Poonam joins Rajshri camp

Ekta Kapoor's discovery, Poonam Joshi ruffled a few feathers when she walked out of Balaji's Kahiin Toh Hoga for a lead role on Zee's Tumhari Disha. But the latter show soon went off air leaving Poonam on a lookout for roles. And finally her wait has paid off! She has been roped in by Rajshri Productions for Woh Rehne Wali Mahlo Ki on Sahara One.

She plays Sanjana, the love interest of Aamir Ali who has already been shown married to Pari (played by Reena Kapoor). 'I was looking out for a suitable role where I could do something different from what I did in Tumhari Disha or Kahiin To Hoga. The character of Sanjana is quite interesting and it's a role of a young lover, "says the elated actor who is working with the Barjatya's for the first time.

To give some gyaan, there are three Poonam's in the telly industry; Poonam Narula, Poonam Dhillon and Poonam Joshi, who is the youngest of all. Also, what is amusing is that actor Manish Rai Sighania played Miss Joshi's husband in Kahiin Toh Hoga, while in Tumhari Disha he was her son! How uncanny can such a situation be? "It's acting at the end of the day and one is playing only a character. It makes no difference," smiles Poonam.

And what if Balaji offers her a new show? "I am very much open to the idea of working with them, provided the offer is interesting. All is well between me and Balaji," signs off Poonam.
