Where is Poonam Pandey?

In case you're wondering where model Poonam Pandey is now that we have won the World Cup, read on!

After going to the media with promises of streaking down the streets if and when the Men in Blue get the World Cup home, Poonam Pandey conveniently disappeared on Saturday. And even managed to switch off her cell phone.

Sources say the 20-year-old model was pestered by calls from people, either begging her to strip or threatening should she dare 'insult Indian culture'.

Pandey on Thursday had reiterated her promise to run in the buff if India brings the Cup back home.

Pandey tweeted: "3 days to go to Complete my Promise to INDIA :)", a few hours after India thrashed Pakistan by 29 runs in the semifinal held in Mohali, near Chandigarh.

Complying with a court order, an FIR was lodged against the Kingfisher model, on the charge of obscenity. She defended her case saying this would be her way of expressing support to Team India and that she wanted to go the 'extra mileage'. Freudian slip is it Poonam? After all the much-hyped stunt has just given her extra mileage without going the mile!
