MUMBAI: Poonam Pandey , who recently made her Bollywood debut with ‘Nasha’, has vowed never to perform at a New Year 's Eve celebration after her nightmarish experience in Bangalore while performing at a posh club.

“Never again! Never will I perform at a New Year's Eve celebration. It’s much too dangerous,” said Poonam.

She describes the incident as her most serious confrontation with male aggression. “I agreed to perform in Bangalore because the money was too tempting. They offered me a bomb. How was I to know what the evening had in store for me?”

Apparently, 10 minutes into her performance, the all-male crowd got wildly out of control at the club, located on Anjanapura Main Road, off Kanakapura Road, South Bangalore. The jurisdictional Talghattapura police said they have not received any complaint in this regard.

“They were all male and they were all drunk. I had 15-20 of my own bouncers and the organizers had provided about 100 guards. But it wasn't enough,” says Poonam, who first grabbed attention during the 2011 Cricket World Cup when she offered to go nude before Team India if they won.

As soon as her performance ended, hordes of rowdy male revellers broke the cordon separating the stage from the audience and tried to clamber on to the stage.

“I realized on that evening that bouncers and bodyguards cannot protect you from a drunken mob. The men, who jumped on to the stage, had only one thing on their minds. And they were not thinking with their minds. They were thinking with another part of the anatomy,” she said.

Poonam did the only thing she could, given the dangerous circumstances. She fled.

“I've never run so fast in my life. I’m sure I gave Milkha Singh a run for his money. I ran upstairs all the way to my room. But guess what? The mob chased me to my room! So there I was, running into my room with the mob in hot pursuit and the bodyguards and bouncers chasing them. It'd have been comic if it wasn't so scary,” she said.

“Believe me, it is just not right. I’d advise all female celebrities to avoid dancing for New Year’s celebrations. No amount of money is worth your izzat and your life. I’ve never been more scared in my life. Never again.”
