Poonam Pandey is no longer alive, and the news of her death is so unbelievable that many people still believe it is a gimmick. Here’s why.
Everyone has been shocked since the news of Poonam Pandey’s death spread on the internet. The social media star who rose to fame on reality television received a lot of love and affection for her appearance on Kangana Ranaut’s reality show Lock Upp season 1. Initially, the news of her death was posted on her Instagram account, and no one understood what was going on.
Very soon, the post’s comment section was restricted, and people were still unsure what to make of it. Some labelled it a publicity stunt, while others suspected her account had been hacked until her manager issued a statement about her death.
None of the celebrities reacted to her death because no one was convinced she died. However, it was confirmed again by various news channels, and people had to believe with a heavy heart that the reality star had died of cervical cancer. Poonam was so vibrant and full of energy on social media that the news of her death was impossible to believe.
Everyone kept hoping it was a prank until celebrities like Karan Kundra and Kangana Ranaut began paying their final respects to the actress and social media star.
It’s heartbreaking to think that someone who has died had to wait so long, even after death, to be convinced that she no longer exists. However, there are some factors that contributed to the dilemma and riskiness of this news.
1. Unbelievable Coincidence!
On February 1, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned cervical cancer vaccination in her Budget 2024 Speech. Poonam Pandey’s Instagram account announced today that the actress had died from cervical cancer. The coincidence was so strange that the initial reaction to the post seemed destined to be a publicity stunt, given Poonam Pandey’s social media presence!
However, it was heartbreaking to reveal that there was no publicity or gimmick, as confirmed by her manager.
2. Vocal Social Media Presence
Poonam Pandey is a prominent figure on social media. In fact, her last Instagram post was three days ago, and it showed the actress at an event on a Goa cruise, looking stunning as always. No one could believe she was suffering from such a disease because she appeared so healthy. She never mentioned it, and her social media posts contained no hints.
3. The History
Poonam Pandey has been one of the most contentious figures in the history of social media and reality television. She has a history of making controversial statements and using publicity gimmicks, so anything she does raises questions about the veracity of her claims. The same, unfortunately, happened in the news of her death as well. People refused to believe it because they didn’t want to fall for another of her pranks.
The only word she deserves is “sorry,” and we should be. May her soul rest peacefully.
