In a tragic turn of events, model-actor Poonam Pandey has succumbed to cervical cancer at the age of 32, as announced by her team through a heartfelt message on her Instagram account on Friday. The report can't be independently verified by Pop Nation World.
The demise occurred on Thursday night at her family residence in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
In a poignant post on Pandey's Instagram, her team expressed their deep sorrow, stating, "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."
The news has left Pandey's followers in a state of shock and disbelief, leading to an outpouring of tributes in the comments section on her Instagram. Some users, however, questioned the authenticity of the news, contemplating if it might be a marketing gimmick.
Pandey gained widespread recognition over a decade ago when she pledged to strip if India emerged victorious in the 2011 Cricket World Cup final match.
Notably, her last Instagram post, just four days ago, featured a clip of her at an event in Goa, flanked by security guards.
Coincidentally, the announcement of Poonam Pandey's demise comes on the heels of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's revelation in Budget 2024 about the government's initiative to promote cervical cancer vaccination among girls aged 9 to 14.
This vaccination program aims to administer the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine designed to provide protection against specific strains of cervical cancer.
