Family first—that’s the mantra Pooja Hegde lives by, even as her star rises in South and Hindi cinema. On March 1, she melted hearts across Instagram with a sweet tribute to her parents’ wedding milestone.
The post featured a precious childhood memory: her parents romantically sharing a glass drink with two straws, Pooja playfully copying them. The cheeky caption read, ‘The child is just like the parents,’ trailed by ‘Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy, I love you ❤️.’
Social media erupted in adoration, with followers showering anniversary blessings on the couple. Pooja’s post beautifully captures the essence of inherited quirks and unwavering love.
Her accomplished family adds depth to the story. Father Manjunath Hegde commands respect as a criminal lawyer. Mother Latha Hegde is an immunologist-entrepreneur expert in immune systems. Elder brother Rishabh is an orthopedic surgeon par excellence.
Pooja’s slate is packed with hits. She’s starring in Tamil’s ‘Jana Nayakan’ with Vijay Thalapathy, helmed by H. Vinoth—poised to be Vijay’s last before political pursuits. Hindi audiences await her in the fun-filled ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ directed by David Dhawan, co-starring Varun Dhawan.
In an industry of fleeting trends, Pooja’s anniversary homage stands as a touching ode to roots, blending nostalgia with her glittering career trajectory.
