Pooja Hegde who is predominantly a Telugu actor has done two Hindi films in Mohenjo Daro and Housefull 4. Now she will be seen in the films Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and Cirkus.
The popular Telugu actress was quizzed recently on why she is mostly seen in the Telugu space and not frequently in the Hindi space. A report on hindustantimes had Pooja answering this and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
“It was a conscious decision to not do Hindi films. I didn’t want to do them just for the sake of it or do roles that didn’t matter to the storyline. I’ve been offered films opposite big stars but those characters didn’t add any value to the script.”
“My biggest boon is that the Telugu audience has accepted me as one of their own. The south has given me so much respect. And that gave me strength to pick and choose the films I want to do in Hindi. Sometimes, it [Bollywood] can be a little unforgiving if you aren’t from a film background or you don’t have the push; it takes some time to get the kind of roles that you want to do,” Hegde elaborates.
Well, this is an interesting answer coming from Pooja.
