This news is being shared not only in the Indian media but also in the media platforms of Sri Lanka.

But last Saturday (03) Poonam Pandey posted two videos on Instagram announcing that actress Poonam is alive.

She said in the video that she is alive. I did not die of cervical cancer. But thousands of women are affected by this disease. They are not aware of it. Like other cancers, cervical cancer can be completely cured. Early screening and vaccinations are essential. I posted mentioning that I died to make aware the people about cervical cancer. The Bollywood film industry had expressed its condolences because of my death. She said that she would apologize to everyone for that.
