Pooja Hegde became face of a fairness cream campaign and therefore, she got opportunities to enter into the film world. She was highly interested in the field but she did not find instant success.

After 4 - 5 years after her debut, she found her career defining hits. She began to mould herself according to the requirements of the script and films. She became top-most actress now in Telugu and she has her eyes set on Hindi too.

The actress is keen on not repeating the mistakes she did in her initial days. She said that she worked on films by trusting directors than looking at the scripts. Now, she wants to give ample time for discussion on scripts and narration, it seems.

Post lockdown, she wishes to meet her friends in person and after that she wants to resume shoot with all possible safety measures. She also wants to be part of those films that have high entertainment and story value, it seems.
