I am glad that since yesterday all I am reading about is cervical cancer. My message has reached right. Every person in India is aware about cervical cancer.”
“It’s a terrible feeling. I am shivering right now. My friends are very angry, and don’t know if they will even talk to me. My PR team had no clue where I was, I went underground,” she said on live.

In another video, she said that she is alive and spoke about cervical cancer awareness. She wrote in the caption, "
: “I feel compelled to share something significant with you all - I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn't claim me, but tragically, it has claimed the lives of thousands of women due to lack of knowledge on how to tackle this disease. Unlike some other cancers, Cervical Cancer is entirely preventable.”
“The key lies in the HPV vaccine and early detection tests. We have the means to ensure no one loses their life to this disease. Let's empower one another with critical awareness and ensure every woman is informed about the steps to take.”
“Together, let's strive to put an end to the devastating impact of the disease and bring #DeathToCervicalCancer.”
On Friday, everyone was left shocked when Poonam's Instagram account posted announcement about her death due to cervical cancer.
