MRamya, here is a good description: http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/pronouns-personal.htm

Personal pronouns are just a special type of pronoun. Some other types are possessive pronouns, like whose or their, demonstrative pronouns like these or those, indefinite pronouns like someone or anybody, and interrogative pronouns like who or what.

For the record 'whose' is a relative pronoun and 'their' is a possessive adjective.
