The news of Poonam Pandey’s death has left everyone in a state of shock, nobody including her fans, friends and colleagues is able to believe that the 32-yr actress is no more in this world.
It has been revealed through an Instagram post that Poonam was suffering from cervical cancer, the news was confirmed by her manager and family as well. Many are not able to believe it as Poonam never talked about her illness on social media or in person to anyone.
Sambhavna Seth, an actress and friend of Poonam Pandey, stated in an interview, “Oh my god! I knew her. We have done Khatron Ke Khiladi together. I met her last year. We actually would keep meeting sometimes socially or at an event. But she never mentioned that she was going through any problems. It’s absolutely unbelievable, I still can’t digest it.”
She further added, “Poonam was so young, hardly 30-32 years old. Life is just so unpredictable. I’m not in Mumbai but how I wish I was there to pay my respects. I would have reached there immediately. I knew her very well and she was a very positive person. I remember she had a dog. She was a very happy-go-lucky person. Everyone does things for media attention and so did she at times but she was not like that.”
Sambhavna also said that Poonam never told her about her illness, “She did not say anything about this. Just think how strong she was that she never even mentioned it. I really pray to God that wherever she is, she is happy and fine now. The suffering that comes with cancer is extremely tough. We all know that there are medical measures to deal with cancer as well but she must have been on a very difficult stage. I’m so sorry about this. I met her last with another friend we know but she never said anything. Maybe she wanted to keep it to herself and deal with it on her own.”
Om Shanti!
