Pooja Hegde, a popular actress in Tollywood, has bagged a special guest appearance on Star Sports Telugu. She is set to showcase her love for cricket and her favourite cricketer on the program, which aims to bring the best of cricket and entertainment together.

Pooja is an ardent cricket lover and looks up to the legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni for his captivating personality both on and off the pitch. In her recent appearance on ‘Cricket Live: Ata Unstoppable’, the Telugu surround program, she asserted that Dhoni is her favourite cricket player.

The 32-year-old actress further credited the Telugu film industry for providing her with the platform to grow and achieve success. She will next be seen in the Bollywood movie ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, opposite Salman Khan, which is set to release on April 21.

In addition, Pooja expressed her support for her home team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), as they gear up to take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 18, 2023.

Talking about Dhoni, the veteran cricketer proved his mettle once again during his outing against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). He smashed an unbeaten 32 (17), which included three sixes and one four. However, despite his efforts, his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fell short of three runs at the end, resulting in their second loss of the season.

Pooja’s appearance on Star Sports Telugu and her upcoming movie with Salman are significant milestones in her career. Her passion for cricket and her Telugu roots have played a crucial role in shaping her journey to success. With her talent and dedication, she is sure to achieve greater heights in the entertainment industry.
