Chhabra made his acting debut in 2019 with Raghav Subbu’s Hindi-language online series ‘Kota Factory.’ The show follows Vaibhav (Mayur More), a 16-year-old lad who travels to Kota from Itarsi. It highlights city student life as well as Vaibhav’s efforts to seek admission to IIT by passing the JEE Advanced exam. Poojan had the opportunity to work alongside performers such as Jitendra Kumar, Ahsaas Channa, Alam Khan, and Ranjan Raj while filming the series. The show was initially shot in colour, but was subsequently converted to monochrome in post-production. This colour palette was supposed to symbolise the students’ existence in Kota, which was colourless, sad, alienated, and generally depressed.

The series is set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 6 May 2022. Talking about the story line of the series, director Aakanksha Dua said,

Home Shanti as a family drama takes a close look at the emotional journey a family makes while building their dream home. It is a breezy, uplifting and humorous drama that will make the viewer fall in love with the Joshis and root for them till the last brick has been laid. I feel incredibly grateful for Supriya Pathak and Manoj Pahwa, who brought their wondrous synergy to the drama. Their on-screen chemistry pulled at my heartstrings and I am sure they will cast the same spell on the audience. We’ve got some talented actors, Chakori Dwivedi and Poojan Chabbra as the Joshi siblings who have made the characters so loveable. Happy Ranajit as the contractor is spot on! Infact the entire cast of ‘Home Shanti’ feels like a fun ensemble and the characters grow on you. Can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction to this emotional cushion of a drama.”
