How ‘Mohra’ actress Poonam Jhawer became a social media sensation. Read here

Actress Poonam Jhawer made her debut in the film industry with Tilak, but it was the box-office hit Mohra, directed by Rajiv Rai, that brought her to fame. In Mohra, Poonam captured millions of hearts with her memorable performance in the hit song "Na Kajre Ki Dhar," alongside Suniel Shetty. The song was composed by Viju Shah, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi and vocals by Pankaj Udhas and Sadhana Sargam.

Despite her instant success with Mohra, Poonam was unable to establish herself as a leading actress in the film industry. She also appeared in prominent roles in films like Love Story 98 and Jiyaala, but her career failed to reach new heights. However, her absence from the silver screen has not diminished her popularity, as she has amassed a large following on social media through her dance and lip-sync videos. Additionally, she has also portrayed prominent roles in several projects in the South Indian film industry.




The reel shows her lip-syncing to a popular Haryanvi number, Gunday, sung by Naveen Chaudhary and Sweta Chauhan. Fans praised her work.

One of her highly anticipated films is 2G Radia-tion, which delves into the life of controversial lobbyist Niira Radia. The film is said to be directed by Vijay Desai and Alpesh Dixit in their directorial debut and Jhawer has stated in an interview that the team will soon begin work on the script and research Radia's life. As of now, the film remains unreleased.

In addition to acting and dancing, Jhawer has also dabbled in singing and production. She reportedly shifted her focus to production in 2003 with the film Aanch, which starred Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal, and Ayesha Jhulka. Directed by Rajesh Kumar Singh, the film received critical acclaim and moderate box office success, with a stronger following in northern India. Jhawer also started her music career with the song Sun Mori Rani for the soundtrack of Aanch.
