Poonam, 26, is a BA graduate from Sanskrit Pathshala Kanya Inter College in Lucknow. Ismail Durbar auditioned her in Lucknow and after her final audition in Mumbai, he selected her in his gharana.

Poonam started young. Always interested in a career in singing, she started singing at the age of five. She learnt classical music for eight years.

"I used to give stage shows and then the head of my troupe told me to give an audition for SaReGaMaPa," she says.

"Ashaji (Asha Bhosle) is my idol, she can sing any type of song like ghazal, light, classical and filmi. She said that I will be a good playback singer," Pooja adds.

"I am close to Amanath, he is like my brother. I will miss him after this show. Life has changed after SaReGaMaPa. Earlier nobody knew me, now people talk to me and I feel nice. My friends are angry that I don't call them," she concludes.
