A number of well-known people, including Vivek Agnihotri, Ekta Kapoor, and Kangana Ranaut, have criticized actor-model Poonam Pandey for faking her death.
A number of well-known people, including Vivek Agnihotri, Ekta Kapoor, and Kangana Ranaut, have criticized actor-model Poonam Pandey for reappearing on social media just one day after her team announced that she had passed away from cervical cancer. Poonam Pandey's team said on Friday that she had passed away from the illness; but, on Saturday, she uploaded videos to her social media accounts, claiming to be "alive".
While revealing that it was for a campaign, the actress wrote, ¡°I feel compelled to share something significant with you all - I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn¡¯t claim me, but tragically, it has claimed the lives of thousands of women who stemmed from a lack of knowledge on how to tackle this disease. Unlike some other cancers, Cervical Cancer is entirely preventable. The key lies in the HPV vaccine and early detection tests. We have the means to ensure no one loses their life to this disease. Let¡¯s empower one another with critical awareness and ensure every woman is informed about the steps to take. Visit the link in the bio to delve deeper into what can be done. Together, let¡¯s strive to put an end to the devastating impact of the disease and bring #DeathToCervicalCancer¡±

Bipasha Basu said, "Beyond pathetic behaviour. The PR people behind this should be ashamed too¡ not just this person."
A part of Mini Mathur¡¯s post that she shared on her Instagram Stories read, "This Poonam Pandey cervial cancer stunt is not just distasteful, tone deaf and insensitive... it also bases itself on zero research on the subject. Not to take away from the lack of awareness around it but a mere Google search will tell you that there are 8 stages to cervical cancer and an average of 5-10 year gestation period for it to reach its advanced stage."

Tahira Kashyap wrote, "Witnessed the lowest of lows today. Oscillating emotions between being triggered, angry, shocked and disbelief. What are we becoming? How important is breaking news ? At what cost? So put off by the cheap publicity stunt. Not naming just because the person doesn't deserve any importance whatsoever."
Pooja Bhatt wrote on X, " never delete tweets but did so in the case where I expressed my shock at news of Poonam Pandey¡¯s demise due to cervical cancer. Why? Turns out the news was engineered by a digital/PR team. Absolute disgrace & disservice to those battling the same-her included."

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?¡±
