On February 2, Poonam Pandey gained attention with a post on her Instagram account, announcing her supposed demise due to cervical cancer. Her manager also corroborated the news to various media outlets, stating that she had passed away at the age of 32. However, a day later, Poonam in a post on Instagram, revealed that her death was a hoax orchestrated to raise awareness about cervical cancer.

In an Instagram video, she said, "I am alive. I didn't die of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, I can't say that about those hundreds and thousands of women who have lost their lives because of cervical cancer."

Sharing the video, she wrote, "I feel compelled to share something significant with you all - I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn’t claim me, but tragically, it has claimed the lives of thousands of women who stemmed from a lack of knowledge on how to tackle this disease." The stunt was not universally positive, with numerous celebrities, including Kangana Ranaut and Karan Kundrra, expressing criticism towards the actress.
