Poonam Pandey’s team confirms cause of death
On Friday, the late actor-model’s crew issued a post on Poonam Pandey’s official Instagram account saying, “This morning is a tough one for us. We are really heartbroken to inform you that our dear Poonam has died from cervical cancer. Every living thing that came into contact with her was treated with pure love and kindness. In this time of bereavement, we would want to seek solitude while remembering her warmly for everything we shared.”
Poonam’s manager, Nikita Sharma, told Hauterrfly.com, “Poonam Pandey’s dedication to her work and unbreakable attitude despite her health challenges was absolutely extraordinary. Her death will continue to remind us of the significance of prioritizing health, especially in the case of avoidable cancers like cervical cancer.”
Why hasn’t Poonam Pandey’s family said anything?
According to certain sources, Poonam’s family is unreachable following her death announcement. According to India Today, a source said that Poonam’s family members are untraceable because attempts were made to contact them, but their phones were either shut off or inaccessible.
A source told the portal, “We tried calling Poonam’s sister after our previous call with her, but her phone has been turned off since then. Not only that, but her other family members are out of reach. We attempted to contact 2-3 members of Poonam’s team as well, and, shockingly, everyone’s phone was either turned off or inaccessible. As a result, we are also confused about this moment.”
Kamaal R Khan says, “It’s a publicity stunt.”
Unconfirmed stories further stated that Poonam died in Pune, while some claimed her dead bones were found in her hometown of Kanpur. The Hindustan Times could not independently verify the accuracy of these accusations.
Former actor and film critic Kamaal R Khan (KRK) has dismissed the report of Poonam’s death as a ‘publicity stunt’. On Friday, he shared a photo of Poonam on Instagram with the statement, “Her death is a PR stunt. “Poonam Pandey is alive.” He also tweeted a video of Poonam with others from a party, captioned “Poonam was enjoying a party just 2 days ago!”.
Speculation on the cause of death.
While others on social media are questioning the absence of facts or a family statement, Zoom reported, claiming insiders as sources, that Poonam died from a heroin overdose rather than cervical cancer.
Others on social media are reacting to a video from a Goa celebration that Poonam shared on Instagram a few days before her death. This was her last Instagram post. Poonam’s’sudden death’ surprised many people.
Actor Sambhavna Seth also stated that Poonam Pandey ‘never discussed’ her cervical cancer. Sambhavna, who appeared in the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi with Poonam, stated in an interview with News18, “Oh my gosh! I knew her. We’ve done Khatron Ke Khiladi together. I met her last year. We continued to meet occasionally, either socially or at an event. But she never mentioned having any troubles. It’s unbelievable, and I’m still struggling to process it. Poonam was extremely young, about 30-32 years old. “Life is so unpredictable.”
Poonam’s bodyguard claims she has never revealed her sickness.
In a fresh interview , Poonam’s bodyguard Amin Khan stated that he last saw her on Monday; according to Poonam’s team, she died on Thursday night. Amin further stated that the model-actor ‘never revealed her illness to him or any of her staff’ and that Poonam’s relatives, including her sister, are not returning his calls.
“I last saw Madam (Poonam Pandey) on January 29, when we had a picture session with Rohit Verma (fashion designer) in Mumbai. After that, I took her home. She never disclosed any illness to me or the workers… We went home, but the watchman would not let anyone in.”
