Mumbai, Feb 23 (NationPress) Poonam Pandey has recently garnered attention after a video surfaced online showing a fan attempting to kiss her. While she was posing for photographers, a fan approached from behind, asking for a selfie, and then made a forceful attempt to kiss her during the photo.
This incident has sparked accusations of being a publicity stunt. Producer and actor Sandiip Sikcand expressed his opinion on the matter, stating, “I suspect this was yet another fabricated publicity effort. This crosses a line. I really wonder what one aims to achieve following the earlier death hoax! It’s certainly not acceptable!”
Pandey had previously stirred controversy with false reports of her death, claiming it was due to cervical cancer. However, it was later disclosed that it was a staged event intended to promote awareness about this disease, which led to significant backlash against her.
On February 2, an Instagram post suggested that Poonam Pandey had succumbed to cervical cancer, but she later clarified with another post, saying, “I must share something important with you all - I am here, alive. Cervical cancer did not take me.”
Amidst ongoing controversies, Poonam Pandey recently sought spiritual solace at the Maha Kumbh. She joined millions of worshippers at this grand religious assembly and shared her experiences via social media.
Describing her experience, she commented on Instagram, “Mahakumbh… Experiencing life intimately, where a 70-year-old walks barefoot for hours, where faith knows no bounds. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives; may they attain moksha. The devotion here has left me in awe… #mahakumbh.”
Poonam Pandey participated in the Amrit Snan during the Maha Kumbh celebrations, dressed in a black-and-white kurta adorned with ‘Om’ and ‘Jai Mahakal’ inscriptions.
