Pandey became infamous in 2011 for pledging to pose nude if the Indian cricket team triumphed in the ICC Cricket World Cup that year. Despite India’s victory, Pandey didn’t carry out her pledge, citing public disapproval and denial of permission from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Her last social media post was three days back featuring herself enjoying a party in Goa.
