Pooja, who recently appeared in a number of blockbusters as well as several failures, considers how her idea of success has changed over time.  She acknowledges that "my definition of success has changed over the years," but she goes on to say that this stage of her career is especially important.

"I believe that the films I choose to do this year will shape who I am as an actor for the rest of my career. It takes a lot of work to get your projects if you come from a non-filmy family. She says, "I want to go to the next level now that I've managed to establish myself to one level."

Pooja’s ambitions are clear – she seeks to work with good filmmakers, take on roles that push her as an actor, and earn critical acclaim, all while balancing the mass-appeal films that her fans adore. She adds, “That's my goal right now. I want to work with good filmmakers. I want to do the right kind of films which pushes me as an actor for critical acclaim as well.

Yes, I've had blockbuster successes. I’ve had six blockbusters back-to-back. However, I think you’re only a success until you perform the act and then you have to do it again. I don't take successes to heart because when failure happens, you have to take that also to heart.
