Poonam Kaur is an Indian actress and model who primarily appears in Telugu and Tamil films.[3] [4] She is also a politician, based in Telangana and a member of the Congress Party.[5]
Career
[edit ]Born and raised in Hyderabad, India,[1] Poonam Kaur did her schooling in Hyderabad Public School, before doing fashion designing at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in Delhi.[1] In 2006, after her studies, she signed up for a film to be directed by Teja, which didn't take off for unknown reason. However, she took an offer for another Teja film, Oka Vichitram.[1] Even before the release of that film, Kaur was pursuing a lead role in another Telugu film, Mayajalam , which released first.[1]
Subsequently, she appeared in several Telugu films as Nikki And Neeraj, enacting the title role of Nikki, and in Souryam , alongside Gopichand and Anushka Shetty. For her performance in the latter, Kaur received a nomination for the Best Supporting Actress Award for 2008. She made her acting debut in the Tamil and Kannada film industries, with S. A. Chandrasekhar's Nenjirukkum Varai and Bandhu Balaga , respectively. In 2010, she made a comeback in Tamil with the highly anticipated Unnaipol Oruvan , a remake of the 2008 Bollywood film, A Wednesday! , in which she played a small supporting role alongside Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal. Recently, she was nominated as a brand ambassador for the Miss Telangana event.
