The news of the death of model and actress Poonam Pande due to cervical cancer sent a shock wave amongst her fans. Besides mourning her death at a young age, people also started searching for the causes of cervical cancer.
The mystery of the controversial figure Poonam Pande has deepened as no confirmation of her death or the location of her dead body is known. Poonam Pande has been in the news because of her controversial statements, which include stripping in the stadium if India wins the cricket World Cup in 2011. India did win the World Cup. She made a statement that BCCI did not allow her to run naked in the stadium.
Many feel that the news of her death due to cervical cancer could also be a publicity stunt. However, nothing can be said unless the truth comes to the light.
None of Poonam’s close friends or relatives, including her assistant, knows her suffering. She must have suffered pain before she died. Information about her visiting a doctor must be known to her assistant who also worked as her driver.
Cervical cancer is considered to be most dangerous among women after breast cancer. One in eight cervical cancer patients dies in India. The prevalence of cervical cancer in India is a major concern. It can be treated if diagnosed at an early stage. However, the health of women is the last priority in our social set-up. Poonam was not dependent on her family for her health issues. She could have consulted any medical practitioner on her own.
None including the person who broke the news of her death has confirmed it from any known source.
Nothing, however, can be said unless exact details about her death comes to the fore.
