THIS actress became a TOP star without a single bollywood blockbuster

Big Co-Stars, Bigger Expectations

She’s shared screen space with Bollywood superstars like Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, yet none of her Hindi films have managed to make a lasting mark at the box office.

No Blockbusters, Still in the Spotlight

Despite her Bollywood outings underperforming, her charm and talent have kept her name buzzing in film circles.

Ruling Beyond Bollywood

While her Hindi films didn’t strike gold, she found tremendous success and admiration in the South Indian film industry, becoming one of its most sought-after stars.

From the Ramp to the Reel

Before stepping into acting, she made waves as a model, gracing fashion weeks, magazine covers, and major brand campaigns across India.

A Top Earner Without a Hit

With an estimated net worth of ₹55–60 crore, she’s among India’s highest-paid actresses, proving that consistency and popularity can matter more than box office numbers.

The Big Reveal – It’s Pooja Hegde!

Yes, the actress is Pooja Hegde, who has worked with Hrithik Roshan in Mohenjo Daro and Salman Khan in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

Mixed Fortunes in Bollywood

Her other films, including Housefull 4, Cirkus (with Ranveer Singh), and Deva (with Shahid Kapoor), failed to click with audiences despite high expectations.

Queen of Versatility and Perseverance

In the South, Pooja has delivered major hits like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Maharshi, Radhe Shyam, and Most Eligible Bachelor. Her journey shows that resilience and talent can outshine box office numbers.
