Despite
the
confirmation
of
Poonam's
passing,
several
social
media
users
remained
skeptical,
speculating
that
it
could
be
a
marketing
tactic
to
raise
awareness
about
cervical
cancer
as
the
actress-model
was
holidaying
in
Goa
just
a
few
days
ago.
A
post
on
Pandey's
official
Instagram
account
confirmed
the
shocking
news,
stating,
"This
morning
is
a
tough
one
for
us.
Deeply
saddened
to
inform
you
that
we
have
lost
our
beloved
Poonam
to
cervical
cancer.
Every
living
form
that
ever
came
in
contact
with
her
was
met
with
pure
love
and
kindness.
In
this
time
of
grief,
we
would
request
privacy
while
we
remember
her
fondly
for
all
that
we
shared."
The
news
of
her
demise
was
also
confirmed
by
her
manager
and
other
members
of
her
team.
On
the
career
front,
she
was
last
seen
as
a
contestant
in
Lock
Upp.
