PTC Web Desk: In a surprising turn of events that left social media in a state of shock, Poonam Pandey, the renowned actor and ‘Lock Upp’ sensation, confessed to faking her own deathe. The dramatic revelation came through a video posted on her Instagram account, accompanied by a caption that read, “I feel compelled to share something significant with you all – I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn’t claim me.”
This unexpected announcement followed earlier reports on Friday that suggested Poonam had succumbed to cervical cancer. The news had spread like wildfire, even endorsed by Poonam Pandey’s media manager, Parul Chawla. However, it turns out that it was all a well-orchestrated stunt, leaving fans and followers bewildered.
Poonam Pandey’s Instagram video didn’t just end with the shocking revelation; it carried a profound message about cervical cancer awareness. In her second Insta message, she explained that the stunt aimed to draw attention to the often-overlooked issue of cervical cancer. Pandey emphasised the preventable nature of the disease, advocating for HPV vaccination and early detection tests as crucial measures in the fight against cervical cancer.
Addressing the criticism and backlash that flooded social media following her revelation, Poonam Pandey remained unapologetic. In a follow-up video, she expressed, “I’m sorry I’ve caused this tear and I’m sorry to those whom I’ve hurt. My intention? To shock everyone into the conversation that we are not talking enough about. Which is cervical cancer.”
The unconventional approach to raising awareness did not escape criticism, with some questioning the appropriateness of using such a sensitive topic for shock value. Social media users condemned the stunt, stating that there are more dignified ways to spread awareness about cervical cancer.
Despite the backlash, Poonam Pandey stood firm in her belief that the extreme measure was necessary to bring the issue to the forefront. She asserted that her “death” had successfully ignited conversations about cervical cancer, a disease often overshadowed by more mainstream health concerns.
The entire episode unfolded like a sensational plot twist, with Poonam Pandey emerging as the unexpected protagonist in a tale of her own creation. Whether applauded for the awareness message or criticised for the unconventional method, one thing is certain – Poonam Pandey has once again managed to seize the limelight, proving that her ability to capture attention extends beyond the silver screen.
