Bollywood actress and social media personality Poonam Pandey is known more for controversies and bold statements than her film career.
Poonam Pandey first grabbed national attention when she claimed she would do a nude photoshoot if India won the Cricket World Cup.
Her bold statement quickly went viral, making her an overnight internet sensation and widely discussed on social media.
She entered Bollywood with the film Nasha, where her bold role created buzz, but the movie did not achieve major box office success.
Despite limited success in films, Poonam continued gaining attention through social media posts and controversial remarks.
She shocked the nation when news of her death due to cervical cancer was posted on her social media accounts.
A day later, Poonam Pandey appeared online and said it was part of a campaign to raise awareness about cervical cancer, which also led to heavy trolling.
