Poonam Pandey is an Indian model and film actress, known for her works in bollywood, and Telugu cinema.[2][3][4][5] She began her career as a model.[6] She became one of the Top nine contestants of Gladrags - 2010, and appeared on the cover page of the fashion magazine.[7][8] She shot for 29 calendars for the year 2011, including the Gladrags Calendar. She was featured in Kingfisher Calendar 2012.[9]

Media spotlight

She rose to media spotlight when she promised to strip for the Indian cricket team if it won the Cricket World Cup in 2011.[10][11] India indeed lifted the World Cup; however, Poonam couldn't fulfill her promise as she was denied permission by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI).[12] In 2012, she posed naked after Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 5.[13] Pandey has received a lot of coverage over explicit pictures of herself that she has posted on her Twitter account.[14] She was reported to have performed at a New Year's Eve bash in Hyderabad in 2014.[15]

Film career

In 2013, she was the female lead of the film Nasha, a teacher who ends up having a sexual relationship with one of her students. While Rediff stated that she "excels as a seductress" in the role,[16] the Mumbai Mirror stated she "does not play seductresses but a proper, responsible drama teacher" and that "Pandey makes an effort but isn't quite there".[17]

The posters for the film, which featured her "clad in nothing, but two placards tactfully placed to cover her body", angered people and a group of protestors tore the posters and set them on fire on 20 July 2013 in Mumbai.[18] The general secretary of Shiv Sena Chitrapat has objected to Pandey's skin showing in the advertisements, saying, "We find the poster highly vulgar and derogatory and won't allow such hoardings."[19] In March, 2014, she has signed a film which will be directed by Sameer Sharma.[20] She has signed to star in the planned sequel, Nasha as Anita.[21]
