Poonam Pandey’s fake death news shocks the entertainment industry
Poonam Pandey hit the headlines for the news of her death due to cervical cancer which shocked the entire film industry. Many celebrities condoled the death with heavy heart.
The news of her death was confirmed by her Manager and her sister.
But when on Saturday she posted a news on the social media that she is alive and faked the death news to spread awareness of the cervical cancer, it wasn’t appreciated by not only the Bollywood Celebrities but her fans and netizens who have all stronglg condemned Poonam for her cheap publicity.
This wasn’t the way to spread awareness for the cervical cancer. It was just for her PR publicity.
The fake news hurt the sentiments of all Indians who paid tribute to her on her death.
Poonam is an educated person and a popular face not only in the entertainment industry but as well in other fields too. With this fake news she has damaged her reputation.
The news of an influencer/model-actress dying of cervical cancer cannot be a means to spread awareness about the disease. The entire episode takes away the serious nature of cervical cancer and diverts the attention entirely to the influencer.
On Friday, a statement published on her social media read, Poonam Pandey “bravely fought the disease” and died.
On Saturday, Pandey, 32 conceded to her 1.3 million followers in another video posted on Instagram that her death had been a hoax.
She admitted “Yes, she faked her demise, extreme she knows.But suddenly we all are talking about cervical cancer, aren’t we? adding that she feels proud of what her death news has been able to achieve.
Poonam Pandey’s fake announcement was soon met with online criticism that included accusations it was a “deceptive stunt”.
Several lambasted Pandey for what one commenter described as her “attention-seeking behaviour”.
Actor Pooja Bhatt and filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri have called out Poonam for her “disgraceful” stunt.
As per Pooja Bhatt’, she never deletes tweets but did so in the case where she expressed her shock at the 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,” Pooja Bhatt wrote on X.
“Actually, it was a marketing campaign for @thehauterrfly. Watch the end and the logo on right upper corner. How sinister, how pathetic,” Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri posted on X.
Meanwhile, Pandey began her modelling career in 2010 and garnered a reputation for outlandish stunts and risque behaviour.
