Poonam Pandey is a name that often sparks curiosity and buzz in the Indian entertainment industry. Known for her bold personality and willingness to push boundaries, Poonam has carved a niche for herself in the world of modelling and acting.
Poonam’s journey to fame is a testament to the power of social media and how it can be used to catapult someone into the spotlight. She first made headlines during the 2011 Cricket World Cup when she promised to strip for the Indian cricket team if they won the tournament.
Although she ultimately did not fulfil the promise due to public and legal pressures, the stunt significantly increased her popularity and follower count on social media platforms. Her bold approach to self-promotion has often landed her in the midst of controversy, but it has also been a key factor in her rise to fame.
Poonam has leveraged her growing popularity to secure roles in Bollywood and regional films, making her acting debut in the 2013 film “Nasha,” where she played the role of a teacher who ends up having a relationship with one of her students. While the movie received mixed reviews, Poonam’s performance was noted for her dedication and willingness to take on challenging roles.
Celebrities react to Poonam Pandey’s fake death news
Poonam Pandey recently became the centre of a whirlwind of attention with a startling claim about her own demise, which later turned out to be nothing but fake. In a recent video, she disclosed that she is indeed proud of what her death news has achieved as it created awareness about cervical cancer.
“I am alive. I didn’t die of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, I can’t say that about those hundreds and thousands of women who have lost their lives because of cervical cancer,” Poonam Pandey added.
On the other hand, celebrities including her own friends from the showbiz industry launched a scathing attack on Poonam Pandey.
Replying to the video, designer Saisha Shinde posted, “Totally disgusted! I called you my friend! You don’t deserve to be my friend! You called this awareness? 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?”
Meanwhile, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma tweeted, “Hey @iPoonampandey the extreme method you employed to draw attention to this issue might attract some criticism , but no one can question your intent nor what you achieved with this hoax.. Discussion on cervical cancer is trending all across now. Your soul is as beautiful as you. Wish u a very very long and happy life.”
