Was watching movies: Poonam Pandey denies reports of her arrest
Model and actor Poonam Pandey has denied reports of her arrest. A day after reports stated that Poonam was booked by Mumbai Police on Sunday night for violating the coronavirus-induced lockdown, the actor (29) released a video, claiming that she was, in fact, busy watching movies at that time. Poonam added she has no idea as to why such reports emerged in the media.
Poonam said she had a 'movie marathon' on Sunday
In an Instagram video posted on Monday, Poonam said, "Hey guys, I had a movie marathon last night. I watched three movies back-to-back, it was fun." "I've been getting calls since last night that I am arrested and I am seeing that in the news as well. Guys, please don't write that about me. I am home and I am perfectly fine," she added.
