Poonam Pandey has left the nation shocked and furious. A day after the actress’ death was announced on her Instagram handle, Pandey came out in a video statement on Saturday morning and clarified that she is still alive.

“So Poonam Pandey had faked her death. Clarifies on Instagram. This is Beyond Shameless,” a third person wrote. Another user also explained that this is not a right way to spread awareness.
