When it comes to shocking the internet, Poonam Pandey clearly knows the drill. And this time, she picked the perfect date: April 1. It started as a sudden “baby bump reveal” and quickly turned into a classic April Fool’s twist.
On March 31, Poonam took to Instagram and dropped photos showing herself with a visible baby bump. She rolled up her T-shirt and posed confidently, adding emojis of a pregnant woman, a milk bottle, and a baby.
The internet reacted instantly. Congratulations started pouring in. Some fans celebrated, others questioned, and many simply waited for the next twist, because with Poonam, there is always one.
“Guys, I’m not pregnant”: The reveal
On April 1, Poonam finally addressed the buzz with a video. She thanked everyone for their wishes but then dropped the punchline: she is not pregnant.
She explained that it was all meant as a prank. According to her, the world is already full of stress and conflict, and she wanted to entertain people. She also joked about her reputation for surprising everyone, saying it’s her “right” to shock the audience and that people should not take life too seriously.
Not her first controversial publicity move
This is not the first time Poonam has stirred massive attention with a shocking announcement. In February 2024, her official Instagram account posted that she had died from cervical cancer.
The very next day, she appeared in a video revealing she was alive and said the stunt was done to raise awareness about cervical cancer.
Poonam first gained public attention through bold posts on social media platforms like Twitter (X). Her popularity skyrocketed when she promised to strip for Indian cricket team if they won the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
In 2017, she expanded her digital presence by launching the Pandey App, a mobile application that featured adult-oriented content.
