Poonam Pandey’s sudden death has left everyone shocked. Minutes after the news of the controversial model made headlines, Kangana Ranaut also reacted to it. The Tejas actress took to her Instagram stories and mentioned that she is saddened by the loss. “This is so sad, losing a young woman to cancer is a catastrophe. Om Shanti,” she wrote.
Kangana Ranaut hosted Lock Upp Season 1 in which Poonam Pandey was a contestant. Even though Poonam did not win the show, she did expand her fan base with it. Lock Upp was ultimately won by stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui.
Poonam Pandey passed away on Thursday, February 1. The news of her death was first revealed in a post shared on her official Instagram handle. “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,” the post read.
Poonam Pandey was a popular model. Her popularity skyrocketed after she had promised in a video message ahead of the 2011 Cricket World Cup final that she would strip if India won the final match. With her audacious claim, this was the first time she drew attention to herself across all social media platforms.
Over the years, Pandey’s name became synonymous with controversy. Once, everyone was left shocked after a bathroom video of the actress leaked on social media. In the viral clip, Pandey was seen dancing while taking a shower. Later, this video was blocked by YouTube.
Poonam was also briefly married to Sam Bombay. The wedding came as a surprise to everyone. They often shared videos and photos on social media platforms. However, the marriage did not last. She accused him of domestic violence immediately after their wedding in 2020.
