Poonam's mother did not support her initially

In one of her interviews, Poonam says that working in films was quite challenging for her at that time because her mother did not want her to go into films at all. When she told her mother that she had got a chance to act in 'Trishul', it was quite shocking for her mother and she did not even talk to her for many years.
