There is no vulgarity in nudity, said Poonam Pandey, the model whose offer to go nude before Team India if they won the Cricket World Cup shot the mercury up for the India-Sri Lanka final in Mumbai.

"We were all born nude. People take nudity as vulgarity. I see it in a different way. If I keep it as an offer for bringing the World Cup to India, which incidentally worked (laughs), I see no harm in it, " Pandey told in an interview.

The model's offer hit the headlines prior to the April 2 World Cup final in Mumbai. A court case was also filed against her over the issue.

"After such a long time Team India was again very close to winning the World Cup and I truly wanted to them to be successful. It (going nude in front of the team) was a sort of offering from my side to our cricketers, " Pandey told in an interview.

Does she believe that Team India won the World Cup just so it did not miss her offering?

"No, I won't say that. But I had prayed to God that if India brings the Cup I would strip in front of the team. I am yet to fulfil my commitment though, " Pandey said.

But her parents were certainly upset.

"Frankly, when I gave the statement my parents felt very bad. But when I explained to them why I made the offer, they were relieved a bit, " she said.

Pandey, an aspiring actress, is one of the contestants in the fourth season of the action adventure reality show "Khatron Ke Khilladi" on COLORS channel.

If she could face the whole country over the nudity controversy, competing 12 pairs of contestants in the "Khatron ke.." show is nothing, the model said.

"I am not afraid of anyone. I wasn't afraid when whole India was after me. There is no chance I fear a bit about the 12 pairs of contestants. On the contrary, I would love to make people fear me, " said Pandey.

Asked if she has any particular plan if she wins the reality show, Pandey said: "I want to keep it a surprise."
