Pooja Hegde is zooming ahead as one of the most sought after leading ladies in South Indian cinema. She is currently part of two massive projects namely 'Radhe Shyam' costarring Prabhas and Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar which are in various stages of production.

Pooja on Thursday took the jab of her first dose of COVID 19 vaccine at the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. She shared a pic of the moment where we see her face wince and she wrote ""Jabbed!...The last time Latha Hegde (Pooja's mom) took me to get vaccinated, I was probably 2. She added " "When you are hiding your fear with a smile."

Pooja tested positive for the coronavirus in earlier this year and she quarantined herself for nearly a month and recovered completely. Only after the locdowns were eased she resumed shooting of her films.
