Artistry and criticism
editOne of the reasons of Yadav's popularity and stardom is due to his Lavanda Naach performances.[62] Even before his film debut, he was popular for his performances as Launda. Since Launda Naach is seen as taboo by the upper caste and undermines the performer's masculinity, Yadav was mocked for his performances and his masculinity was frequently questioned.[62][63] Kumar, sees his popularity form Launda Naach as a rebellion against the tag of universal disdain for the performer among the upper caste. Kumar, further mentions an interview of a Brahmin Classical music teacher from Buxar, who lauded Manoj Tiwari and Pawan Singh, but on the mention of Yadav, He said "what is he, he is mere a launda". Yadav takes very bold position on this matter however, in an interview to Jogira in 2013 he said:[62]
I am still doing shows. If I must leave films for them, I will. I belong in the middle of the people. I sing to make them dance. I entertain them. Whatever I am, it is because of them. I cannot even think of being away from them The audience wants to see me in the real look even on the screen. I have also impersonated women in fifteen of my films, and all of them have been hits. I do not like becoming an officer or a rich man. I am not comfortable that way
Kumar sees his popularity as, a pre-eminent force that shapes other competing masculinities of Bhojpuri order. According to him, Yadav surpasses his peers only by re-constituting the gender stereotypes, and this appearing as the pre-eminent rebellious figure.[62]
