Poonam Pandey’s close friend and actor Shardul Pandit has expressed his anger over her fake death publicity stunt. A day after Poonam Pandey’s death was announced on her Instagram handle, the actress came out in a video statement on Saturday morning and clarified that she is still alive. She argued that the motive of her death news was to create awareness regarding cervical cancer. However, the ‘awareness stunt’ has not gone down well with the netizens, including her friends.
Shardul took to Instagram and expressed his anger at Poonam’s campaign. He said, “Let me begin this video by saying that I’m very grateful to god that Poonam is alive. Why am I doing this on video? Why didn’t I call her? I did call her, her number is busy. I’ve been calling multiple people.”

“I want to say sorry to everybody who had to take care of me yesterday. Sorry to all the online people jinse main kal jhagad raha tha by saying this is a hoax, aap aisa kyu soch rahe hain, kisi ki death hui hai. Sorry to all the media reporters jinse maine kaha ki mujhe kisi ki maut par rotiyan nahi sekni hain. Sorry to all my friends who had to go through me going through whatever I had gone through,” Shardul added.
The actor and RJ continued, “Meri maa cancer se mari hain. You know, whoever came up with this idea, aapka intention kitna bhi accha ho of spreading awareness, this is not cool. You know, there are some things which are…I really love Poonam Panday, I was so affected yesterday. Main kisko kya kya bol raha tha ki aap usko samajhte nahi hain. But this is not cool.”
“There are some things you cannot touch. Yes, there should be awareness but kya ho gaya hai hum logo ko yaar? Death is not a joke. I’ve lost my mom to cancer. This idea wasn’t cool,” he said.
Earlier today, Poonam had publically apologised on social media for her drastic campaign. She said that her close friends, including Shardul, are mad at her. She also apologised to him on Instagram Live.
