Veteran actress, Poonam Dhillon is often regarded as one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation. The 1978 Miss India pageant winner had worked and romanced many A-listed actors on the big screen during her time in Bollywood. But in real life, she was exactly the opposite, as Poonam was quite shy and a bit introvert. However, the actress had broken million hearts when she had got married to producer, Ashok Thakeria in 1988. After some years of their wedding, the couple welcomed two kids, Anmol and Paloma, in their happy married life.
Everything was going well in Poonam Dhillon and Ashok Thakeria's married life, but sadly in 1994, reports were rife that Ashok was allegedly in an extra-marital affair with another woman. The news and media reports had broken Poonam's trust in her husband, and she had filed for divorce in court.

Soon in 1997, Poonam and Ashok had parted ways with each other. After which, Poonam had taken care of their kids and raised them single-handedly. Fast forward to 2022, and Poonam's daughter, Paloma, is all set to make her acting debut in Bollywood. Here's everything you need to know about her.
In May 2022, Rajshri Films announced the name of the actress, who they'll be launching opposite Dharmendra's grandson and Sunny Deol's son, Rajvir Deol, in his debut film under the renowned banner.

In the pictures shared by the production house, Paloma Thakeria Dhillon looked gorgeous in a turquoise blue lehenga which was designed beautifully with silver embellishments. The young diva looked simply breathtaking, and the close-up picture had shown her uncanny resemblance with her mother, Poonam Dhillon. Along with the pictures, Rajashri Films had penned an announcement note in the caption, and it could be read as:
"Rajshri Productions is proud to announce Paloma opposite Rajveer Deol in Rajshri's next, helmed by Avnish Barjatya. A memorable journey begins!"
Although Paloma Thakeria Dhillon is all set to make her acting debut in Bollywood, not everyone is aware of the fact that during her school and college time, she used to play football on a regular basis. The young diva was so much into the game that there was a point in her life when she wanted to become a professional footballer. However, in the later years, she developed an interest in dancing and modelling.
After which, she had reportedly participated in the Femina Miss India competition and had won it. Not only this, but Paloma is also a great dancer. One of her dance videos had gone viral on social media in 2019, and since then people have been waiting for her acting debut in Bollywood. Time and again, Paloma had also dropped sizzling and drool-worthy pictures of herself on social media that had proved she was very much Bollywood-ready. Check out some of her most shared pictures on social media:
Moments after Rajashri Films had made the announcement on social media, it was Paloma Thakeria Dhillon's mother and veteran actress, Poonam Dhillon, who couldn't hold on to her emotions as she had penned an emotional note on Instagram. The doting mother had congratulated her daughter and had admitted how much proud she was of her. In her note, Poonam had also told Paloma that her years of hard work and dedication had finally paid off as she was all set to make her acting debut in Bollywood under the prestigious production house, Rajshri Films. Poonam's note in the caption could be read as:
"Congratulations Darling @palomathakeriadhillon on your superb launch with the most prestigious @rajshrifilms #sooraj barjatya @avnish.barjatya . Your amazing hard work, commitment, talent is rewarded with this beautiful launch . God Bless you with super success & may you shine in all you do . Love you!! So proud of you."
It was in 2020 when in an interview with ETimes, Poonam Dhillon had opened up about the struggles of being a single mother. However, she had also admitted that her ex-husband, Ashok Thakeria was a constant support system for their kids, Anmol Thakeria Dhillon and Paloma Thakeria Dhillon, even after their divorce in 1997. The actress had shared that she had never stopped her kids from meeting their father because she was aware that a child needs both mother and father. Reflecting on the way she and her ex-husband, Ashok had taken care of their kids, she had said:
"I am a single mother in technical terms. But my kids (Anmol, Paloma) have always had their father's (Ashok Thakeria) support. They talk to him every day. They even go and meet him whenever they want to. A child needs father and mother, both. Bringing up children always has a bigger role for the mother. In India, we still haven't reached that stage fully where all fathers get involved as much as the mother. But it's changing no doubt, many youngsters relish this responsibility. All said and done, I have loved the job of parenting and feel very proud when my children are praised."
We hope Paloma Dhillon takes her mother, Poonam Dhillon's legacy onward and upward in the Indian cinema to a whole new level with her hard work and dedication.
