Reflecting on the Spiritual Experience
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Poonam shared her reflections on the powerful spiritual atmosphere of the event. She expressed: “Mahakumbh… Witnessing life up close, where a 70-year-old walks barefoot for hours, where faith knows no limits. Feeling deeply for those who lost their lives, hoping they find moksha. The devotion here has left me speechless… #mahakumbh.”
The Significance of the Amrit Snan Ritual
Poonam participated in the Amrit Snan during the Mauni Amavasya rituals, wearing a black-and-white kurta inscribed with ‘Om’ and ‘Mahakal’, symbols of spiritual significance. She later shared a photo from the holy dip and captioned it, “Shakti bhale hi kam ho jaaye, shraddha kam nahi honi chhaiye. Om Namah Shivaay.” In another post, she wrote, “Sab paap dhul gaye mere,” reflecting the sense of purification and renewal she experienced during the sacred ritual.
Death Hoax Controversy and Apology
In 2024, Poonam Pandey faced backlash over a death hoax that was intended to raise awareness about cervical cancer. The incident, which initially led many to believe she had passed away, was later revealed as a publicity stunt. While the stunt succeeded in drawing attention to cervical cancer, it was criticized for its controversial execution.
On February 2, a post from her Instagram suggested that Poonam had died of cervical cancer. She later clarified the situation in an apology post, stating, “I feel compelled to share something significant with you all – I am here, alive. Cervical cancer didn’t claim me.”
