One of the recent episodes of Lock Upp witnessed Poonam Pandey putting some serious allegations against her estranged husband, Sam Bombay. Poonam shared that Sam used to beat her up so much so that she also suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Now Sam has reacted to her allegations in an interview with BT where he shared, “Our marriage has been beautiful and I remember only those things. Sometimes, it is just that 10 percent is not good in a relationship. Unfortunately, everyone wants to focus on that imperfect 10 percent. I took the saat pheras with her seriously. Whatever Poonam is saying, it’s sad, unnecessary, and useless. She makes news out of nothing because she loves to be in the news.”
When asked about Poonam’s allegations of domestic violence, Sam said, “Let me ask you what is domestic violence (DV). Is it physical, verbal, emotional, psychological, or mental? There are too many things here. Millions of men are suffering and they have no way to get out of this. A woman makes one call and the police will grab the man and put him in custody. But I have to go to the cops 20 times and yet they won’t do anything. What else can I say?”
He added, “Let me tell you that she charged me with molestation and s*xual assault on our honeymoon. And, this happened within a week of our marriage. An FIR was lodged. A few days later, she called me back and said that molestation is a big word and she had no idea what molestation is. It is beyond my comprehension how one can be charged with molestation on his honeymoon. Later, she took back the charge. As I said, nobody will believe the man; whatever he says doesn’t matter.”
When asked if he will go inside the show, Lock Upp if offered, he said, “I prefer to be behind the camera. But in this case, I will. More people will watch if I go.”
When asked if they can get back together, he said, “No, we both have too much ego. And, there is one problem. My wife has all the qualities except loyalty. So until and unless I get that. Loyalty is the basis of any relationship. Without loyalty, there is no trust and honesty, and then there’s a failure. Good guys don’t make it. You have to be a bad boy. That’s how you survive. Has she ever complained about me cheating with anybody? I have had multiple relationships with celebrities bigger than Poonam. Has anybody accused me of assault? Never. Has Poonam been accused by other men of assault? Yes. So there’s a pattern here. And this is what the police told me; I had no idea about this.”
He concluded by saying, “I married Poonam because she told me that the avatar she has created for herself, nobody is going to marry her. But again, why is she talking about me in the show? It’s because she wants me to know that she’s thinking about me. We both bi**h about each other because we are still madly in love with each other.”
