“Lock Upp” contestant and fashion designer Saisha Shinde expressed her grief after Poonam Pandey’s death claim. Now that the truth has come out, Saisha wrote, “You should be ashamed, very disappointed. I called you my friend. You are not worthy of being my friend. You called this awareness? Stop the nonsense. My mother had a double mastectomy (breast cancer surgery) and is battling cancer. My sister’s kidneys failed, and she passed away. My aunt died from mental illness and she can never come back like you. Death is not a joke. Death is not a publicity stunt. Shame on you. Poonam Pandey, you have played with our emotions, and I will never forgive you. Never. Am I happy that you are alive? Absolutely, I am grateful to God, but you have lost me forever.” What has happened to the world? Who are these people?”
