Poonam recalls refusing to wear 'itsy-bitsy' bikini in Trishul

Poonam Dhillon, at just 16, made her debut in Trishul, facing initial resistance from her conservative family. Yash Chopra discovered her through a beauty pageant and was determined to cast her. During filming, she stood her ground by refusing to wear a bikini for a pool scene, requesting a more modest costume, impressing Pam Chopra with her self-assuredness.
