This though is not her first brush with anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare. In January this year, an exhibition was held in Delhi, which had a number of nude paintings of Vidya Balan, Veena Malik and Poonam Pandey. But due to the nature of the paintings, the artist, Pranava Prakash, was assaulted and many of the artwork ruined. One of the pictures damaged was that of Poonam Pandey in the nude, who was shown wearing a Gandhi cap and supporting Hazare.

Poonam was in the news recently for posting a nude picture of herself after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lifted the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy. The pictures became so popular that for a while she was trending not only in India but worldwide on Twitter.

The 20-year-old, who started off with the Gladrags mega model hunt in 2010, has also signed a film with Jism director Amit Saxena.
