On Mohenjo Daro Sets, Hrithik Roshan ‘Fed Chalk’ to Pooja Hegde

Actress Pooja Hegde is all set to make her debut in Bollywood with Hrithik Roshan in Mohenjo Daro, and the actress said that she was nervous while sharing screen space with Hrithik.

Did she get the jitters?

“Of course. He (Hrithik) is a really good actor. The plus point of working with him is that you are so involved in a scene that acting for me became easier. Since it’s my debut film, I was a bit worried. But because of his level of intensity in a particular scene, I was just reacting after a point rather than acting. It’s good to work with someone like that,” Pooja told IANS.

So, who broke the ice?

Hrithik answered this one.

“I broke the ice with a chalk. I fed her some chalk. She was looking for diet food and I offered her a protein bar but it was actually a chalk that I had found on the set. She ate it up and later, I told her that it was actually chalk,” he said.

Pooja shared that she and Hrithik had met during a test shoot as well.

“I think the ice broke when he (Hrithik) thought that I was from south India,” said the actress, who has featured in southern films likeMukunda and Mugamoodi.

Reminiscing about that day, Hrithik said: “I even asked her, ‘When are you going back?’ She said, ‘I am going back at 6 pm’ Then I asked, ‘What time is your flight?’ She asked ‘What flight? I live in Bandra.’ I thought she lived in south India.”

Mohenjo Daro, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, will release on August 12.
