Actress Pooja Hegde, one of the leading stars in South Indian and Hindi cinema, recently revealed a disturbing incident that took place a few years ago while she was working on a major Pan-India film project.
In an interview, Pooja Hegde recounted that a well-known star actor allegedly entered her caravan without proper permission. According to her statement, when the actor attempted to touch her inappropriately, she reacted instantly and slapped him. Following the incident, it is alleged that the actor refused to work with her again.
Speaking about the experience, Pooja emphasized the importance of standing up against wrongdoing without fear. “I was determined that when something wrong happens, one must question it without hesitation,” she said.
Pooja Hegde’s strong response has been widely praised by fans and social activists, who view her actions as a powerful example of how women in the film industry can confront harassment immediately. Since the news surfaced, social media discussions have intensified, with many users speculating about the identity of the unnamed “star actor.”
The incident has once again sparked conversations about whether such misconduct still persists within the film industry and the need for safer working environments for women.
