In a shocking turn of events, Poonam Pandey passed away on Thursday night, her manager confirmed to News18. In a post shared on her official Instagram account on Friday morning, February 2, first broke the news of her death and claimed that she died of cervical cancer. Following her death, reality TV star Sambhavna Seth spoke with News18 and confessed she was unaware of her cancer diagnosis.
Sambhavna, who shared a rather close bond with Poonam and appeared on a television show with her, told us, “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 continues, “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.”
Talking about how Poonam was quite the opposite of the brazen and bold image that she had, Sambhavna says, “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.”
What further shocks Sambhavna is the fact that Poonam never opened up to 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,” she remarks.
Sambhavna concluded the conversation by saying, “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.”
