Netizens slam Poonam Pandey for her death stunt, call it ‘new low’
While people agreed that her death stunt sparked a conversation about cervical cancer, many didn’t appreciate the way it was done.
A day ago, a post was shared on actor Poonam Pandey’s Instagram page informing that she had passed away due to 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:
