  • This fake news had hurt the sentiments of all Indians: AICWA
  • File an FIR against both Poonam Pandey: AICWA
  • This diverts the attention entirely to the influencer: Tambe

The publicity stunt of Indian model Poonam Pandey spreading misinformation about her death to spread awareness about cervical cancer has not gone down well with many people. The All India Cine Workers Association wrote a letter to the Mumbai police recommending strict action to be taken against Poonam Pandey. “The fake news of the demise of model and actress Poonam Pandey due to cervical cancer sent a shockwave among all in the Indian Film industry. This fake news was created for a publicity stunt by model and actress Poonam Pandey which is being confirmed by her manager. This fake news had hurt the sentiments of all Indians who paid tribute to her. We request your goodself to please file an FIR against both Poonam Pandey and her manager for spreading fake news merely for their PR publicity. Strict action against them is necessary so that such types of fake news will not be circulated by anyone. Such cheap publicity is not at all accepted in our Indian Film Industry which has high emotional values for all,” the letter mentioned. 

Maharashtra Legislator Satyajeet Tambe also voiced his opinion against this mode of spreading awareness. “The news of an influencer/model dying of cervical cancer cannot be a means to spread awareness about the disease. The entire episode takes away the serious nature of cervical cancer and diverts the attention entirely to the influencer,” he said.
