<p>The Kingfisher calendar model had sent a letter to BCCI asking for permission to strip.<br />"I had written them a letter seeking permission, but was denied. I felt bad and was hurt when they did not allow me to go bare. They just said BCCI does not give permission for such things," Poonam told PTI.<br /><br />"I am still on with my commitment. If BCCI gives me the permission, I will do it. I am still requesting them. I am asking everyone to go and tell the BCCI on my behalf to allow me so that I can go ahead and fulfill it. I didn't want to break any law so I sought permission," she added.<br /><br />The 19-year-old said she has no plans to meet the BCCI officials personally to pursue the matter.<br /><br />When asked if being into news for the wrong reasons bother her, Poonam said, "It does not. Personally I don't think it is a negative publicity. If doing anything for Team India or for the nation is considered negative then what should I say?"<br /><br />The aspiring actress insisted that going bare was her idea of celebrating the victory and not a publicity stunt.<br /><br />"I had made that statement for Team India, I don't regret it at all. I did not think that it will turn out to be such a big thing and become such a issue. It may be a big question in a country like India. But internationally several models have done this kind of act, so why are people in India are taking it as a big thing?" she wondered.<br /><br />On her family's reaction, Poonam said, "My family was upset. They were shocked. But when I explained it to them that I have given the statement for team India they understood it."<br /><br />"I believe people have their own ways of perceiving things. If a man removes his T-shirt and walks on road no one will say anything but if a girl does something similar or even says something similar the outcome is not good, which you can see in my case," she said.<br />Poonam, one of the most downloaded models on the internet, also got threat calls after her announcement.<br /><br />"I had to hide as I received many calls threatening me of dire consequences if I bared all. But some people called to say that they are proud of me. I have been getting offers from magazines and calendars to pose in the buff, and also been approached by reality TV show makers," she said.<br /><br />The Mumbai-based model will be participating in the fourth season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi'.</p>
