The Kanpur-born actress first gained fame during her modeling days, establishing herself as a social media celebrity by frequently sharing striking photographs. Her rising popularity led her to Bollywood, where she made her debut in 2013 with the film Nasha.
Following her entry into the film industry, Poonam featured in several Hindi and regional movies, expanding her presence in the entertainment world. She has also made her mark in reality television, participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 4 and Kangana Ranaut’s Lock Upp. Currently, she is hosting the reality dating show KINK 2.
Having worked as both an actress and a successful content creator for years, Poonam has built multiple streams of income. On the occasion of her birthday, it is worth taking a closer look at her net worth and how she generates her wealth. As of 2024, her net worth is estimated to be around Rs 85 crore. A substantial portion of this fortune comes from her appearances in films such as Nasha, Malini & Co., The Journey of Karma, and Love Is Poison. Additionally, her participation in reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi 4 and Lock Upp has significantly contributed to her earnings.
In 2017, Poonam launched The Poonam Pandey App, which she later claimed was banned by Google. According to a report by The Indian Express Indulge, in 2020, her net worth was estimated at approximately Rs 52 crore.

Over the years, Poonam has been approached multiple times for Salman Khan’s controversial reality show Bigg Boss. Speculation about her participation was particularly high during the show’s seventh season. However, despite multiple rounds of negotiations, she ultimately declined the offer, as the remuneration of Rs 2 crore did not meet her expectations.

As she turns a year older, her journey continues to be one of intrigue, glamour, and unapologetic self-expression.
