Bollywood actor and social media influencer Poonam Pandey, who is well known for bold nature in the entertainment industry, has caused quite a few controversies in cricket as well, with various episodes. 

Pandey, known for her vivacious personality and her bold stances, also made a significant mark with her affection and comments towards cricket, especially towards Indian cricket stalwart, Virat Kohli.

Poonam Pandey was a huge Virat kohli fan

Poonam Pandey first grabbed headlines in 2011 with a daring declaration related to India's performance in the ICC World Cup. Her promise to strip if India won the tournament was a controversial publicity stunt that sparked widespread media coverage. Though the aftermath of India's victory did not see her fulfilling the promise, it linked Pandey's name with the cricketing world in a manner that few other entertainers have managed.

Her affinity for cricket did not just stop at stunts. In 2016, during the Indian Premier League (IPL), Pandey's admiration for Virat Kohli was highlighted in a memorable interaction. At that time, Kohli was showcasing an extraordinary performance, leading the tournament's run-scoring chart with 919 runs in 15 matches and nearing a historic milestone of 1,000 runs in a single IPL season.

Asked about Kohli, Pandey didn't hold back her admiration. "Who doesn’t like Virat Kohli. I love him with all my heart,” she said, a feeling that resonated with many fans and further cemented her association with the sport.

Meanwhile, beyond her controversial statements and actions, Pandey has a career that spanned various facets of entertainment. She made her Bollywood debut in the film 'Nasha' in 2013, but it was her participation in the reality show 'Lock Upp' in 2022 that showcased her multifaceted personality to a broader audience. 

Despite her controversies, Pandey was also known for her engaging presence on social media, sharing moments from her life that ranged from the glamorous to the profoundly personal.
