If you thought Binod from Panchayat was just a lovable side character, think again! Ashok Pathak, who shot to fame as the sweet, innocent Binod, is now turning heads far beyond Phulera. After the roaring success of Panchayat Season 4, Pathak’s phone hasn’t stopped buzzing — and not just for acting offers. The internet is drowning in Binod reels, emotional fan edits, and sky-high praise for his heart-touching portrayal.
And here’s where it gets even spicier — did you know Binod has a Bhojpuri chartbuster up his sleeve?
Yes, you read that right! Ashok Pathak has shared screen space with none other than Kajal Raghwani, the Bhojpuri diva herself, in a sizzling music video titled “SuGa”. The song, a melodic cocktail of catchy beats and village vibes, premiered on the Kashish Music Bhojpuri YouTube channel. It’s sung soulfully by Alok Kumar, with music and lyrics by Abhishek Thakur, and directed by Akshay K. Agrawal. Released on February 21, 2025, the video is slowly picking up steam with over 100K views and 24K likes — and fans are here for it!

While the world is still drooling over Binod’s emotional arc, Ashok himself seems overwhelmed. Sitting in his vanity van, in the middle of a hectic shoot, he confesses getting teary-eyed watching the love pour in. “My makeup artist is having a tough time,” he jokes, “because I keep welling up reading fan messages.”
Let’s face it — Binod isn’t just a character anymore, he’s a feeling.
But Ashok isn’t a one-hit wonder. With over 14 films and web series under his belt and several in the pipeline, he’s been slowly and steadily crafting his journey from the sidelines to centerstage. Fans can’t wait to see where he pops up next — could Bollywood be calling?
Now, coming back to the “SuGa” magic — the real treat here is Kajal Raghwani, who adds her signature flair to the video. Known as one of the most bankable names in Bhojpuri cinema, Kajal has worked in over 50 films, and her stardom is only climbing. Rumor has it, she’s among the highest-paid actresses in the industry — and rightfully so! Born on July 20, 1990, Kajal has built an empire on grit, grace, and good ol’ masala.
Together, Kajal and Ashok bring a raw, earthy charm to the screen — a combo fans didn’t know they needed. Their chemistry in SuGa is a total paisa vasool experience.
So if you’ve only seen Binod in kurta-pajama mode, it’s time to check out his desi swag in this musical avatar. Who knew behind that shy smile was a full-on Bhojpuri star waiting to break out?
This crossover from OTT emotion to regional rhythm? Pure Bollywood-style dhamaka.
Watch out — Binod’s just getting started!
