In Trishul, Poonam played the third leading actress, paired opposite Sachin Pilgaonkar. After her debut film, Poonam was seen in a few other films but it didn't benefit her much. Poonam became a star after she did movies with Rajesh Khanna. Poonam and Rajesh were seen in Red Rose, Avam, Zamana, Dard, Nishaan, and Jai Shiv Shankar. Out of these six movies, five movies were superhits. In her late 50s, Poonam also appeared in regional films such as Nyay Danda (Bengali), Yuddha Kaanda (Kannada), Ishtam (Telugu) and Yavarum Nalam (Tamil), 13B: Fear Has a New Address (Hindi).
