Poonam Singh is attached to stage play since her childhood.  She has worked with some of the best known figures in this field. She also formally studied drama. She obtained a diploma from the Punjab University drama department.  She then joined NSD, the most prestigious drama school in the country where only one student from each province is accepted each year, but she had to leave NSD after 6 months.  As a daughter-in-law of Preet Lari family who had been writing since her college days, she was asked to work for Preet Lari magazine after Navtej Singh, her father-in-law and editor of Preet Lari,  became ill. Later on, when her husband Sumeet Singh who was then the editor, was murdered by terrorists, she became the editor of Preet Lari. She has been editing Preet Lari now for almost 25 years. With the help and encouragement of her second husband, Ratikant Singh who is younger brother of late Sumeet Singh, she has for the last few years again started taking interest in stage play.  She has developed a unique technique of presenting short stories both for the stage and audio recordings on CDs. It is an effort to present the stories in three languages in such a way that the listeners would feel as if they were listening to a stage performance.
