Pooja Misrra is an Indian actress and model born in Delhi and raised in Mumbai. She trained in classical dance and built a career in Bollywood through supporting and character roles. Her notable film appearances include Luck By Chance (2009, directed by Zoya Akhtar) and Krrish 3 (2013, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra). She has also appeared in television commercials and short films. In October 2011, she entered Bigg Boss 5 on Colors TV as one of the original contestants. Her time in the house was defined by almost constant conflict with her fellow housemates and weekly nominations. She was ejected from the house on Day 54 (Week 8) following a physical altercation with a co-contestant — a dramatic expulsion that made national headlines. She finished tenth overall. Post-eviction, she repeatedly alleged that the show was rigged and made several high-profile public statements, including filing complaints with broadcasting authorities, which generated further controversy.
