Her crossing the 1 million mark was not just organic but also extremely rapid for a new kid on the block.

Observed an industry insider, "Pooja's look in Mohenjodaro and her regular appearances span such versatility. She manages the period drama process and the regular fun young gal with as much ease and elan. Until the release of the film, she was under wraps a fair bit and people saw her only in princess mode and via social media post the film, audiences got a chance to see her for who she is in general. This versatility and variation has helped her garner immense popularity amidst the youth and also with the brands who are constantly seeking strong young faces to represent them."
