By working across genres and portraying a striking mix of unapologetic and down-to-earth roles, Pooja has established herself as a versatile actress, who is leaving a mark across film industries.

With acclaimed South films such as Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Beast, and Radhe Shyam, among others, Pooja Hegde solidified herself as one of the most sought-after actresses.

Audiences not only hailed her screen presence in films, but her hook steps also created a wildfire among her fans, leaving many creating a storm on the internet with a string of reels and dance videos.

After cementing herself as a prominent figure in the South, Pooja Hegde stepped into Bollywood with Mohenjo Daro, and since then, there has been no looking back for her. With Hindi films like Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Housefull 4, Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and others, Pooja Hegde stretched her range to newer levels, becoming a rare actress to become a director’s favourite and beloved among the audience.

At times when 'pan-India' is still discussed, Pooja Hegde has stayed ahead with her game of justifying pan-Indian actress in its truest terms.
