“I feel compelled to share something significant with you all – I am here, alive. Cervical Cancer didn’t claim me, but tragically, it has claimed the lives of thousands of women who stemmed from a lack of knowledge on how to tackle this disease,” the 32-year-old actor posted on Instagram alongside a video.

Pandey said she wants to spread “critical awareness” about the disease and ensure every woman is informed about the steps to take.
