The controversy queen who loves to be in limelight had a horrendous experience in Bangalore while performing at a posh club.
The actress in an interview to a national daily describes the incident as her most serious confrontation with male aggression. “I agreed to perform in Bangalore because the money was too tempting. They offered me a bomb. How was I to know what the evening had in store for me?”
They were all male and they were all drunk. I had 15-20 of my own bouncers and the organizers had provided about 100 guards. As soon as her performance ended, hordes of rowdy male revellers broke the cordon separating the stage from the audience and tried to clamber on to the stage.
Poonam ran upstairs to her room but the mob chased her to her room. Recalling the incident Poonam advised all female celebrities to avoid dancing for New Year’s celebrations.
Poonam, grabbed attention during the 2011 Cricket World Cup when she offered to go nude before Team India if they won.
