Pooja Hegde recently made headlines after walking out of the sets of her upcoming film, where she is paired with a popular star hero. According to reports, the actress was visibly upset with the unprofessional behavior of the lead actor, which ultimately led to her decision to leave the shoot. Tensions reportedly escalated when the star insisted on adding an unplanned, fast-paced "Kuthu" song to the schedule, a move that seemed unnecessary to both pooja and certain members of the crew. To make matters worse, she was asked to don a revealing short dress for the sequence, something she was not briefed about beforehand. The sudden shift in plans and lack of communication left the actress frustrated, but the final straw was yet to come.

Sources from the set revealed that pooja, ready for the shoot, waited in her caravan for over 75 minutes, expecting the actor to arrive. Despite the crew’s attempts to get things rolling, the star hero reportedly failed to show up on time, allegedly caught up in his "other" personal pursuits. This blatant disregard for her time and the chaotic handling of the schedule didn’t sit well with Pooja. Known for her professionalism and commitment to her craft, she found the situation unacceptable. With a packed calendar of high-profile projects, she couldn’t afford to waste her call sheet waiting for someone who didn't respect the team’s time. Her patience ran out, and she made the bold choice to walk out of the sets, making it clear that her career didn’t have room for such unprofessionalism.

Pooja’s firm stance has sparked discussions in the industry, with many praising her for standing up for herself. It’s not the first time an actress has spoken out against disorganized shoots and unprofessional behavior from male co-stars, but Pooja's reaction serves as a reminder that the dynamics in the film industry are changing. She has several prestigious projects in her pipeline, and her decision to prioritize her work ethic over unnecessary compromises has only strengthened her reputation as a dedicated and self-respecting artist. While the producers are now left scrambling to address the fallout and reschedule the shoot, pooja remains focused on her other commitments, proving once again that talent, combined with self-respect, speaks louder than anything else in showbiz.
