Poonam Pandey manhandled on New Year's Eve in Bangalore


Poonam Pandey manhandled on New Year's Eve in Bangalore

Mumbai, Jan 8 (IANS): Controversial model Poonam Pandey, who recently made her Bollywood debut with bold film "Nasha", has vowed never to perform at a New Year's Eve celebration after her nightmarish experience in Bangalore while performing at a posh club.

"Never again! Never will I perform at a New Year's Eve celebration. It's much too dangerous," said Poonam.

She 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?"

Apparently, 10 minutes into her performance, the all-male crowd got wildly out of control.

"They were all male and they were all drunk. I had 15-20 of my own bouncers and the organisers had provided about a 100 guards. But it wasn't enough," says Poonam who first grabbed attention during the 2011 Cricket World Cup when she offered to go nude before Team India if they won.

As soon as her performance ended, hordes of rowdy male revelers broke the cordon separating the stage from the audience and tried to clamber on to the stage.

"I realised on that evening that no amount of bouncers and bodyguards can protect you from a drunken mob. The men, who jumped on to the stage, had only one thing on their mind. And they were not thinking with their minds. They were thinking with another part of the anatomy," she said.

Poonam did the only thing she could, given the dangerous circumstances. She fled.

"I've never run so fast in my life. I am sure I gave Milkha Singh a run for his money. I ran upstairs all the way to my room. But guess what? The mob chased me to my room! So there I was, running into my room with the mob in hot pursuit and the bodyguards and bouncers chasing them. It'd have been comic if it wasn't so scary," she said.

Not again, she says.

"Believe me, it is just not right. There are only men and they are all drunk. I'd advice all female celebrities to avoid dancing for New Year's celebrations. No amount of money is worth your izzat and your life. I've never been more scared in my life. Never again," she said.

    The men who paid for the show did not attain anything from the show. So they wanted to vent out their frustration on this lady. A lady ready to strip before a crowd is now crying rape, rape... How stupid. Only drunken men will chase you and no one in the real state of mind.

    These men had no business to chase and touch her. They only came there to watch the show and should have cooled down without crossing the limit. Her bodyguards luckily did not turn around and start chasing her. People are good at creating chaos and taking advantage, this needs to stop.

    I am shocked to see so many men behaving (with their words) just like those drunken men did. Just because a person appears naked in some other context is no excuse for assaulting her. Surely the men were not going there to compliment her. Even a prostitute cannot be assaulted, just because she is willing to sell her body. What you are all saying amounts to: men can use this excuse all the time by saying she is of low moral character, so they are justified in committing violence against her. In this model: Nudity deserves extreme violence. What an attitude!

    I agree what you said if she was not Poonam Pandey. She can make crazy Vishwamitra like Mr. Bhat who may forget his age and run behind her. When we can not forgive the men who rape and torture women, same way we can not sympathize with this Poonam who makes men crazy. Since these mad men can not get her they will attack innocence poor girls. Finally, the men are losers.

    You always had a wish to present yourself nude. I think on the New Year night that wish was granted by other means and you missed it. So at least learn to behave from your nonsense in future than feeling sorry.

    Dear daijiworld
    This is not a news which deserves such a limelight. People should log into twitter and follow poonam pandey her posts and pictures she posts everyday, then say what respect does she expects from that too drunk people dancing on new year nights while she performs a item number with revealing outfits. Did she expect people to do AARTHI for her ???.

    Think she was born in between....
    and hence seems to think that he possesses something different than the others! She has also discovered that men think with some other part or organ of their anatomy when they are sozzled.Read her quote please.The day she discovers that part or organ I am sure she will perform
    on all days including New Year's Eve....Nothing to gain breaking your 'Mandey'(kannada mandey)over this Pandey.....
