Poonam Pandey recently broke down as she spoke openly about the relentless hate and judgment she has been receiving on social media. In a deeply moving interaction, the actress-model confessed that even after more than 14 years in the entertainment business, the struggle to find work and make her mark continues to weigh heavily on her. She also reached out to netizens with an emotional appeal, urging them to hold back the trolling and abuse and get to know her story before passing judgment.
Poonam Pandey pleads to fans: 'Mein bhi insaan hoon'
Taking to her Instagram, Poonam said, "I was feeling a little emotional, socha aap se ek choti si request kar lu... I can't take so much. Mein bhi insaan hoon; mein 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 said, "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..."
Poonam Pandey's troubled marriage and difficult personal life
On the personal front, Poonam had tied the knot with 'Sam Bombay' in 2020, but the marriage was short-lived and ended on a deeply troubling note. The union came to an abrupt end following serious allegations of molestation, threats and assault that she claimed took place during their honeymoon in Goa.
