Overview
- Unverified posts attribute to Pooja Hegde a claim that an early‑career co‑star entered her caravan without permission, behaved inappropriately, and was slapped by her, with later scenes allegedly completed using a body double.
- While Mid-day and WION published accounts presenting the episode as her recollection, Times Now, India Today, and Bollywood Life cite denials from her team and note the absence of a confirmed interview or video.
- Industry tracker Ramesh Bala called the circulating interview content “100% fake” on X and urged users not to share it.
- The co‑star has not been publicly identified, no formal complaint tied to this reporting has been noted, and social media speculation and name‑guessing continue.
- The renewed attention coincides with Hegde’s Jana Nayagan promotions, as coverage also highlights the film’s censor‑related delays now in court.
