In another video on Instagram, Pandey said, “I am alive. I did not die due to cervical cancer. Sadly, I cannot say the same for those hundreds and thousands of women who have lost their lives due to cervical cancer. It’s not because They couldn’t do anything about it because they had no idea what to do about it. I’m here to tell you that unlike other cancers, cervical cancer is preventable. All you have to do is get tested and “We have to get vaccinated against HPV. “We can do all this and more to ensure that no more lives are lost to this disease.”
In another video, shared on Instagram, Pandey apologized to her fans for spreading fake news about her death due to cervical cancer. In the video, she said: “I’m sorry for causing this tear and I’m sorry for those I’ve hurt. My intention? To surprise everyone in the conversation we’re not talking about enough. What is cervical cancer. Yes, I faked my death. Extreme, I know. But suddenly we’re all talking about cervical cancer, right? It is a disease that silently takes your life. And this disease urgently needed to be the center of attention. I am proud of what my death notice has been able to accomplish. And for those who have questions for me, I’ll see you live on Hot to Fly.”
