Pooja Hegde Facts:

• It was neither director Ashutosh Gowariker, nor Hrithik Roshan who discovered this beauty to play the lead in Mohenjo Daro, but Sunita Gowariker in a bike ad where she starred opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
• The actress is also a celebrated model down south and was a runner-up in Miss Universe 2010, and Miss India South 2010.

• There is no dearth in her talent. The 29-year-old is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer and loves to practice whenever she gets a minute.

• Now while anyone and everyone in the industry, including big names like Aishwarya would kill and die to work with Mani Ratnam, unfortunately, Pooja Hegde had to decide otherwise. When the ace director reached her with a movie offer, she had to turn him down owing to her busy calendar for Mohendo Daro.

• Despite having roots in the city of Mangalore, Karnataka, the Fair-n-Lovely model was born and raised in Amchi Mumbai.

• Having worked in many south Indian movies, Pooja Hegde has mastered many languages and can speak Hindi, English, Tamil, Tulu, and Kannada with impressive fluency.

“You have no clue how many people have been asking me about this. The rumours don’t affect me at all. As a matter of fact, there’s nothing to say about it. People can think what they want, but Hrithik and I are just good friends. He’s pretty chilled out and we share a good rapport.”

• A graduate in commerce, Pooja wanted to grow up to become a postman and considered it to be the coolest job ever. She also gave serious thought to the law as a profession. The crush of millions you young men today, Pooja says back in the day she used to be an ugly duckling, a tomboy with short hair, and the farthest thing from a glamorous actress.

• Full of wanderlust, Pooja loves her profession today as it offers her ample opportunities to trot the globe, “I love travelling and I see a new place every year. Luckily, my job helps me do that very easily,” adds the actress.
