IPL's hottest host - Shibani Dandekar

Model, singer and television host Shibani Dandekar steps into her very large shoes. For the longest time we knew Shibani Dandekar as MTV VJ Anusha Dandekar's sister. Now, it seems like the hottie, who is one of the hosts of Extraa Innings during the DLF IPL 4 matches is all set to carve a niche for herself. Shibani has been making men on and off the field weak in their knees. Her smouldering hot looks haven't gone unnoticed in the fashion circles either. She has shot for the men's magazine GQ India in the past. Shibani enters a completely different league with IPL, replacing Mandira Bedi who is taking a break this season as she is set to deliver her baby. "I've done anchoring for many years, but this would be for the first time I'm taking up anchoring for a sports presentation and what could be better than IPL! I'm looking forward to travelling across the country." "After Mandira Bedi's successful stint, the stage opened for other women to join in. Yes, I will add glam to cricket, but that will not take away from our work. We want people to focus on our content delivery. The experts in the studio will give expert comments on cricket. We will be on ground to bring out the entertainment in cricket," says Shibani. Shibani is open for acting in films too. "Not now but, in the future if I come across some interesting film project, why not?," says the hot starlet.

Poonam's letter to BCCI seeking permission to strip

The Board of Governors/ Manager The BCCI Dear Sir, I write to you as a great fan of Cricket and above all a patriotic Indian. I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011 and am willing to go the extra mile to do anything so that India wins the World Cup. I am a model and actress and have decided to do what I can for India !! I have already expressed my desire to further motivate the Indian Cricket team to perform better and lift the World Cup. I am ready and willing at any place and time of the Indian teams choosing to go in the nude to boost their sporting spirit to perform better. This I say seriously, as there are many studies conducted by various Universities abroad which confirms and infers that such performances/expectations boost and inspire people to perform better in any field, be it sports or otherwise. Even medical books on psychology and psychiatry confirms this. You will appreciate that India has been longing for a World Cup ever since. Cricket today is a religion in India. Should India lose the World Cup it would demoralize  hundreds of crores of Indians and people may react violently in some places too. It is therefore my humble request to you to allow me to perform  in the privacy of the  Indian Cricket teams Dressing room or any other place of your choosing. (YOU MAY ALSO CHOOSE A FOREIGN LAND  LIKE  PARIS IN FRANCE, SO THAT THE LAWS OF INDIA - IF A HINDRANCE, SHALL NOT APPLY) This shall be a private therapeutic performance - with a psychologist's presence and hence cannot be an offence under any law for the time being in force if the team members have no objection and the BCCI gives the go ahead. Only appearing in the nude in Public is an offence but in private with consenting adults for a purpose  therapeutic  is no offence. Even a contract for the same can be drawn up and should not be in violation of the Indian Contract Act as it is not opposed to public policy or morality. Besides the BCCI is not a Government body  and can enter in to such a contract. Should such a contract be needed to be drawn you can approach my lawyer,  Advocate  Prashant Uchil on             022-32639020       to discuss modalities and the same shall be signed by me without any hesitation to protect the institution (BCCI) and indemnify it. Looking forward to your assistance to make Team India win the World Cup 2011 !! Warm Regards, Poonam Pandey.

Where is Poonam Pandey?

Now that India has won the ICC World Cup 2011, netizens are keen to know where is model Poonam Pandey and if she would actually run naked as promised. The Kingfisher model earlier said this would be her way of expressing support to Team India. The ace model did state that she will go and strip in front of team India in their dressing room after they lift the World cup."I am a New Generaion Girl!!! Any thing for my Country to get Home the World Cup So INDIA Cheer with me That we need 1983 BACK...," tweeted Poonam. However, Poonam Pandey switched off her cellphone on Saturday when India won the World Cup. Sources say the 20-year-old model was being inundated with calls from people either begging her to strip for them or threatening her with dire consequences should she dare go against Indian culture. On Friday, Pandey issued a letter to the BCCI about her plans: "I write to you as a great fan of cricket and above all a patriotic Indian. I want India to win the Cricket World Cup 2011, and I am willing to go the extra mileage. Going nude in private with consenting adults for a therapeutic purpose" is not an offence, and said that a contract for the same could be drawn up as the BCCI is not a government body. She suggested that the BCCI choose another country such as Paris for her striptease to avoid controversy. "I am serious about it as many studies conducted by various universities abroad confirm such performances boost and inspire people to perform better in any field, be it sports or otherwise,'' adds Poonam. Complying with a court order, an FIR was lodged against model Poonam Pandey, who had reportedly said she would bare all if India win the World Cup cricket final, on the charge of obscenity. The FIR was registered against the model at Balrampur Dehat police station after Chief Judicial Magistrate Subhash Chandra issued an order to this effect, taking suo motu cognizance of media reports about her announcement, police sources said.

Nude scenes on Doordarshan

Normally Doordarshan is a distant channel for urban folks. When we have everything in stylish look from commercial oriented private channels, there is definitely no importance for DD. But, World Cup makes most of the rural population tuned on one and only to DD as ESPN/Star Sports is not in their reach. Amidst all the tensions for Indians on team's performance at today's semifinals with Pakistan, here is one model Poonam Pandey ready to go nude if Indian team wins against the Pakistani team and then lift the World Cup. This sexy model is a diehard fan of Indian cricket team admits that her nudity would cheer the team and to keep up their spirits. As entire team is filled with young blood, Poonam's support may matter more to the Indian team. Even this hot damsel trying for free publicity expressed her wish to contact Indian team and strip for them in the dressing room or won't even mind to strip in front of the whole stadium, with permission from BCCI. Wait for few more hours and for the first time we might get a glance of nudity of hot Pooja Pandey on DD!
