Actress Poonam Pandey made a name for herself in the entertainment industry with her bold choice of outfits and knack for creating controversies. She had been ruling the headlines for the past few days for faking her death to raise awareness about cervical cancer. Her death hoax has certainly left the netizens disgusted as they have been condemning her for her ‘cheap tricks’ and in a way ‘making fun of the cancer patients’. While her industry friends have lashed out at her, her estranged husband Sam Bombay has extended his support by expressing his delight that she is alive and well.
Having tied the knot with the Lock Upp contestant in 2020, Sam recently reacted to the entire saga during an interview with the Hindustan Times. He opened up about it and stated that when he heard the heartbreaking news, he felt nothing in his heart, no sense of loss. He wondered why he didn’t feel anything. Quoted by the Free Press Journal, he added, “I think about her (Poonam Pandey) every day. And, I pray for her every day. If something was wrong, I'd know.” ALSO READ: DID YOU KNOW?
