Poonam Pandey Death: Vineet Kakkar has dismissed the news of the death of actress and model Poonam Pandey as 100 percent fake. He said it was not a publicity stunt, as alleged by some sections of the media.
Vineet Kakkar was a co-contestant with Poonam Pandey in the first season of the Kangana Ranaut-hosted reality show ‘Lockup’.
On Friday morning, a post appeared on Poonam Pandey’s official Instagram handle announcing her death from cervical cancer.
Talking about the ‘mysterious death’, Kakkar said, “I feel that this news is fake. I know Poonam, she is a strong woman. I have spent two weeks with her in the show ‘Locked Up’ .I know her personality and character…she is a very strong woman.”
Kakkar said he met her during the premiere of Kangana Ranaut’s 2022 film ‘Dhaakad’ and recently at the ‘Locked Up’ director’s birthday party.
This was three or four months ago. We partied together and I never thought he was suffering from any serious illness. She looked healthy and was in a good mood.
The ‘Ziddi Dil Maane Na’ actor said, “This is fake news and in a few days you will come to know that it is so. Everyone’s phones are being switched off, maybe someone has hacked his Instagram account or his manager’s account.” The account may have been hacked. Anything can happen. I can’t believe that this news is true.”
He added, “It’s hard to believe that she had something as serious as cervical cancer and there were no symptoms. How could this happen so suddenly?”
“I don’t know why and who is doing this. Someone is saying that his body is in Pune, someone is saying that it is in Kanpur. Unless his family members talk about it, I will not believe this news. I will.”
He further added, “Right now none of his family members are out of touch. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this matter.”
Kakkar said, “Poonam, wherever you are, please come quickly and explain the situation to yourself.”
