Poonam Pandey’s dramatic announcement of being alive after a public declaration of her death from cervical cancer has ignited a firestorm of debate. This incident, unfolding just a day after the initial death statement on her Instagram, has sparked discussions about the ethics of using such tactics for raising awareness.
“Not the way to raise awareness, ONLY publicity stunt”: Esha Gupta lashes out at Poonam Pandey for faking her death
Pandey, in a subsequent video and live session, clarified she is well and emphasized her intention to raise awareness about cervical cancer prevention. She highlighted the importance of HPV vaccination and early detection, urging viewers to learn more. However, her methods have drawn criticism from some, including actress Esha Gupta, who called it a “publicity stunt” disrespectful to those battling the disease. Gupta, a child of a cancer survivor, commented on Pandey’s live session, expressing her disapproval of the fake death announcement.
While Pandey maintains her stance on raising awareness, the debate rages on. Some argue that the ends justify the means, highlighting the potential for increased attention to cervical cancer prevention. Others express concern about the emotional impact on those genuinely affected by the disease and the potential for trivializing real struggles.
This incident coincides with recent national focus on cervical cancer following Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget speech.
