I really liked Poonam and her singing. Where is she? How is her singing career faring?

She is working for the railroad but how is her career?

Would be a shame not to hear her ever again :(

I don't know if your posting this because you don't know or rather because you do know ... but it was recently in the news that Poonam Yadav attempted suicide. An unfortunate event, but I hope that she's doing better now. She's a wonderful singer.

Where was i?? why did i not see it before? im ashamed of myself.

This is rumor is disgusting

apparently, the reason behind Poonam's suicide attempt is an abortion she had six months ago. We also heard that a few weeks ago, Poonam and Ismail were spotted together at some festival at Varanasi."

This is sad. God how could people make pass such cheap rumors around!

I hope Poonam is okay though, and whatever the reason for suicide - one should never give up hope on life though - Poonam is strong, im sure she would come out as survivor.

God bless her.

We are people, not pawns - Ismail Darbar

April 10th, 2009 - 9:08 pm ICT by sampurn
News about Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 contestant Poonam Yadav's attempt to commit suicide on Saturday afternoon has left many shocked. Several rumors have been doing rounds since the unfortunate incident. The tragic incident has set tongues wagging with many blaming music director Ismail Darbar. He was her mentor on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and the two were rumored to have shared a close relationship.

But the music director Ismail Darbar has lashed out all allegations by saying, "Controversies have always been my middle name. But when it comes on your izzat, you cannot sit quietly and take things lying down."

Ismail Darbar refers to the story in a tabloid where they accused him of being responsible for Sa Re Ga Ma contestant Poonam Yadav's supposed abortion and a suicide attempt that followed. Incidentally, the journalist spoke to Ismail Darbar when he was performing his mother's last rites, and called him a pretender and went ahead and printed the story based on a phone call without even bothering to contact Poonam or her mother.

He further speaks, "She said once on the show that her father died when she was still in her mother's womb. I told her in the show that day that I am your father from today. I will see that you achieve your dreams. I don't make statements in the air. I say what I feel." Ismail Darbar is angry at journalists who resort to cheap yellow journalism to sell tabloids. "It is quality that makes you sell. Not cheapness," says Darbar who has sued the paper for Rs 25 crore. "I am a respectable man, a father of five children. I have three teenaged kids who have to face the world. My sisters are getting questions from their in-laws. Why? Who is responsible for this? And what right do people have to accuse and write on people without proof? Even if they did write without investigating properly, post my notice and the realization that the news was false; the paper should have clarified and restored my dignity but they failed to do so. What score did they have to settle? Since they did not think twice before tarnishing my image, I will stop at nothing now," thunders Darbar who unlike his fiery self, kept mum till the time he found out that Poonam had no affair or abortion and the sleeping pill overdose was done in a fit of depression. "They accused that I had an affair and was responsible for her abortion. I got her a flat in Mumbai, went with her to Varanasi and what not? So much muck thrown at my reputation without even an ounce of truth How dare they?"

Continues Ismail, "My anger and usual fiery self would not have helped her. I did not know if she really had an affair with some local boy and had an abortion and did that trauma make her take a drastic step to try and end her life. Those questions could only be answered by Poonam and no one else. Only she could clear my name as I was completely innocent. My entire family prayed for her, and I asked my wife to call and inquire the truth post her coming into her senses. When she revealed that in her life, there was neither an affair nor an abortion, I decided to go ahead and say what I was suppressing all along. If this girl had died, I would have had to spend my entire life telling people I was framed. At least today, she came out, thanks to Allah, and is speaking out," storms Darbar who feels that even if he weren't Ismail Darbar the personality, he would still stand up for what is right. "Zulm sehna bhi utna hi gunaah hai jitna ki karna," he says. "I will make sure I get justice and so does Poonam. We are people not pawns." - Sampurn Media

Poonam Yadav hits back

April 11th, 2009 - 2:12 pm ICT by sampurn
By Dhanashri Kulkarni

Poonam Yadav ex-contestant of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2007 is angry at her character assassination by the tabloid and fiery when she stands by Ismail Darbar refuting the baseless accusation.

Poonam Yadav speaks,

"Ismail Darbar and Ayesha Darbar (Ismail's wife) has been my pillar of strength and support. I am from a very poor family and they gave me money, bought my clothes and treated me like one of their own children. Every Id and Diwali, I would get clothes like their kids and when I had no money, they would take care. If I wanted to eat something, Ayesha would prepare the dish for me. "

Further she speaks, "The last few months, I was so stuck with financial trouble that I did not see it right contacting my mentors as I did not want the call to be mistaken as a call for help. I have to stand on my own now and make my future and not trouble Ismail or Ayesha Darbar with my problems. It was one day when I was upset and tired after spending sleepless nights on my financial troubles when I took an overdose of sleeping pills to sleep, not realizing the severity of it. I woke up two days later at the hospital to see Sir's name being dragged into an alleged controversy not even an alphabet of which was true. Couldn't the so-called journalists have waited for two days for me to regain consciousness? At least they could have talked to my doctor if not me!"

Poonam further clarifies that she didn't had any intention to die,

"It is people who write things like this. I was depressed due to poor financial conditions and the fact that my house fell in land which would be taken away by the government when I had just spent a lot to make it pucca, This is a lot for a girl like me who has to shoulder a lot of burden from childhood. It is appalling that the junta gets to read lies from two senseless so-called journalists who misused their pen to malign my character. Didn't they even think twice about penning such cheap things about my mentor and me? If not as tabloid journalists, at least as women, they should have thought twice." - Sampurn Media
