Tying the knot
The year 1988 brought many changes in Poonam's life. She broke up with Raj and a few months later, she lost her father. In the same year, she met her future husband and got married. She was at a friend's farmhouse for Holi celebration but was sitting in a corner as she was mourning the loss of her father. It was then that Ashok Thakeria noticed her. The producer was mesmerised by her beauty. He wanted to cheer up Poonam and poured a bucket of water on her. Poonam was taken aback but liked his gesture.
Ashok started sending flowers to her. Soon they got close and it was in the same year that they got hitched. Poonam's well-wishers were apprehensive about her decision as they thought that it was Poonam's rebound period. According to them, she took the decision of getting married in haste.

The rocky road
Poonam took a break from work after getting married to Ashok Thakeria. The couple was blessed with a son and then with a daughter. Two years after getting hitched, Ashok got busy with her work and Poonam found herself missing the entertainment world. She started working on the silver screen but that wasn't enough for her.
In 1994, Ashok had an extramarital affair and that's when the marriage actually started to crumble. Poonam didn't try to hide her husband's doing and had an extramarital affair herself to give her husband a dose of his own medicine. In 1997, Poonam filed for a divorce and got the custody of her kids.
The show must go on
After facing a rough patch in her life, Poonam picked herself again because the show must go on. She started her own business and took care of her children. She participated in Bigg Boss and did films as well. By 2010, she was back in form and hasn't looked back since then.
Poonam Dhillon might have seen the ugly side of life but with her courage and determination, she was able to stand the test of the time. She is an epitome of strength and we hope that she sees nothing but the sunshine in her life.
