While many were initially skeptical of the news, condolences for the same started pouring in from the actress’ friends and acquaintances. On Saturday morning she took to her official handles yet again to reveal that she is indeed alive and the news was to create an awareness regarding cervical cancer.

In the video posted by Poonam, she exclaims that she is alive and didn’t die due to cervical cancer. She went on to talk about the disease and how many women in India lose their lives because of it.

To Poonam Pandey's credit, she's managed to raise awareness about both cervical cancer and how stupid the media is all at once

Whoever crafted the Poonam Pandey campaign, must know that the message that comes out is that people don’t die of cervical cancer. 🥲

The person who gave Poonam Pandey this ridiculous idea should be ashamed. Despite having many ways to spread awareness, they chose the pathetic one. Death is no joke, there are no words to describe it.

Poonam Pandey’s death was followed by the death of the Indian media. No verifications, no fact checks, no nothing. None of it mattered. She has come back to life today. Can’t say the same about our journalism. :|

Shame on you @iPoonampandey and shame on you @thehauterrfly / xtra(dot)media for mocking the suffering of 1000s of cancer patients across India for your cheap publicity.

As someone who has lost his mother from cancer, I can tell you that cancer is not heart failure or cardiac… https://t.co/ysfIzFwjBG

At least those covering entertainment must have double, triple checked. That is the practice the old timers still follow. There are layers... Manager, industry body, the hospital/doctor. Never announce without an official note from hospital. This sounded fake from the word go

I 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. 🙏

Celebrities can play a powerful role in creating health awareness if done in a morally sound n responsible manner. Drama n gimmicks may fetch momentary public attention but in the long run leaves people feeling deceived n questioning overall credibility of celebs. #PoonamPandey

For those who don't know, apart from announcing her passing through an Instagram post, her manager also confirmed the news during a conversation with media publications. During a conversation with News18, Poonam Pandey’s manager said, “Poonam Pandey was not only a luminary in the film industry, but she was also a beacon of strength and resilience. Her unwavering spirit amidst her health struggles was truly remarkable.”
