A day after sharing photos of her baby bump, controversial actress Poonam Pandey revealed that she is not pregnant and that it was an April Fool's Day prank. On Wednesday (April 1), Poonam posted a video on his official Instagram account and addressed her followers.
In the clip, she is heard saying, "Guys, thank you so much for your lovely wishes. But I am not pregnant. Today is April Fool's Day. It was a prank. There is a war going on, the whole world is in the stress. I thought I would entertain you a little."

On Tuesday, Poonam grabbed attention online after sharing a couple of photos in which she appears to be flaunting a baby bump. She posted a string of emojis in the comments section, including babies, milk bottles, and a pregnant woman. In one of the images, she is seen smiling while posing with her apparent baby bump.
The sudden nature of the post has left many surprised, as there had been no prior indication or update from Poonam regarding a pregnancy. Adding to the confusion, she was spotted in Mumbai just a few weeks ago, where she did not appear to be pregnant. This has led several social media users to question the authenticity of the images.
Also, when she shared the same photos on X (formerly known as Twitter), a message below the post read, "Made with AI."

The reactions online were shaped by her past controversy. In February 2024, Poonam faced massive backlash after a post on her official social media handle claimed that she had passed away due to cervical cancer. However, a day later, she reappeared and revealed that the announcement was a marketing gimmick intended to raise awareness about cervical cancer and its vaccination.
Following the incident, Poonam had stated that her campaign succeeded in bringing attention to the issue, claiming that the term “cervical cancer” featured in over 500 news headlines in a single day and reached audiences globally.

However, the marriage ended soon after, following allegations of molestation, threats, and assault during their honeymoon in Goa. She was also hospitalised at the time after reportedly sustaining injuries to her head, eyes, and face.

The 33-year-old actress has since spoken about her views on relationships and remarriage. In an earlier interview, she said, “Main do saal se single hoon aur apni zindagi mein khush hoon. Personally, I feel I have been unlucky in that matter, but main bohot khush hoon. I have a beautiful family and a beautiful career. I am happy with it. I am open, but abhi bhi darr lagta hai - I have trust issues.”
