An Indian actress fakes her death to raise awareness about cervical cancer. "Yes, I faked my death.
I know it's extreme," an Indian actress and reality show contestant, Poonam Pandey, acknowledged this Saturday. The news of the death of Pandey appeared in the Indian media last Thursday through his representative, but it was last Friday when it caused more impact on television and newspapers. According to data from the Global Cancer Observatory (Globocan), every year India registers 123,907 new cases of cervical cancer and 77,348 deaths.
