She has also been part of shows like, Dil Hi Toh Hai and Kartik Purnima,
Poulomi definitely proved to the world that it is high time when people should happily accept their skin colour and flaunt it with pride. We live in a nation where Gods and Goddesses like Krishna, Jagannath Ji, Maa Kali, show off their skintone, so why are we obsessing over fair skin tone?
