Pooja Hegde recently spoke about dealing with social media hatred
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Pooja Hegde recently spoke about dealing with social media scrutiny. She was quoted as saying, “When it started, my mom was really upset by reading stuff. But I used to take it as a compliment, because I think that if somebody feels the need to pull you down, you’re above them. Also, I genuinely think that Karma is a thing, and whatever you put out there, good or bad, comes back.”
Further continuing the conversation, she spoke on the difference between social media followers and actual ticket buyers saying, “There are followers, and today its great to influence people on what you say and to reach out to them and in that way. But they are not translating to tickets. People who are paying money and watching are the real ones I need to worry about.”
Meanwhile, Pooja Hegde recently made headlines for her special appearance in the song Monica from Rajinikanth’s Coolie. On the Hindi film front, is gearing up for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, opposite Varun Dhawan. Apart from this, she also has Jana Nayagan, which marks Thalapathy Vijay’s last film and Kanchana 4.
