In Bollywood, she next stars alongside superstar Salman Khan in the much-awaited film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. She will be seen on screen with Khan for the first time in her career and the actress says that she is very nervous.
In a recent interview with a tabloid, Pooja Hegde said, “One has to up their game when working with Salman. He has been working for years, so I am nervous. Working with stars may be intimidating, but it is a learning experience for an actor. The script is cool and funny.”
