Poonam Pandey Says Baby-Bump Post Was April Fool’s Prank

The reveal underscores long-running doubts about her tactics, including a 2024 fake‑death stunt.

Overview

  • Pandey shared photos that looked like a pregnancy reveal on Tuesday, March 31, using only baby-themed emojis as a caption on Instagram.
  • She confirmed on Wednesday in a new Instagram video that she is not pregnant, calling the post a prank meant to entertain people during a time of global stress.
  • The same images on X carried a “Made with AI” label, which led many users to question the pictures’ authenticity before the reveal.
  • Public reaction ranged from quick congratulations to skepticism, with many citing her widely criticized 2024 hoax that falsely claimed she had died of cervical cancer.
  • Her announcements draw extra scrutiny because of a history of headline-chasing moves, including a 2011 strip promise, a 2017 adult-content app launch, and past assault allegations against her then husband.
