For the unversed, back in January 2019, Poonam Pandey was embroiled in a major controversy with husband Sam Bombay, when an adult video of the two surfaced online, as reported by DNA. The viral video was deleted by Poonam a few hours later. While some speculated that the video was accidentally posted, others called it a deliberate publicity stunt to gain attention. However, Poonam cleared the air posting another video, in which she said that the video was a ‘stupid’ prank played by her female friend. Poonam further said that before she could delete the clip, the video had already gone viral.
