The buzz started when Poonam Pandey posted pictures showing what looked like a baby bump. She used emojis like babies, milk bottles, and a pregnant woman, which made the post look real.
In one of the images, she was seen smiling while posing with the bump. However, many fans were confused because she had not shared any news about a pregnancy before this.
Some users also pointed out that she was spotted in Mumbai recently and did not look pregnant. Later, when she shared the same images on X, it showed a note that they were “Made with AI,” which confirmed that the photo was fake.
This is not the first time she has created such buzz online. In February 2024, she shocked everyone with a post claiming she had died due to cervical cancer. A day later, she revealed it was a campaign to spread awareness about the disease.
