For someone as reserved as Pooja Hegde, it takes time to open up to her co-stars. However, she formed a strong bond with her co-star from her latest film. The actress kicked off the year with Deva, alongside Shahid Kapoor. Recently, Pooja spoke about her connection with Kapoor, revealing that they often went on long car rides while promoting the film.

During these rides, Kapoor shared his industry experiences with her, which she described as being as insightful as a therapy session.

In a conversation with ETimes, Pooja Hegde spoke about her bond with Shahid Kapoor, sharing that she spent a significant amount of time with him beyond Deva's shoot, especially during its promotions.

The actress mentioned that Kapoor was generous in sharing his wisdom and experiences from his journey in the industry. Reflecting on their conversations, she humorously likened them to a therapy session, appreciating the insights he provided based on his extensive career as an actor. 

In a previous conversation with Etimes, the actress reflected on her journey in the film industry, emphasizing that she has built her career independently.

She pointed out that for outsiders, success is not only dependent on audience reception but also on whether the industry itself provides opportunities. Since she does not have backing that guarantees future projects, every film holds significant importance for her.

The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actress further noted that her career has been shaped by constant effort and perseverance. According to her, each film has played a crucial role in her growth, as every project has the potential to either elevate or hinder one's progress.

She stressed the importance of resilience, stating that pushing forward after setbacks is essential to securing new opportunities, and she never takes her work for granted.
