Poonam, who was last seen on reality show Bigg Bosson TV, says that she has always been a front-runner and has always done things ahead of time, “I've realized that I've pioneered many things and have been a front-runner in a lot of things. I did many things ahead of time. I did Television before any film personality did it. I in fact started doing theatre before a lot of film people started doing it and I started my website before anybody else. I did it some 18-20 years ago when nobody had even thought about it. Then I had also started a talent portal called Star Ya Kalakaar,” shares Ponam.

The actress, who is back on TV with Ekk Nayi Pehchaan, says working in daily soaps is taxing, “Television is something which I did many years ago but daily soap is all together a new ball game. It’s very taxing and strenuous because now I am working for almost 30 days in the month. I try to wrap up by 8 so I can spend some time with my family in the evening. And I think being away from home for 12 hours is enough,” concludes Poonam
