Pooja Hegde, who has carved a successful career in both the South Indian and Hindi film industries, enjoys a massive fan following. She will next be seen alongside Vijay in Jana Nayagan, which releases in theaters on July 23, 2026.
Recently, during an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Pooja shared several interesting anecdotes about her co-stars. Speaking about Ranveer Singh, she revealed that she fondly calls him “Pammy Auntie.”
Explaining the nickname, Pooja recalled that Ranveer once advised her to always give her best in advertisements, saying that many people who haven’t seen her films – especially her work in the South might first discover her through brand commercials.
She also shared a memorable moment from the sets of Cirkus, where Ranveer walked in with music playing and performed an entire song for everyone while they waited for the shoot to begin. According to Pooja, his habit of wanting to know absolutely everything earned him the nickname “Pammy Aunty.”
The revelation has since gone viral on social media, delighting fans. On the work front, Pooja will also be seen opposite Dulquer Salmaan in the romantic drama Sri Sri and in her upcoming horror-comedy film Kanchana 4.
