I’m not often shocked when it comes to stars pulling publicity stunts. But the case of Bollywood actress Poonam Pandey has me floored. While I understand the drive to call attention to health issues, faking your death from a Cancer you don’t have is just infuriating. The actress and model posted a message on her Instagram account recently, telling her 1.4 million followers that she had died of Ovarian Cancer, only to make a video a few days later revealing she is alive and well.
