I had a very good experience while working in regional films. I have been very fortunate that way. There is no doubt that the South Indian film industry is very much at par with Bollywood.
For me, education is very important. It opens up vistas of life and makes it easy for you to deal with it, because if you learn from other people's experiences, it enhances your life.
Over the years, I've not had the courage to get into theatre, but after I did my first play, 'The Perfect Husband,' I couldn't wait to be on stage again.
We cannot generalise anything in life. We cannot say media people are like this, film people are like this, or doctors are like this.
I am not someone who will bare my soul on Twitter. If I am angry with somebody, I will abuse them there, if I am happy, I will express it there.
On stage, you have to hype yourself for two hours. It takes up a lot of energy, leaving me totally exhausted.
You cannot say the whole industry is bad. There are bad people, but there are many good people as well.
I feel our life is a miracle, it is finely tuned, computerised and run by one master. You can call him by any name. It is one universal power and hence I would say that God is everywhere.
I was just 15 years old when I came from Chandigarh, which was a very small town then. I became part of the entertainment field after winning the Young Miss India contest.
I used to brush aside when people used to say 'Poonam, you're different.' It was much later that I realised, I was different.
