The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) on Saturday released a statement asking for an FIR against controversial actress-model Poon♑am Pandey🌱.
Poonam made headlines on Friday, after a statement of her “demise” due to cervical cancer was shared on Instagram. A day later on Saturday, sh☂e shared a video claiming she “faked” her death to ignite a conversation on the topic of cervical cancer, which many agree was in bad taste.
AICWA on Saturday took to X, 🉐formerly known as Twitter and shared a sta🐈tement describing the gimmick by Poonam as “highly wrong.”
The ജstatement read: “The Fake PR stunt by Model and Actress Poonam Pandey is highly wrong. Usi🌳ng the guise of Cervical Cancer for self-promotion is not acceptable.
“After this news, 𝐆people may hesitate to believe any De🌜ath news in the Indian film industry. No one in the film industry Stoops to such levels for PR.”
The AICWA then said that there should be an FIR again Poonam and her ma♒nager.
The statement further read: “Poonam Pandey's manager had confirmed the False News, so there should be an FIR against Poonam Pandey and her Manager to prevent anyone exploiting their own death news for personal gains (PR). The entire Indian film industry, along with the entire nation,🌠 paid tribute.”
The post that created hysteria over Poonam’s sudden death on Friday read: "Deeply saddened to inform you that w🦩e 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 r🐼equest for privacy while we remember her fondly for all that we shared.”
