Pooja Hegde is spending her time this Diwali at home. The beauty is celebrating the auspicious occasion with her family members.

The SSMB28 actress has revealed that she was born around the time of Lakshmi puja. That's why the 'Maharshi' actress considers the festival all the more personal. The actress' name itself owes to the coincidence. Her parents deemed it fit to name her 'Pooja' because of her birth around the puja time. So, she wasn't named 'Pooja' just because it is a common name in many parts of the country.

The 'Aravindha Sametha' and 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' star sees Lakhsmi's Grace as all about being financially independent and secure.

The pretty damsel recently had a fall while shooting for the big-ticket Bollywood film 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', owing to which she suffered a ligament tear. She is recovering from the injury. SSMB28 and a few other films are going to keep her busy for the most part of 2023.
