Poonam Pandey Breaks Down Over Relentless Trolling, Industry Struggles; Says, “Gaali Mat Do Yaar”- Watch

Poonam Pandey has addressed the constant trolling and criticism she faces on social media. In an emotional video shared on Instagram, the actress-model spoke about her struggles in the entertainment industry and urged people to stop judging her without knowing her full story. She also reflected on the challenges of finding work despite spending more than a decade in the public eye.

Sharing her feelings with followers, Poonam Pandey admitted that the negativity often affects her deeply. She said, “I was feeling a little emotional, socha aap se ek choti si request kar lu… I can’t take so much. Main bhi insaan hoon; main iss industry mein 14 saal pehle aayi thi, kaam maangne aayi thi, kaam dhund rahi thi. Tabhi bhi dhund rahi thi, aaj bhi dhund rahi hoon. I still push myself ki mein aisa kya karu ki log mujhe notice karein aur kaam de. Theatre karti hoon.”

She further appealed to social media users to show empathy before passing judgment. Poonam added, “I am pushing myself jitna mera limit bann sake. Just stop judging; agar aapko meri backstory nahi pata hai, at least gaali mat do yaar. Meine kabhi kisi ko gaali di nahi hai, mujhe gaali mat dijiye. Mein aap se request karti hoon…”

Over the years, Poonam Pandey has frequently remained in the spotlight because of her unconventional public image and social media presence. Earlier this year, Poonam also sparked controversy after posting photographs with what appeared to be a baby bump. She later revealed that the pictures were part of an April Fool’s prank. The incident attracted significant backlash, with many social media users accusing her of making light of pregnancy.

Poonam Pandey’s ‘De*th’ Controversy

However, one of the biggest controversies associated with Poonam remains the 2024 cervical cancer awareness campaign. On February 1, 2024, a statement posted on her official Instagram account claimed that she had died due to cervical cancer. The following day, Poonam revealed that she was alive and said the campaign aimed to spread awareness about the disease. The stunt triggered widespread criticism and sparked debates about the ethics of using fake death announcements for public awareness campaigns.

Despite the controversies, Poonam’s latest video presents a more personal side of her journey. Through her message, she emphasised that behind the headlines, online criticism, and public perception is a person still trying to build a career and navigate life’s challenges.
