"I am Faizan Ansari, a social media influencer hailing from Mumbai. Poonam Pandey, an Indian actress and model, has ridiculed the entire nation.

Notably, this marks the third written complaint against Poonam, with prior complaints lodged by the Cine Workers Association and Advocate Ali Kasif. On February 2, the manager of the Lock Upp fame actress declared the actress's passing due to cervical cancer.
A statement was simultaneously posted on Poonam's official Instagram, stating, "This morning is a tough one for us. Deeply saddened to inform you that we have lost our beloved Poonam to cervical cancer. Every living form that ever came in contact with her was met with pure love and kindness." However, on Saturday, Poonam released a video on social media revealing that she is alive and that she staged her own demise with the intention of raising awareness about cervical cancer.
Several Bollywood celebs have also bashed the actress for this cheap publicity move.
