She took to her X account and tweeted, "Poonam Pandey was highly criticised, to state it politely, for the way she lived. She showed us to live unabashedly, believe in herself, she exposed the hypocrisy in our fake~puritan drama, and in her passing, the star child she is, has created such an awareness for HPV cancer, making this place better than how she found it."
She added, "Thank you for traveling through earth, Poonam. Safe travels and I wish you a kinder Universe, elsewhere. I wish you dont come across humans if you so wish to reincarnate. You deserve better."
The actress was last spotted at a public event in Mumbai 4 days before news of her death broke on social media. According to the latest post on her Instagram handle, Poonam Pandey passed away due to "cervical cancer."
The latest Instagram post on Poonam Pandey's handle, shared on Friday morning, read, "This morning is a tough one for us.

Her manager issued a statement which said, "Poonam Pandey was not only a luminary in the film industry, but she was also a beacon of strength and resilience."
