‘Of Course, I Deserve It’: Pooja Hegde’s Response
Initially taken aback by the interviewer’s query, Pooja Hegde responded by asserting her merit. “I mean… of course, I deserve it. I think there must have been some reason jo unhone mujhe cast kiya tha woh films mein. (There must have been a reason why they cast me in those films),” she said. However, the interviewer pressed further, suggesting that many actors who transition from South Indian cinema to Bollywood struggle to work with leading stars, unlike her.
Hegde explained her perspective by citing a popular saying: “I think there’s a saying that ‘luck is when opportunity meets preparation.’ I think that’s what happened with me. When the opportunity came, I was preparing myself to be able to do it. So, if you want to call it luck, then sure.”
‘Kya Problem Hai?’: Pooja Hegde Claps Back
Despite her explanation, the interviewer persisted with another question about her film choices, implying that she selects projects based on the prominence of her co-stars. This led to an exasperated reaction from Hegde, who retorted, “Aapko kya problem hai mere se? (What’s your problem with me?)” Shahid Kapoor quickly diffused the tension by joking, “Andar hi andar ye bhi woh actors ke saath dance karna chahte hain. He wants to be you. (Deep down, he also wants to dance with those actors. He wants to be you.)”
