<p>For the caption, she just dropped a pregnant lady, a milk bottle and baby emojis.</p>
<p>However, sources close to IANS have shared that it could be an April Fool&rsquo;s prank.</p>
<p>Netizens too don&rsquo;t seem to be convinced with the stunt as many claimed it is "<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sunday-mid-day/article/use-these-three-ai-tools-to-make-your-life-simpler-by-using-artificial-intelligence-23623132" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">AI</a></strong>". This is because in 2024 her team claimed she died from cervical cancer via her official Instagram account on February 1, 2024.</p>
<p>The following day, February 2, 2024, Poonam said it was a publicity stunt, done for a "good cause" aimed at raising awareness about the disease, which stirred significant controversy.</p>
<p>Poonam gained the spotlight through her social media accounts, including Twitter, when she started posting her semi-nude photos. She rose to the media's spotlight when she promised to strip for the India national cricket team if it won the 2011 Cricket World Cup.</p>
<p>In 2017, Poonam Pandey launched a mobile application named the Pandey App, which featured adult-oriented content.</p>
<p>She was married her long-term boyfriend <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/model-poonam-pandey-booked-for-violating-lockdown-norms-22777220" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Sam Ahmed</a></strong> Bombay in 2020. The wedding had to be private because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She later filed a complaint against him, claiming he had molested, threatened and assaulted her.</p>
<p>He was arrested in Goa. The incident happened in Canacona village in south Goa where Poonam was shooting for a movie. They separated shortly after. She reportedly described the four-year association as traumatic, leading to hospitalization, and subsequently pursued a divorce, citing extreme physical abuse.</p>
<p>Poonam was last seen in <em><strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/web-series/article/kangana-ranaut-shares-her-first-look-from-the-reality-show-lock-upp-23213714" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Lock Upp: Badass Jail</a></strong></em><strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/web-series/article/kangana-ranaut-shares-her-first-look-from-the-reality-show-lock-upp-23213714" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">, <em>Atyaachari Khel!</em></a></strong> hosted by Kangana Ranaut, where Munawar Faruqui emerged as the winner.</p>
