Pooja Hegde balances Hindi and South films while embracing fashion as an empowering tool.
“Fashion empowers me. It’s like wearing a character—transforming how you feel,” says Pooja.
Her style blends oversized tomboyish fits with feminine flair—what she calls “Tomboy Femme.”
Twelve years in cinema shaped her evolving fashion sense, marked by hits and misses.
“One miss I’m still cracking? Sleek hair! It’s tricky but I keep trying,” she laughs.
From Maharshi to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Pooja’s career has been a vibrant roller coaster.
In Retro with Suriya, she plays a de-glam village girl, embracing simplicity and empowerment.
Her exciting lineup includes Jana Nayagan with Vijay and David Dhawan’s film with Varun.
“I’m working in three languages this year—expect comedy, masala, and meaningful roles.”
More Hindi films, more South films—I want my work to transcend languages, Pooja shares.
