<p>The model attracted criticism with her offer, which she claims was declined by BCCI. But it has helped her land a spot on stunt reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' on Colors.<br /><br />The model says she has been offered film roles and item songs in Bollywood but does not believe that her bold image will have a negative impact on her acting dreams.<br /><br />"I don't think that my bold image will hamper my career. My decision to go naked was for my nation and not a cheap publicity stunt. That does not mean that I will strip in Bollywood. I want to act just like any other actress," Poonam told PTI.<br /><br />The 19-year-old claims that despite some brickbats, many people came out to support her decision.<br /><br />"After I said that I will strip, there were a lot of people who supported and understood my sentiments. I don't understand why few people had to behave like the way they did and create an issue out of nothing," she said.<br /><br />Poonam, who faced the camera for the first time during Gladrags and went on to become a Kingfisher model, says she is keen on working in films and wants to become a successful actor.<br /><br />For now, Poonam wants to focus on 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 4', hosted by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. The show will be shot in Cape Town, South Africa.<br /><br />"I am preparing myself for the show, I practice underwater swimming. It is very different from other reality shows. They are just fake," she said.<br /><br />Poonam is also looking forward to meet Akshay, who has been her favourite since childhood.<br /><br />"I have been watching his films since childhood. He is a great actor. I am looking forward to meet him," she added.</p>
