Actress Pooja Hegde has spoken about gender discrimination against women artists in the industry. Pooja has also shared some experiences with her.
In an interview to Filmfare, the actress was asked if she had ever had trouble with any mail co-actor? In response, she says- ‘It happens in all the industry but at different levels. Some of these are very open and some in very shuttle methods. There are small things. For example, the mail actor’s vanity stands near the van set. While we have to pick up our lehenga and run far away.

Pooja was seen opposite Shahid Kapoor in the film Deva.
I sometimes think, listen man, think about us too. We have to drag ourselves to reach our van in such heavy clothes. This is a shuttle sexism. It may also be that your name is not in the poster. Sometimes you are not even given credit, even if the film is the love story? We all have to understand that making a film is a collective effort.
Pooja further says that she has worked with many such mail co-stars, who have made their identity with decades of hard work. But where she has been technically a big star, she has been made a second -class feeling on the set.

Pooja has shared the screen with actors like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh in the Hindi industry.
Talking about the work of Pooja, he has worked in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi all three industry. Pooja has also been the runner up of Miss Universe India 2010. She started her career in 2012 with a Tamil film. His film ‘Deva’ with Shahid Kapoor was recently released. In this film, the actress played the role of a journalist.
