Poulomi Das’ social media following

A popular face online, Poulomi has amassed a sizable social media following, with 166k followers on Instagram. She has opened up about being bullied because of her dusky skin colour in the past. In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar four years ago, Poulomi said, “Even though I am dusky, I am proud of it. I love myself even if people don’t. People need to stop judging others.
