Poonam Pandey is alive
On Friday, a post on Poonam Pandey's Instagram handle claimed that the actress had passed away due to cervical cancer, shocking her fans. Now a day later, Poonam Pandey took to her Instagram to reveal that she is alive.
In this new video, she spreads awareness about cervical cancer, saying, "I am alive. I didn't die because of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, I cannot say that about those thousands of women who have lost their lives because of cervical cancer. It is not because they couldn't do anything about it, but because they had no idea what to do about it. I am here to tell you that, unlike other cancers, cervical cancer is curable."

The post on Poonam Pandey's handle shared on Friday morning read, "This morning is a tough one for us. Deeply saddened to inform you that we have lost our beloved Poonam to cervical cancer. Every living form that ever came in contact with her was met with pure love and kindness. In this time of grief, we would request privacy while we remember her fondly for all that we shared."
Her manager issued a statement saying, "Poonam Pandey was not only a luminary in the film industry, but she was also a beacon of strength and resilience." According to the World Health Organisation, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women.
Yesterday, after the post of Poonam's demise was posted, many speculated whether the news was real or fake, given the actress' controversial past, while others wondered if this was an attempt to generate awareness for cervical cancer. January was cervical cancer awareness month, and World Cancer Day is on February 4.
She was last seen in Kangana Ranaut-hosted reality show Lock Upp, where she was competing against Munawar Faruqui, Karanvir Vohra and others.
