Miss Pooja was born to Inderpal Kainth and Saroj Devi in Rajpura, Punjab.

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]
