Gurinder Kaur Kainth (born 4 December 1980), popularly known by her stage name Miss Pooja is an Indian singer and actress who primarily sings Punjabi songs in Bhangra, Pop and Folk genres.

Personal life

[edit]

Miss Pooja was born to Inderpal Kainth and Saroj Devi in Rajpura, Punjab. She obtained her B.A. in Vocal and Instrumental Skills from Punjabi University and pursued her M.A. in Music from PGGCG Chandigarh, followed by a B.Ed. in Music. She subsequently served as a music teacher at Patel Public School in Rajpura. Miss Pooja also became affiliated with the BJP and was put forth as a candidate for the Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha reserved constituency. Political analyses suggested that her candidacy was intended to appeal to the Dalit community, to which she belonged, as the constituency was reserved for Scheduled Castes. However, she refuted such claims during her briefings to news channels.[1]

Career

[edit]

In 2006, Miss Pooja launched her professional career with the release of the duet song "Jaan Ton Piyari." She served as a judge on the Punjabi singing reality show, Voice of Punjab.

Her journey in the music industry began in 2006 with her debut duet "Jaan Ton Piyari". Progressing further, in 2009 she released her first solo album, Romantic Jatt, featuring the music video for her song "Do Nain", shot in Toronto, Canada.

Expanding her repertoire, Miss Pooja ventured into acting in 2010 with her roles in the films Panjaban and Channa Sachi Muchi. Continuing her multifaceted career, she released her third solo album Jattitude in 2012, accompanied by the music video for "Shona Shona", filmed in Hong Kong. Furthermore, she marked her Bollywood debut with the song "Second Hand Jawani" from the movie Cocktail.

In subsequent years, Miss Pooja continued her cinematic journey with the release of her third film, Pooja Kiven Aa in 2013, followed by Ishq Garaari.
