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.
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.
"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 reporters.
The 19-year-old claims that despite some brickbats, many people came out to support her decision.
"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.
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.
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.
"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.
Poonam is also looking forward to meet Akshay, who has been her favourite since childhood.
"I have been watching his films since childhood. He is a great actor. I am looking forward to meet him," she added.

After watching her in a remixed song in the upcoming film Dum Maaro Dum, IndiaInk Invention got in touch with the model-turned-actress and requested her to visit their first-ever convention which took place here on April 10.
They were keen on her presence at the expo as they consider the Om Shanti Om actress to be the "tattoo queen".
However, the actress could not attend the convention as she was abroad for a film shoot.
The convention's organiser Manoj Thakur, Partner at Par Excellence Entertainment, said, "Deepika's absence was felt, especially at an event that she would have readily identified with.
With her own much-written about RK tattoo at the base of her neck and the cutting-edge Dum Maaro Dum tattoo she's seen sporting in the movie, she would have been the perfect ambassador for this tattoo expo."
As Deepika was shooting in London for Desi Boyz, she could not attend the event, but forwarded the invitation to her Dum Maaro Dum team. Abhishek Bachchan, Prateik and Rohan Sippy attended the convention instead.
The cast of the film launched the special Dum Maaro Dum tattoo at the convention.
Well this isn’t the first time for the hot and sensuous Minishaa Lamba. A cover page of a glamour magazine had once projected the gorgeous babe sizzling in her two pieced bikini. The latest version of another such journal projects her again in an eye catching two pieced bikini. The dazzlingly bright looking bikini suits her to the tee with the actress posing on a sea beach. Impressed as she was with her snaps, the actress had the similar ones posted for a well known social networking site.
Making it to the cover page of a magazine meant for men would definitely leave an enchanting influence on the readers of the opposite sex especially those belonging to teen age. However, in order to influence the producers and directors of Bollywood she needs to make use of her acting skills as well. It is good that she is photogenic and comfortable in a wide variety of outfits, but she needs to bring other aspects of acting to the fore for overall success.
