Poonam was one of the famous actresses of that time and was often in the discussion due to her personal life. He met in the Holi party, where friendship gradually turned into love and then he got married.
According to the report of Bollywood Shaadij, shortly after marriage, Poonam and Ashok’s wedding started having troubles, because Ashok used to give them very little time and was always busy with work. Poonam took a break from acting, but later started working again, good projects were not found. Over time, the distance in their relationship increased and they started arguing on small things.
Poonam felt that Ashok did not give him time at all, and this time was very difficult for him. Poonam wanted to get divorced and he also started taking legal help. In around 1993-94, an extra-marital affair of Ashoka came to light, which further broke his relationship, but Ashok neither rejected nor hidden it, but promised that he would be loyal now.
Poonam, who used to hide her personal life earlier, gradually started to open about it. Due to suspicion and anger on her husband, tension increased in her marriage, and Poonam had an affair with Hong Kong businessman Kiku. She used to go to Hong Kang to meet them. This was followed by difficulties and they got divorced in 1997, in which his children Anmol and Paloma’s custody were given to Poonam.

There were also rumors that Poonam Dhillon and Ramesh Talwar had secretly engaged and Ramesh also bought a bungalow for Poonam in Juhu. However, later the two separated their ways.
The next name in Poonam’s life was filmmaker Raj Sippy, from whom she wanted to live her life. But since Raj was already married and Poonam was not ready to leave his wife, Poonam had to end this relationship.
Poonam was one of the most beautiful actresses of her time and people were crazy about her.
