Who is Pooja Hegde?
Pooja Hegde is one of Indian cinema’s most versatile pan-India actresses — equally at home in Telugu blockbusters, Hindi entertainers and Tamil productions. Born on October 13, 1990 in Mumbai into a Tulu-speaking Mangalorean family, she completed her B.Sc. in Mass Media from Mumbai University. She was crowned Miss Universe India 2010 — representing India at the Miss Universe pageant that year — before transitioning into acting.
She made her acting debut in the Telugu romantic drama Oka Laila Kosam (2014) opposite Naga Chaitanya and was later seen in the Tamil film Mugamoodi. Her career skyrocketed with back-to-back pan-India blockbusters — Mohenjo Daro (2016) with Hrithik Roshan, Duvvada Jagannadham (2017), Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020), the massive Pushpa: The Rise (2021) with Allu Arjun, Radhe Shyam (2022) with Prabhas, Beast (2022) with Vijay, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023). She has worked with virtually every major star in South and Hindi cinema and has over 37 million Instagram followers — one of the highest among South Indian actresses.
Pooja Hegde stars in Jana Nayagan — one of 2026’s most anticipated Tamil films — alongside Vijay, directed by H. Vinoth. The film is expected to be a massive commercial entertainer. She also has Surya vs Surya in her upcoming pipeline. With Pushpa 2’s global success still fresh, her association with the franchise continues to keep her among the most recognised faces in Indian cinema worldwide.
