Poonam Pandey has been garnering the limelight for speaking about her tumultuous marriage on Kangana Ranaut's reality show, Lock Upp. She alleged that her estranged husband, Sam Bombay had an alcohol problem and he 'kept beating' her. Now, in an interview with ETimes, Sam reacted to the allegations levelled by Poonam and explained his side of the story. He said:
"Till date, I haven't spoken about whatever has been happening with me for 4 years. This is the first time I am speaking out. The assault comes in various forms. And several men are suffering from this and at some point, a man will snap. Whatever happened between us, I wasn't the one who initiated."
Sam also added that the accusations levied on him by his wife, Poonam are unnecessary and added that it was him, who was abused throughout the relationship. Talking about the same, he said:
"Whatever Poonam is saying, it's sad, unnecessary and useless. She makes news out of nothing because she loves to be in the news. I have been abused throughout my relationship. But 90 per cent of my relationship, she bombed me with love; I have never felt so loved in my life. So to say that I was in an abusive relationship, I disregard that."

Sam claimed that both of them are madly in love with each other but won't patch up because both have their own egos. He also said that he's ready to accept Poonam back into his life wholeheartedly if she comes back. Sharing that his wife lacks loyalty, Sam added:
“She is my wife. Maybe she hasn't taken the saat pheras seriously but as I told you, I have. Whenever she comes back to me, my heart will be open. But there is one problem. My wife has all the qualities except loyalty. So until and unless I get that.”
Further in the interview, Sam said that he has been in a relationship with celebs, who are bigger than Poonam but nobody ever accused him of molestation. However, he added that his wife, Poonam has a pattern of cheating on people. Talking about the importance of loyalty in a relationship, Sam added:
"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."
On the professional front, Poonam Pandey is currently seen in Kangana Ranaut's controversial reality show, Lock Upp!
