Poonam Pandey promoting breast cream

In 2013, she was the female lead of the film 'Nasha', a teacher who ends up having a sexual relationship with one of her students. While one of social media stated that she "excels as a seductress" in the role, another state run news paper stated she "does not play seductresses but a proper, responsible drama teacher" and that "Pandey makes an effort but isn't quite there".
