Disturbed and appalled by Poonam Pandey’s stunt regarding Cervical Cancer, actress Shefali Jariwala just took to her social media and slammed the Nasha actress for playing on emptions of people whose family members are going through cancer ordeal, in this case, its Jariwala’s father. 
 
Sharing a picture of her father and mother from hospital, Shefali wrote, “Deeply saddened and hurt how some people can use CANCER for publicity. I cant believe how insensitive people are. I don’t know Poonam Pandey at all , but the fake drama of her demise to cervical cancer deeply affected me. I felt so scared for my father” 
 
“The last few months have been difficult as my papa has been undergoing treatment for Colon Cancer - stage 3.” 
 
“Not being able to sleep all of last night and being anxious as f*#k makes this me so angry. In the name to creating awareness pls stop playing with people’s emotions ! Creating awareness on a SM platform is one thing but faking your own death is so low…This is not a joke… cancer is not a joke! This Picture is from November 2023 , right after his second surgery this year. Love and strength to all cancer survivors and people battling it! Don’t let this cheap publicity stunt shake you. You guys are warriors #poonampanday” added Jariwala. 
 
Poonam Pandey’s stunt was aimed to create awareness, but it looks like it has backfired, celebs like Pooja Bhatt, Nikki Tamboli, Arti Singh, Aly Goni, Kushal Tandon, Rakhi Sawant and more have already called her out for such cheap gimmick.
