Actor-model
Poonam Pandey, who had filed a police complaint against Raj Kundra in 2019 for
alleged fraud and theft, has once again hit out at the businessman for
exploiting her. The businessman was arrested by the Mumbai crime branch on July
19 in a case related to the alleged creation of pornographic films and
publishing them through an app.

Poonam
has alleged that Kundra, husband of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, had
approached her for the HotShots app, the OTT app at the centre of the illegal
activity.

Poonam
had signed a deal with Kundra and his company Armsprime Media, which handled
The Poonam Pandey App. She had claimed in her complaint that the businessman
and his associates were minting money from her content months after their
contract ended.

“When
I signed an MOU with them, which lasted for a month, it became clear that they
were cheating and were extremely unprofessional. I terminated my contract with
immediate effect. Getting into a professional collaboration with these people
was the biggest mistake I made in my life. They are frauds. My life became an
open book. I went through another level of trauma. I cursed myself for sharing
my passwords and credentials with their team,” Poonam told ETimes.

“When
we reached out to Raj’s team, we were told that we won’t be paid until I signed
a contract with them and started working with them again. I flatly refused. In
fact, I wanted to terminate any and all association with Armsprime. I wanted
the app they had created in my name, taken off the internet. Shortly after, I
was approached by Raj Kundra personally to be a part of another app — by the
name of ‘HotShots’. It was 100 per cent pure blackmail. It was like — Do this
or suffer the consequences. On my refusal, my private mobile numbers were
leaked on the internet on the aforementioned app,” she alleged.

Pandey has worked in a couple of films and is often in news for her bold
photoshoots. She previously said that, she “was threatened and forced to sign a
contract which stated — I have to shoot, pose and look a certain way according
to their will or else, they’d leak all of my photos.”
