Pooja Hegde Donates 2.5 Lakhs For Cancer Patients

Pooja Hegde, one of the highest-paid actresses in the Telugu film Industry, has become a household name in no time. Stepping into the entertainment business with the Tamil film Mugamoodiin in 2012, the Mohenjo Daro actress has since then been a part of several successful films and has garnered many accolades for herself.

However, her recent act of generosity is a testimony to the fact that she also has a heart of gold. The actress made a handsome donation of 2.5 lakhs for the kids suffering from cancer in an event organized by Cure Foundation, an organization that provides funding for basic and clinical research for breast cancer, held at Golf Club, Hyderabad on Monday, January 1, 2020. She was invited as the chief guest at the event where she also appealed people to lend a helping hand for the noble cause.

Speaking on foundation’s work, Pooja said “I appreciate the foundation for the amazing work and the yeoman service it is rendering in the crusade against the dreaded disease. I am an advocate of love. Love is the strongest emotion and any act out of love can go a long way. Vijay Anand Reddy (founder of the Foundation and director of Apollo Cancer Hospital) is an epitome of that.”

Pooja is currently on cloud 9 for her latest release Ala Vaikunthapuramulo has set the box office on fire. The film has been declared a blockbuster and Pooja could not stop herself from sharing her happiness on social media. Tweeting about the same she said, “When your film becomes this MASSIVE BLOCKBUSTER HIT, the smile should be as massive”.

She will be next seen in the multilingual film tentatively titled as Jaan co-starring our very own Baahubali of the Indian film Industry, Prabhas. She will also share the screen space with Akhil Akkineni in his untitled next film.
