  Pooja Hegde, who has successfully made her mark in both Bollywood and South Indian films, recently shared her experience of juggling work in both industries. She opened up about the challenges of managing her busy schedule and traveling between cities.

  When asked if it's tough to work in both industries simultaneously, Pooja acknowledged that "managing travel" and balancing everything together can indeed be "challenging."

  Pooja told ANI, "Some days it is, I mean, the traveling part. I have to travel, so I always like jumping between two things. But also, for example, when I was shooting for Deva, I was also shooting for my film Retro, and they both are really different characters. So being able to snap out of one and go back into the other, balancing everything together, is challenging."
