A day ago, a post was shared on actor Poonam Pandey’s Instagram page informing that she had passed away due to cervical cancer. However, in another post this morning, the actor revealed that she is alive. “I am alive, I didn’t die of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, I cannot say that about those hundreds and thousands of women who have lost their lives because of cervical cancer,” she said. While many agreed that her death stunt prompted a conversation about cervical cancer, others expressed outrage about the way it was done and some even called it a ‘new low’.
Just like this individual who wrote on X, “Exploiting a fake death for attention is a new low. While awareness on #CervicalCancer is vital, using such tactics is disrespectful #PoonamPandey.”
Here’s how some others reacted to this news:
What did Poonam Pandey share?
