Poonam Pandey: Created controversies to get noticed

Model-actress Poonam Pandey is frequently in the news, which primarily can be credited to her controversial social media uploads. She is not the one to shy away from flaunting her physical possessions publicly. Love her or hate her, you can’t ignore how she steals the thunder! However, Poonam recently confessed that she consciously created controversies to bring the limelight on herself.

“I was sitting with my journalist friends and we were discussing about doing something really big. I had done some 25-30 calendar shoots. All were big enough, but that recognition was missing. Then I saw there were so many girls in this industry who had worked with the Khans and the Kapoors, but people still did not recognise them as they know only Khans and Kapoors,” the ‘Nasha’ actress told a news agency.

During the ICC World T20 Tournament 2016, India won a very crucial match against Australia, thanks to Virat Kohli’s fantabulous strikes. An elated Poonam took to Twitter and posted a snap flaunting her cleavage, calling it a ‘gift’ from her side to the men in blue. And this is not her only antic.

“In such a scenario, it’s very difficult to get your own identity, especially if you come from nowhere. Hence, to get that identity and recognition, I thought only controversy could help,” Poonam says.

So much for fame!
