She debuted in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Mohenjodaro opposite Hrithik Roshan. Thereafter we saw her predominantly in Telugu and a few Bollywood films. Pooja Hegde set the ball rolling into the big league with the festive release of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan or KKBKKJ opposite Salman Khan. The promotions saw her throwing a curveball with a carefully curated promotional arsenal with a distinct summertime edgy-chicness in all of the looks. The thriving vibe of her style play is minimalism. She has also earned a penchant for pulling off vibrant hues, unconventional silhouettes and risque cuts flipping seamlessly, from traditional to neo-ethnic to contemporary. Additionally, Pooja’s free-spirited charm and apparent spunk seal her tryst with style.

Pooja pulls off minimally chic and experimental styles effortlessly. This renders her a worthy designer’s muse at major fashion weeks. She goes on to scale up her fashion arsenal every now and then with the styling sensibilities of not one particular fashion stylist but choosing one as the occasion demands. For Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan too, Pooja collaborated with stylists Mohit Rai and Ami Patel. Here’s a closer look.
