The report of model Poonam Pandey's death due to cervical cancer has raised suspicion among netizens, as there were no previous rumours about her illness.
She is an Indian model, actress, and influencer based in Mumbai.
She began as a model in 2010, participating in beauty contests like Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel.
She gained attention for making a controversial promise to do a striptease for the Indian cricket team if they won the 2011 World Cup.
In 2013, she made her debut in Bollywood with the movie "Nasha."
She also participated in reality shows like "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi" and "Lock Upp".
On Friday, a buzz was created on the internet, including various social media platforms that she has allegedly passed away
Cervical cancer begins in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
On January 2, 2024, she was declared dead due to suffering from cervical cancer. Her manager, Parul Chawla, confirmed the news & officially posted it on Poonam's Instagram account.
However, people on social media are still in doubt that she is dead, that her official account might be hacked, or that it is a PR stunt.
According to "The Skin Doctor" a.k.a. Neelam Singh,"Cervical cancer patients don't die suddenly. She was fine until four days ago, posting glamorous media. If she is indeed dead, it needs to be investigated."
