In a turn of events that has caught the attention of Bollywood enthusiasts and gossip columns alike, the acclaimed actress Pooja Hegde was seen in the company of her family and a special guest during a recent luncheon. The occasion was to celebrate her father’s birthday, but it was the presence of her rumored boyfriend, Rohan Mehra, that became the focal point of media buzz.
The intimate gathering, which took place on Wednesday, was captured in a video that later circulated on social media, offering a glimpse into the celebration. Hegde, who has dominated both the Telugu and Hindi film industries with her notable roles, donned a chic pink Drew t-shirt paired with jeans for the occasion. Her companion, Mehra, opted for a laid-back look, sporting a white t-shirt and beige trousers.

Rohan Mehra, the son of the late celebrated actor Vinod Mehra, has been in the limelight following his Bollywood debut in the 2018 film ‘Bazaar’, which saw him sharing screen space with veteran actor Saif Ali Khan. Prior to this sighting, Mehra’s name had been linked with ‘Student Of The Year 2’ star Tara Sutaria, but speculation about their separation began to circulate as early as May 2019.
Distinguished for her work in Telugu hits like ‘Oka Laila Kosam’ and ‘Saakshyam’, as well as Hindi blockbusters including ‘Housefull 4’, ‘Mohenjo Daro’, and ‘Cirkus’, Hegde’s success is recognized far beyond her hometown of Udupi, Karnataka, a region where Tulu is the native language spoken by the Bunt community to which she belongs.
Last month, Hegde’s journey in the pageant and film industry seemed to come full circle as she joined the panel of judges at the grand finale of Miss World 2024. During an interaction with the press, she mused insightfully, “I feel that life has come full circle because I was a runner-up at the pageant but today I’m judging the pageant. My best wishes to the participants and whoever wins the competition but if someone doesn’t win, it’s not like their story is over. It’s your story and you decide what happens in your story. Continue to work hard and be dedicated and set your goals and wait for it. Believe in yourself and it’ll all work out. I hope my story inspires all the girls out there.”
On the professional front, Pooja recently graced the silver screen in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ alongside Salman Khan, a film crafted under the direction of Farhad Samji. The movie’s ensemble cast includes Venkatesh Daggubati, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla, Vijender Singh, among others, filling pivotal roles.
Looking ahead, Pooja is set to enthral audiences in the forthcoming film ‘Deva’, sharing billing with the versatile Shahid Kapoor. The action-packed thriller, directed by Rosshan Andrrews and produced in collaboration between Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films, is set for a Dussehra release in October. Alongside this, she’s slated to appear in ‘Sanki’ with Ahan Shetty, marking yet another exciting project on her horizon.
As these developments unfold, fans and followers of Pooja Hegde eagerly anticipate her upcoming performances, while also keeping a close watch on the developments in her personal life, notably her rumored association with Rohan Mehra.
