Pooja Hegde is one hot girl in Tollywood. After 'Duvvada Jagannadham' her popularity chart has risen. Pooja is glad to get this sexy tag. This is because she put in an effort for this. She says that she does not want to be cute all the time.

Contrary to what image she has now, some years ago she was completely a tom boy. It was a beauty pageant that brought her to tinsel town.

Acting is interesting, but actors’ lead boring life she says. She is so worked up after all that acting that she gets tired and falls asleep. Music soothes her out and Pooja loves singing. 

Her Telugu diction needs improvement. Originally Pooja is from Mumbai and Tulu is her language. During Mukunda days she mastered the language, but now there has been a lapse. Pooja plans to work on it once again.
