Fans now waiting for Poonam Pandey strip

Ever since 19-year-old Gladrags and Kingfisher swimsuit calendar model Poonam Pandey (@ iPoonamPandey) made her famous bare it all if India lifts the World Cup offer, the Tweeterati and now whole web just cant seem to stop talking about her, however she is no where to be found after Team India went ahead and lifted the trophy.

The hashtag # poonampandey has reached trending topics on Twitter India and poonam pandey has become one of the most searched terms on Google India. Poonam even shows up at the top of the results when you search for “ the most downloaded model on the internet” on Google. Poonam's web-savvy personal branding extends to Twitter, where she keeps posting racy pictures on Twitpic to tickle he imagination of her rag- tag band of fans.

Poonam, of course, has picked a trick or two from Paraguayan model Larissa Riquelme, who had captured the worlds attention by promising to run naked if Paraguay won the FIFA World Cup. Even though her team lost in the quarter finals, Larissa went ahead and posed nude with the Paraguayan flag. Its a good thing that Poonam is not going as far as Dutch porn star Bobbi Eden (@ bobbieden), whod promised oral sex to every single one of her 30,000- plus Twitter followers if the Netherlands won the FIFA World Cup.

Reactions on Twitter range from comparisons with Draupadi and jokes that Ashish Nehra might save her modesty by single- handedly losing the match for India, to surprise that her parents support her quest and amusement that someone in Bhopal had filed a legal case against her for shaming the Brahmin community! Bollywood director Suparn Verma (@ suparn) joined the fun by claiming he had already shot a nude video with Poonam in anticipation of Indias win, but later clarified it was an All Fools Day joke. Joining the circus, PETA India (@ petaindia) has requested Poonam to strip for their ad to convince the ICC to stop using leather cricket balls. TV channel Zoom (@ zoom_ buzz) invited Poonam to do a live striptease on a TV show during the final.

Will Poonams momentary notoriety on Twitter lead to more permanent popularity? Well, although everyone seems to be talking about Poonam, only 3,500 Tweeterati are following her, so she wont really be able to leverage her fan base to build her career. Still, expect more swimsuit calendar shoots, some racy brand endorsements, a few Bollywood item numbers and even a TV reality show to result from her antics. And who knows, she may just be the next Rakhi Sawant in an industry yearning for a replacement.
