She never feels even the slightest bit removed from the Rukku universe. This performance is notable for its profundity as much as its simplicity. Pooja expresses a wide range of emotions through her silence, even though Rukku doesn't always talk much. In a manner that words would not have adequately conveyed, her eyes convey anguish, hope, love, and resiliency.
That emotional fluidity is uncommon and poignant. Pooja's rendition of Rukku turns it into a visual representation of "softness in strength." She exudes a natural charm that doesn't require much effort, a quiet resolve, and a warmth that makes her seem familiar. She is the girl next door in every aspect—not in a clichéd sense, but rather in a way that feels genuine and surprisingly kind.
