Bollywood actress and model Poonam Pandey recently shared a video on Instagram clarifying her viral baby bump photos. She revealed that the pictures were part of an April Fool’s prank and not a real pregnancy announcement.
Addressing her fans directly, Poonam said she is not pregnant and asked people not to take her seriously. She added that the post was meant purely for entertainment during tense global times.
The controversy started on March 31, 2026, when she posted images showing a visible baby bump. The caption included pregnancy related emojis, which quickly led to widespread speculation online.
While some fans congratulated her, others doubted the authenticity of the images. Many suspected the bump could be AI generated, a prosthetic, or linked to her upcoming project Black Widow.
A section of netizens, familiar with her past actions, quickly guessed it was an April Fool’s prank. Poonam has often used such tactics to stay in the spotlight and spark discussions.
She is known for headline grabbing stunts, including faking her own death in 2024. That move was later explained as a campaign to raise awareness about cervical cancer.
That incident had attracted heavy criticism, with many fans calling it insensitive. The backlash continued until she clarified that it was a staged awareness effort.
These repeated stunts have built her image as someone who thrives on publicity driven surprises. The latest prank once again shows her ability to dominate social media conversations.
