Portrayed by	Pamela Hayden

Poonam Nahasapeemapetilon is one of The Nahasapeemapetilon Octuplets. She is one of the daughters of Apu and Manjula.

History

She, along with the rest of the octuplets are a result of fertility drugs taken by Manjula, after she and Apu decided that they wanted a baby. However, Apu and Manjula swiftly find they are not up to the task of raising eight kids all at once. After talking with Larry Kidkill, the octuplets are put in a nursery at the Springfield City Zoo, where they are put on display in a show named "Octopia", several times a day. After Apu and Manjula are displeased by this, he and Homer decide to break the children out of the zoo.

Individual Activity

While the octuplets are usually shown as a group, each of them can occasionally be seen involved in doing things apart from the rest of the octuplets. Some of Poonam's activities consist of:

• Eight Misbehavin': Being washed by Manjula at the zoo and starring as Dazzle in "Octopia".
• The Sweetest Apu: Running on top of a hotdog warmer and stepping on the condiment dispensers with Nabendu at the Kwik-E-Mart.
• Bart-Mangled Banner: Strangling Anoop with a licorice stick and crawling under Marge Simpson's legs.

Trivia

• Poonam's first word was "mommy".
• When Poonam was a star in the show, "Octopia" at the Springfield City Zoo, she was known as "Dazzle", who is dressed as a cabaret girl and sits in a small crib that rocked a little to simulate dancing. Apparently, she wasn't too popular among the audience, based on reviews.
• When Springfield changes its name to "Libertyville" to be patriotic after it is claimed that they hate America, Apu briefly changes Poonam's name to Apple Pie McGillicutty.
