Last night, something unsavoury came from Pooja Hegde's Instagram account. The 'Maharshi' and 'Aravindha Sametha' actor's post said that she doesn't think Samantha Akkineni looks pretty. On Thursday morning, Pooja took to Twitter to say that her account was hacked.

Not ready to buy into the 'Housefull-4' actress' explanation, thousands of angry fans of the 'Majili' and 'Oh Baby' actress have started trending #PoojaMustApologizeSamantha hashtag on Twitter. A fan, getting imaginative, claimed that Pooja is jealous of Samantha because the latter has reportedly bagged a film opposite Mahesh Babu.

On the other hand, Pooja's supporters have embraced their favourite actress' explanation. "Why would any actress, who has got a great year ahead, make a silly remark against an accomplished actress like Samantha? Pooja has never been known to speak out of turn or speak disrespectfully. She is a dignified actress," a fan said on Facebook.

Pooja is a rising star in Telugu cinema, as her big-ticket outings show. Prabhas' 20th film is the best proof. On the other hand, Samantha saw her fullest glory in the 2010s, having acted opposite almost all the big names of Tollywood.
