Following this, her PR team also confirmed her demise. However, Poonam Pandey turned the tables today by revealing the news of her death as false within 24 hours.
She used the opportunity to raise awareness about cervical cancer. Despite her intentions, social media has been buzzing with continuous reactions.
While some appreciate her efforts to create awareness, many criticize her approach, labeling it as a cheap publicity stunt. Here are the reactions of infuriated netizens and celebs reacted:
I don’t blame her or the PR team behind. They knew it’s a crazy idea and went with it. And mind you it was just a insta post. The journos who shared as news without fact checking is the real problem. People don’t realise by giving them a chances and blaming a girl may be easier. https://t.co/ifDAconc7X

This is a mockery of a genuine suffering and a slap in the face to all those who have battled or are battling such conditions. This shameless stunt is a stain on their character, and the teams responsible should be held accountable for their shameful actions.
