Career
Poonam Dhillon first gained fame when she was crowned Miss Young India in 1978. Director Yash Chopra noticed her and offered her a role in the film “Trishul” (1978), where her song “Gapoochi Gapoochi Gum Gum” with Sachin Pilgaonkar became popular. Chopra then gave her the title role in “Noorie” (1979) opposite Farooq Shaikh, a film he produced. “Noorie,” shot in Bhaderwah, Kashmir, became a superhit and a phenomenal success at the box office, partly due to Khayyam’s music. Poonam was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her role in this film.
She went on to act in around 90 Hindi films, including “Sohni Mahiwal,” “Red Rose,” “Teri Kasam,” “Dard,” “Nishana,” “Yeh Vaada Raha,” “Samunder,” “Romance,” “Kasam,” and “Sitamgar.” She was paired with Rajesh Khanna in six films: “Dard,” “Nishaan,” “Zamana,” “Awam,” “Red Rose,” and “Jai Shiv Shankar.” She made a special appearance in “Judaai” as a favor to producer Boney Kapoor when Juhi Chawla had to drop out. Poonam also appeared in regional films such as “Nyay Danda” (Bengali), “Yuddha Kaanda” (Kannada), “Ishtam” (Telugu), and “Yavarum Nalam” (Tamil), as well as “13B: Fear Has a New Address” (Hindi).
In 2009, Poonam was a contestant on Season 3 of “Bigg Boss” aired on Colors TV, where she ended up as the second runner-up. Her big comeback on Indian television in a lead role was with the serial “Ekk Nayi Pehchaan” on Sony TV in 2013, where she played the uneducated yet ideal wife of a rich businessman.
She has been involved in Hindi theater, starring in the production “The Perfect Husband,” which won the best comedy play award in 2005 and completed a Golden Jubilee run. She then did another play, “The Perfect Wife,” co-starring Sooraj Thapar, and “Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi” with Asif Sheikh. She was also seen in a play called “U Turn,” the Hindi version of a Marathi play. Poonam ventured into the make-up van business, pioneering the concept in the Indian film industry.
