Poonam confronts her fake demise and gets offended for an immensely clumsy act
Poonam released a video where she said “I’m Alive I didn’t die of cervical cancer unfortunately I can’t say that about those hundreds of thousands of women who have lost their lives because of cervical cancer” reacting to the video, designer Saisha Shinde, who was in the show of Lock up with Poonam posted disgusted I called you my friend, you don’t deserve to be my friend! you called this awareness, my mom had a double mastectomy and she battled cancer! My sister has had a kidney failure and she’s passed away and can never come back. My aunt died of mental illness…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. Same on you @poonampandeyreal you played with our emotions and I will never forgive you for this!NEVER!!
Now Poonam Pandey faking her death to spread awareness of cervical cancer hasn’t gone down well. Two complaints have been filed against Poonam Pandey. The complaint is that fake news was spread for publicity, a strict action against Poonam Pandey must be taken. Common people say that she made an absolute joke out of it.
File case against Poonam Pandey faces a huge backlash
Lawsuit filed case against Poonam Pandey, Satyajeet Tambe a Mumbai-based legislator has demanded that the Mumbai police should arrest her for her fake demise so that no one feels tempted to spread fake news in the future. He also mentioned that “the news of an influencer/model dying of cervical cancer cannot be a means to spread awareness about the disease”.
The fake death news caused a lot of people, and a lot of concern too right? some say that ‘at least her faking her death led to a discussion on cervical cancer.
#PoonamPandey raised awareness about 3 important things:
1) Cervical cancer
2) The laundry of death – When some is (presumed) dead, everyone will say good things about them. Stuff they never do when the person is alive.
3) The fall of mainstream media – They’ll publish anything…— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) February 3, 2024
