On Tuesday, Poonam Pandey shared two photos on Instagram, appearing to reveal a baby bump. In one image, she lifted her T-shirt slightly, while in another, she posed to highlight her midsection.

Given the timing and Poonam’s history of headline-grabbing moves, many users believe this could be another attempt to generate buzz. Social media reactions have been largely critical, with users expressing disappointment and accusing her of misleading the audience. This isn’t the first time Poonam Pandey has stirred controversy. In February 2024, her team falsely announced her death due to cervical cancer on her official Instagram account.

A day later, she revealed it was a staged publicity stunt aimed at raising awareness about the disease, an act that drew widespread backlash. Poonam Pandey first rose to fame through her bold social media presence and grabbed massive attention during the 2011 Cricket World Cup when she promised to strip if India won. She later launched The Pandey App in 2017, offering exclusive content, and has consistently remained in the limelight for her unconventional moves.

In 2020, she married Sam Ahmed Bombay in a private ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their relationship soon turned turbulent. Poonam filed a complaint against him alleging assault, molestation, and criminal intimidation, following which he was arrested in Goa. The couple eventually separated, with Poonam later describing the relationship as traumatic and seeking divorce.
