Poonam Pandey is ready to go nude

She may or may not get to strip for the Men in Blue, but young model Poonam Pandey has sure got a lot of media attention as well as lucrative offers from international magazines that want her to pose naked.

The aspiring actress, who has grabbed headlines for stating that she will bare all if Team India wins the World Cup, has been flooded with offers from foreign glossies. But she has rejected them saying she will strip only for the Indian team.

"So far she is flooded with many offers from India and world wide. Right from Indian reality shows to international magazines.

More than that, she got a huge half million dollar offer from an international magazine to pose nude for their cover, but she rejected it as the act to go nude was only meant for team India to get home the World Cup and not to make fame and money. She is on cloud nine as India won the cup, " said Poonam's manager Vipin M.

The 19-year-old was one of the top eight contestants of Gladrags' model hunt contest last year.

According to Vipin, the model has been getting threatening calls from moral police and she is avoiding taking calls or talking to anybody in person unless she gets an approval from BCCI.

Poonam made her controversial offer on Twitter just before the semifinal in Mohali.

But later she made a statement saying she would only do so if BCCI permits. On Friday she sent an official letter to the board, saying going naked for the team would have a "therapeutic" effect on Team India and help them win.

In the letter, she wrote: "..I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011 and am willing to go the extra mile to do anything so that India wins the World Cup. I am ready and willing at any place and time of the Indian teams choosing to go in the nude to boost their sporting spirit to perform better.

She also cited "many studies conducted by various universities abroad which confirms and infers that such performances/expectations boost and inspire people to perform better in any field, be it sports or otherwise. Even medical books on psychology and psychiatry confirms this".

The model made a "humble request" to be allowed to "perform in the privacy of the Indian cricket team's dressing room or any other place of your choosing". She suggested "a foreign land like Paris in France, so that the Laws of India - if a hindrance, shall not apply".

It would act like a "private therapeutic performance with a psychologist's presence" and "cannot be an offence under any law for the time being in force if the team members have no objection and the BCCI gives the go ahead".

Here's the full text of Poonam Pandey's exclusive letter to BCCI requesting permission

The Board of Governors/ Manager
The BCCI
Dear Sir,


I write to you as a great fan of Cricket and above all a patriotic Indian.
I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011 and am willing to go the extra mile to do anything so that India wins the World Cup. I am a model and actress and have decided to do what I can for India !!
I have already expressed my desire to further motivate the Indian Cricket team to perform better and lift the World Cup.


I am ready and willing at any place and time of the Indian teams choosing to go in the nude to boost their sporting spirit to perform better.


This I say seriously, as there are many studies conducted by various Universities abroad which confirms and infers that such performances/expectations boost and inspire people to perform better in any field, be it sports or otherwise. Even medical books on psychology and psychiatry confirms this.


You will appreciate that India has been longing for a World Cup ever since.


Cricket today is a religion in India. Should India lose the World Cup it would demoralize hundreds of crores of Indians and people may react violently in some places too.


It is therefore my humble request to you to allow me to perform in the privacy of the Indian Cricket teams Dressing room or any other place of your choosing. (YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE A FOREIGN LAND LIKE PARIS IN FRANCE ,SO THAT THE LAWS OF INDIA -IF A HINDRANCE , SHALL NOT APPLY)


This shall be a private therapeutic performance –with a psychologist’s presence and hence cannot be an offence under any law for the time being in force if the team members have no objection and the BCCI gives the go ahead.


Only appearing in the nude in Public is an offence but in private with consenting adults for a purpose therapeutic is no offence. Even a contract for the same can be drawn up and should not be in violation of the Indian Contract Act as it is not opposed to public policy or morality. Besides the BCCI is not a Government body and can enter in to such a contract.

Should such a contract be needed to be drawn you can approach my lawyer , Advocate Prashant Uchil on 022-32639020 to discuss modalities and the same shall be signed by me without any hesitation to protect the institution (BCCI) and indemnify it .


Looking forward to your assistance to make Team India win the World Cup 2011 !!


Warm Regards,
Poonam Pandey
