Leggy lass Pooja Hegde was introduced with the much-hyped Tamil film Mugamoodi starring Jiiva and later made her debut in Telugu with Naga Chaitanya's Oka Laila Kosam. Then she was seen in Varun Tej's debut film Mukunda. Pooja got a big offer in Bollywood at the very early stage of her career with Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro. But, the film became a flop crashing her Bollywood dreams.
With Allu Arjun's DJ, Pooja made her re-entry into south films and became a star heroine eventually playing female lead in almost all star heroes films. She also scored success in Hindi with Housefull 4. She ruled Tollywood for a couple of years until last year when all of her films resulted in box office failures.
Earlier Pooja Hegde was linked to a Karnataka-based cricketer and then recently when she was doing Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan with Salman Khan, dating rumours with him surfaced. Salmon attending Pooja's brother's intimate wedding sparked these rumors. But, Pooja denied them.
Now, reports are rife that Pooja Hegde is going to marry a star cricketer who is based in Mumbai. Pooja has yet to make any statement or clarification regarding this, but she doesn't have any signed films at the moment. She even left Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram and no movie has been officially announced so far.
