According to reports from Indian media, the actress was engaged in an interview with a private publication when a fan approached her, asking for a selfie.

While Poonam initially consented, she was taken aback by the fan’s unexpected actions, which were captured on camera. The footage showed the actress visibly distressed.

In response, Poonam quickly pushed the fan away, creating distance between them. The video has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many condemning the fan’s conduct.

But some social media users have speculated that the incident might have been a publicity stunt devised by the actress. Meanwhile, the fan’s behaviour drew criticism from witnesses present at the scene.
