Actor, reality TV star Poonam Pandey dead at 32: Indian media

In a heart-wrenching announcement, the official handle of actor and reality TV star Poonam Pandey declared her passing on Friday at the age of 32. The post attributed cervical cancer as the cause of her untimely death. 

Expressing deep sorrow, the statement conveyed, “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 for privacy while we remember her fondly for all that we shared.”

Poonam's manager, Nikita, confirmed the tragic news to Indian Express, stating, "She died at her home in Uttar Pradesh." While condolences poured in, some expressed scepticism, pointing out recent sightings of the late model at events and her social media updates. Despite these speculations, the publication could not independently verify with her family.

Poonam gained popularity as a model, notably after her bold promise to strip if India emerged victorious in the 2011 Cricket World Cup final. Her recent appearance was on the OTT reality show Lock Upp, hosted by Kangana Ranaut. The sudden loss has left fans and well-wishers in shock, mourning the demise of the vibrant personality who captured hearts with her charisma.
