Poonam Pandey reportedly died of cervical cancer on Friday morning. Her demise news has sent shockwaves across the nation.
Poonam Pandey, an actor and model, died on Friday at the age of 32 from cervical cancer. Parul Chawla, her media manager, told ANI on Friday confirmed her demise. Pandey’s official Instagram account released a post announcing the actor-model’s passing on Friday. Social media have been going crazy over the actress’ sudden death. People on X (previously known as Twitter), and Instagram are responding shockedly to the news. Social media users are questioning the authenticity of the news. Netizens are also irked about how Poonam’s family hasn’t released a word ever since her demise.
Following this, some have conjectured that it may be a PR hoax. Others are taken aback since Poonam has never before disclosed her disease. One of the users wrote, “Cervical cancer patients don’t die suddenly, out of nowhere. Just checked Poonam Pandey’s Instagram. Until four days ago, she was fine, posting glamorous media. If she is indeed dead, it needs to be investigated. There were reports of a troubled relationship with her husband in the past that involved the police. And I hope this is not a publicity stunt disguised as creating awareness for cervical cancer, which would be unethical and irresponsible, especially when dealing with sensitive issues like health awareness (sic).” Another user wrote, “News of the death of Poonam Pandey due to Cervical cancer is so fishy! Nobody can die suddenly due to cancer when you were fit and fine till four days ago. And no one runs a paid hashtag like #PoonamPandey after death! (sic).”
