“Hi everyone it's Poonam. I am sorry to those whom I have hurt. My intention is to shock everyone into the conversation that we are not talking enough about cervical cancer.”

 

“Yes, I faked my demise.”

 

She added: “Extreme I know. But suddenly we all are talking about cervical cancer. This disease silently takes your life and this disease needs the spotlight urgently. I am proud of what my death news has been able to achieve.”

 

Poonam shared another video and captioned it: “I feel compelled to share something significant with you all - I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn't claim me, but tragically, it has claimed the lives of thousands of women due to lack of knowledge on how to tackle this disease. Unlike some other cancers, Cervical Cancer is entirely preventable.”



 


“The key lies in the HPV vaccine and early detection tests. We have the means to ensure no one loses their life to this disease. Let's empower one another with critical awareness and ensure every woman is informed about the steps to take.”

 

“Together, let's strive to put an end to the devastating impact of the disease and bring # DeathToCervicalCancer.”

 

On Friday, news about Poonam succumbing to cancer at 32 made the rounds after a statment was put on her Instagram.

 

The statement read: “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. In this time of grief, we would request for privacy, while we remember her fondly for all that we shared.”




 

Poonam made her Bollywood debut in 2013 with the film 'Nasha', 'GST - Galti Sirf Tumhari' (2017), and a few other films and television serials.

 

In 2011, she grabbed headlines by promising to strip for the Indian cricket team if it bagged the Cricket World Cup that year.

Renowned for its cultural significance, the mesmerizing three-day spectacle is now recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in Hong Kong. Made from rattan, rope, and straw, and adorned with over 20,000 lit incense sticks along its 220-foot (67 m) body, the formidable fire dra...
