Bollywood star Pooja Hegde serves traditional elegance as ‘Kanjivaram Girl’

Actress Pooja Hegde has professed her love for Kanjivaram sarees and said that she is always a “Kanjivaram girl.” Pooja took to Instagram, where she shared a string of images and clips from a recent photoshoot, where she wore an exquisite aubergine and gold hued saree. She completed her look with drop earrings, a choker and bangles. For the make-up, she went subtle with nude lips and left her long straight black hair open.

She wrote: “Once a Kanjivaram girl, always a Kanjivaram girl.” Kanjivaram sarees are renowned for their South Indian origin and are made from pure mulberry silk. They are heavy and have exquisite craftsmanship. On the work front, Pooja will next be seen next in “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain,” which is being made under the direction of David Dhawan.

With Varun Dhawan as the protagonist, the highly-anticipated drama enjoys a stellar cast including Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela, along with others. The title of the romantic-comedy-drama, “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain” has been derived from the song “Ishq Sona Hai” from Dhawan’s 1999 hit “Biwi No.1,” starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen in the lead.

Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of TIPS, the release date for “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain” has not been disclosed yet. Over and above this, Varun will once again be seen sharing screen space with Janhvi in Shashank Khaitan’s “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.” These two were earlier paired on-screen in the 2023 romantic entertainer, “Bawaal”. Sanya Malhotra, Abhinav Sharma, Maniesh Paul, and Manini Chadha are also a part of the project’s pivotal cast.

Pooja was last seen in the romantic action drama film “Retro” by Karthik Subbaraj. The film stars Suriya and Pooja in the lead roles. In the film, Paarivel “Paari” Kannan, an orphan raised by a gangster, faces betrayal and a violent cult as he searches for his true origins, fulfils a prophecy, and tries to reunite with his lost love, Rukmini.

Meanwhile, Pooja revealed her favourite homesick remedy. Being an actor means staying away from home for long periods of time, and everyone ends up inventing their own way of overcoming their feeling of being homesick. Through her latest Instagram post, actress Pooja Hegde shared that one of her favorite homesick remedies is to enjoy a hot cup of tea with some yummy Parle-G biscuits. The “Retro” actress dropped a clip on her Instagram handle, where she was seen enjoying this beloved combo. She was heard saying in the background, “Simple joys to make me feel like I am at home”.
