3. Pooja has revealed that she has not only portrayed a strong woman on-screen but she has been the same in real life as well. She has given her family credit for having made her believe that, having been blessed to have grown up in one where the girl child was cherished. Pooja has joked about how her family has sported reverse discrimination where she has been preferred more than her brother.

5. She made it to the 17th position in Times of India‘s Top 20 “Most Desirable Women on Indian Television 2017”.
6. Pooja has confessed to having faced challenges when she has performed as Kali, the real one having been even to get into the skin of the powerful character. It has taken as much as 4 hours to just get ready physically and 2 hours to get out of it, with the shooting schedule having been intense and demanding. The filming has been done in a non-AC environment. The character of Kali is arduous as the actress needs to wear paint that requires multiple touch-ups, with the action sequences and dialogues having been fierce as well as challenging. The overwhelming look and feel have taken up a lot of physical energy. However, Pooja has felt truly blessed to have played the part and to have felt the pure love and reverence the audience has for Mahakaali.
