Jhanak actress Dolly Sohi, currently battling cervical cancer, has spoken out against Poonam Pandey for perpetuating her fake death announcement.

Expressing her disapproval, Dolly shares her thoughts on the insensitive stunt, revealing how it affected her during her ongoing health struggle. She also says that it shook her inner strength and this was not the way to spread cancer awareness. For those who have come in late, Poonam Pandey's manager had earlier posted on the actress' Instagram account that she had succumbed to cervical cancer.

Dolly Sohi has been a vocal advocate for cervical cancer awareness since revealing her diagnosis. The actress has been actively sharing her journey on social media, aiming to inspire others with her unwavering determination and courage. Amidst her own health challenges, Dolly Sohi was caught off guard by the shocking news of Poonam Pandey's fake death hoax. She emphasise the importance of approaching serious health issues with sensitivity.

The actress says that she is highly emotional and she can cry anytime because of people like Poonam Pandey. Dolly also says that Poonam made a big joke about cervical cancer.

"This is not a way of doing publicity or the campaign or the promotion or the awareness. People who are already fighting and going through this pain, going through this treatment, it is very difficult for them to digest that 'oh sh*t she was just 32 and she passed away'. When I read this news yesterday I was shaken up. She was all fine and I was in disbelief that a girl doing so fine, how could she die? I was scared and my inner strength had shaken up." Dolly tells ETimes.
