Poonam Pandey (born 11 March 1991) is an Indian film actress known for her works in Bollywood and Telugu cinema. She began her career as a model. She became one of the top nine contestants of the Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest and appeared on the cover page of the fashion magazine.
Pandey became popular through her social media accounts, including Twitter when she started posting her semi-nude photos. She has received a lot of coverage over explicit pictures of herself that she has posted.
She rose to media spotlight when she promised to strip for the Indian cricket team if it won the 2011 Cricket World Cup. India indeed lifted the World Cup; however, Pandey did not fulfill her promise due to public disapproval, but later claimed she was denied permission by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). However, she did upload a video on her mobile app, where she is seen stripping naked at the Wankhede Stadium at night.
