The management of model, actor, and reality TV sensation Poonam Pandey declared on Friday that the celebrity passed away on Thursday night from cervical cancer. The news of her passing was also announced by her team through a post on her official Instagram account. But Poonam turns out to still be alive. On Saturday, she announced the same on Instagram with a few videos. Celebrities and social media users alike are criticizing her.
Poonam’s remarks in the latest video
“I am alive,” she declared. Cervical cancer did not claim my life. Regretfully, I am unable to make that statement about the countless numbers of women who have lost their lives to cervical cancer.” She continued discussing the illness. Poonam commented, “I feel compelled to share something significant with you all—I am here, alive,” along with the video. Though it didn’t take my life, cervical cancer has sadly taken thousands of women’s lives due to a lack of awareness about treatment options.
The internet is upset about Poonam.
Poonam is the target of several postings and remarks on Twitter and Instagram. As predicted!” an X user commented. This whole thing was a publicity ploy! Everyone who had been doubting her was correct! “Poonam Pandey is the biggest fraud; she is alive,” stated a tweet. This is really blatant.”
Celebrities, including some of her own industry pals, are refusing to pardon her for the “insensitive” joke. Kusha Kapila responded to reports of Poonam’s marketing stunt by saying, “There is an agency behind this.” I can’t believe someone actually came up with the idea and gave it the go-ahead.
The cause of death had been verified by Poonam Pandey’s team.
While many fans and celebrities expressed their sorrow for Poonam’s untimely “death” on Friday, there was conjecture over the reason behind it, if it was a prank, and her family’s silence.
“This morning is a tough one for us,” the late actor-model’s crew wrote in a message on Poonam Pandey’s official Instagram account on Friday. We are so sorry to notify you that Poonam, our darling, passed away from cervical cancer. She greeted every living thing that had touched her with unadulterated love and kindness. We would ask for privacy during this difficult time while we cherish the memories we have of her.
“Poonam Pandey’s dedication to her work and her unwavering spirit amidst her health struggles were truly remarkable,” added Nikita Sharma, Poonam’s manager. Her passing will serve as a constant reminder of how important it is to put our health first, especially when it comes to diseases like cervical cancer that are avoidable.
Why have you remained silent about Poonam Pandey’s family?
According to some stories, Poonam Pandey’s family remained inaccessible following her shocking declaration. Poonam’s family members are untraceable, according to a source cited in an India Today article. Efforts were made to contact them, but their phones were either inaccessible or turned off.
“We tried calling Poonam’s sister after our last call with her, but ever since, her phone has been switched off,” a source told the portal. Not only that, but it is impossible to get in touch with her other family members. Surprisingly, when we attempted to contact Poonam’s team members as well, we were unable to reach any of them on the phone. We are therefore also perplexed at this time.
What Kamaal R. Khan thought
The story of Poonam’s passing has been dismissed by former actor and film critic Kamaal R. Khan (KRK), who refers to it as a “publicity stunt.” He captioned a photo he posted of Poonam on Instagram on Friday, saying, “Her death news is a publicity stunt.” Poonam Pandey is still with us.” Additionally, he posted a video of Poonam at a party and captioned it, saying, “Poonam was enjoying a party just 2 days ago!”
Conjecture on her most recent Instagram photo
A few days before word of Poonam’s passing spread, she uploaded a video from a Goa party to Instagram. On Friday, other users of social media were also responding to the video. It was her final post on Instagram. Numerous people expressed their shock at Poonam’s “sudden death.”
Additionally, Poonam Pandey “never mentioned” actress Sambhavna Seth’s cervical cancer. In an interview with News18, Sambhavna, who appeared alongside Poonam in the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! She was someone I knew. Together, we completed Khatron Ke Khiladi. She and I met last year. We would continue to get together sometimes for social gatherings or events. However, she never disclosed that she was having any issues. It’s still too unbelievable for me to process. Poonam was just thirty or thirty-two years old. Simply put, life is so erratic.”
Bodyguard claims Poonam never brought up the sickness.
Amin Khan, Poonam Pandey’s bodyguard, stated in a recent interview with India Today that he last saw her on Monday. Amin further stated that Poonam’s family, including her sister, is not returning his calls and that the model-actor “never mentioned her illness to him or any of her staff.”
“On January 29, I last left Madam Poonam Pandey; we were in Mumbai for a picture shoot with fashion designer Rohit Verma. I then dropped her off at her house. She never disclosed to me or the staff that she was ill. We returned home, but the security guard wouldn’t let us in.”
