Indian ill-famed actor, and model Poonam Pandey was all over the headlines as news of her sudden death shocked everyone but it turns out to be a publicity stunt pulled off by her team to allegedly raise awareness about cervical cancer.
The Nasha star took to social platform and revealed faking her death to increase conversation around cervical cancer – a life threatening condition caused by the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV).
In a clip shared on Instagram, the 32-year-old apologized to internet users and her fans for spreading fake news. Love in a Taxi star said she felt sorry for those who were hurt from the news. “Yes, I faked my death. Extreme, I know. But suddenly we all are talking about cervical cancer, aren’t we?” she said.
