Poonam Pandey (born 11 March 1991) is an Indian actress, film actress and erotic artist, known for her works in Bollywood and Telugu cinema.[2] She began her career as a model.[3] 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.[4][5]

Media spotlight

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.[6]

She rose to media spotlight when she promised to strip for the Indian cricket team if it won the 2011 Cricket World Cup.[7][8] 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).[9] However, she did upload a video on her mobile app, where she is seen stripping naked at the Wankhede Stadium at night.

In 2012, she posed nude after Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 5.[10]

She went on to have her own mobile application developed. She maintains this application with regular updates on her life, and also uses it as a platform to upload her explicit erotic content and nude videos.

Film career

In 2013, she was the female lead of the film Nasha, playing a teacher who ends up having a sexual relationship with one of her students. While Rediff stated that she excelled as a seductress in the role,[11] the Mumbai Mirror said she did "not play seductresses but a proper, responsible drama teacher" and that "Pandey makes an effort but isn't quite there".[12]

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.[13] The general secretary of Shiv Sena Chitrapat objected to Pandey's skin showing in the advertisements, saying, "We find the poster highly vulgar and derogatory and won't allow such hoardings."[14]

Pandey signed on to star in the planned sequel to Nasha as Anita.[15]
