Pooja Hegde, a beloved actress known for her work in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil films, is celebrating her 34th birthday today. As we honor this special day, let’s take a trip down memory lane to revisit an old interview where she shared a heartwarming anecdote about her experience with the legendary Salman Khan on the set of their film “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.”
Born on October 13, 1990, Pooja Hegde ventured into the entertainment industry through beauty pageants, paving her way to success. Her collaboration with Salman Khan in “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan” marked a significant milestone in her career. Throughout the film’s promotions, she couldn’t stop gushing about the wonderful time she had working alongside the superstar.
Fans were captivated by the on-screen chemistry between Salman and Pooja. However, in a candid interview with News18 Showsha, she fondly recalled a funny incident from their initial meeting. Pooja admitted that she accidentally referred to Salman Khan as “Bhai,” following the trend set by everyone else. It’s no surprise, given that the whole world affectionately calls him by that title.
Even in the film, other characters playfully address him as ‘bhaijaan.’ To add a comedic twist, Pooja’s character mistakenly continues the tradition of calling him ‘bhai,’ much to the audience’s amusement.
When asked about Salman’s reaction to her slip-up, Pooja shared a delightful insight into their dynamic. Initially, Salman suggested she address him by his name, but Pooja felt more at ease with a formal title. After a brief exchange, they settled on the endearing abbreviation ‘SK’ for each other.
For those unfamiliar with the film, “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan” was helmed by director Farhad Samji and hit the screens on April 21, 2023. The movie also featured a talented ensemble cast including Vijender Singh, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Shehnaaz Gill, and Palak Tiwari, among others.
As we celebrate Pooja Hegde’s birthday, let’s cherish the heartwarming camaraderie she shares with Salman Khan both on and off the screen. Their endearing bond serves as a reminder of the magic that unfolds when two talented souls come together in the world of cinema.
