Pandey said she did it to raise awareness for women who have actually died from cervical cancer. "Deeply saddened to inform you that we have lost our beloved Poonam to cervical cancer," a post on Poonam Pandey's Instagram read. I didn't die because of cervical cancer. But this is not just lip service, instead I'm committing my entire body to the service of Cervical Cancer." The American Cancer Society recommends women undergo cervical cancer screenings starting at age 25.
