Celebs react to Poonam Pandey fake death:
Famous designer Saisha Shinde posted, “Totally disgusted! I called you my friend! You don’t deserve to be my friend! You called this awareness? Shut the f*** up! My mom has had a double mastectomy and she has battled cancer! My sister has had a kidney failure and she’s passed away, my aunt died of mental illness and unlike you they can never come back! Death is not a joke! Death is not a publicity stunt! It’s an actual non quantifiable fact! Shame on you @poonampandeyreal you played with our emotions! And I will never forgive you for this ! Never! What has the world come to? Who are these people?”
Ram Gopal Varma had a different approach to the announcement. He tweeted, “Hey @iPoonampandey the extreme method you employed to draw attention to this issue might attract some criticism , but no one can question your intent nor what you achieved with this hoax.. Discussion on cervical cancer is trending all across now. Your soul is as beautiful as you. Wish u a very very long and happy life.”
Kusha Kapila said, “Here is an agency behind this. Someone actually came up with idea and also greenlit it I cannot.”
Riddhi Dogra said, “I don’t blame her or the PR Team. They thought of the idea and knew it’ll be crazy. I blame media and journalists who have reported an Insta post as news without fact checking, they have taken an oath to tell the truth. But seems the oath’s meaning has changed to ‘sell people anything with screams and antics and they’ll buy it coz they’re stupid.’”
Siddhant Kapoor commented, “Faking your own death for publicity should be a punishable crime . Disgusting.”
Sophie Choudry said, “We all knew it was a stunt and the fact that almost all the media houses carried the news without verifying is just ridiculous.”

Aly Goni shared on X, “Fu**ing cheap publicity stunt it was nothing else.. you guys think it’s funny? You and your PR team should be boycotted I swear.. bl***y losers and to all the media portals we people here trust you that’s why we believed it.. shame on you all..”
Poonam Pandey's close friend, Shardul Pandit posted a long video in which he said, "Sorry to everyone who had to take care of me yesterday. Sorry to everyone with whom I fought yesterday for questioning why are they saying it's a hoax. Sorry to my friends who went through seeing what I was going through. Meri maa cancer se mari hai. Whoever came up with this, this is not cool. I really love Poonam Pandey so it affected me a lot. But this is not cool. There are some things you should not touch. Death is not a joke. I have lost my mom to cancer. Very happy you are alive but this is not cool."
