Pooja is one of the controversial celebrities in India. Her name has caused a lot of controversies, some of which are as follows:
- In 2009, she filed a police complaint against hotel owner Timmy Narang, husband of Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar. In her complaint, she said that Timmy had been harassing her since she rejected his advances in 2006. She also said,
Timi’s sister Ramona and Shatrughan Sinha’s wife Poonam installed spyware on her phone and sent people to destroy her car.”
- In 2015, she filed a complaint against some unidentified persons, accusing them of sexually harassing her during a calendar shoot in Udaipur. In the complaint, she said:
After dinner at the hotel, they gave me a drink, and after I drank it, I went back to my room and fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I felt harassed and sexually assaulted. ”
- In February 2016, she filed a defamation lawsuit against Bollywood actress Sunny Leone in the Bombay High Court, seeking Rs 100 crore in damages. Later, the Bombay High Court adjourned her case. Pooja said in her complaint:
Sunny tried to overshadow me on the reality show Bigg Boss, tried to defame my name in interviews and along with her husband Daniel Weber tried to sabotage my work.”
- In 2016, she again filed a complaint against three cameramen, accusing them of getting her drunk and raping her in Jaipur during her shoot for a TV show.
- Due to her misbehaviour, she was banned from entering the family apartment at Windsor Towers in Lokhandwala in 2016. A member of the association said,
We have been instructed not to let her enter the compound. Her parents have shifted to Pune and the apartment is mostly kept locked. Her brother comes here but she is not allowed.” The association has submitted a letter to the Oshiwara police in this regard.
- She accused famous Bollywood actor Salman Khan and his brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan of harassing her and shared her #MeToo movement in 2018. In her Instagram video, she said,
Salman Khan, Arbaaz and Sohail raped me multiple times. Shatrughan Sinha hacked into my phone and laptop to steal ideas to boost Sonakshi Sinha and Malaika Arora Khan’s careers, Shatrughan Sinha performed black magic on me.”
- In May 2022, she accused actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha of involving her in a “sex scam” and said that he sold her virginity to build the career of his daughter Sonakshi Sinha. In her allegations, she also said that his family members performed black magic on her. Later, Shatrughan Sinha’s son Luv Sinha refuted Pooja Mishra’s claims and said,
That woman needs professional help. To make such accusations against my family proves she is mentally unstable. I normally don’t waste my time responding to this kind of garbage posted online, but I think this editor is irresponsible.”
