone on the other. I had no work in hand. Everybody would throw me out of work without giving any reason. How I survived in Mumbai at that only I and my family knows,” she said.
Akshara shared that she used her own money and started making music as she was thrown out of whatever films she had signed. “But then there was time when music companies started ignoring and stopped taking my songs. They were pressurized to not take my songs. He was hellbent on making my life miserable, main isko jeene nahi doongi… kaise karegi ye kaam. She would either go back to her hometown or kill herself. He wanted that happened to me. So after being rejected from everywhere and with no work in hand. I decided to launch songs under my own label and company. I made up my mind that I will not give up and fight back. Aaj joh bhi chota mota naam hoon Woh sirf audience Yaa apne mom and Ashirwad se,” she said. 
With no work in hand, Akshara decided to launch songs under her own label and company. For the unversed, Akshara was dating Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh of the ‘Lagavelu Lipstick’ fame. She broke things off with him after he got married in March 2018. Not wanting their relationship to end, the singer had allegedly threatened to “not let her work in the industry,” Akshara claimed. 

The actress filed an FIR against Singh in 2019 and he was reportedly booked for defaming and posting ‘vulgar’ pictures and videos of actor Akshara Singh on the internet.
