pooja hegde stirred curiosity on social media when she wished tamil superstar Suriya on his 50th birthday by sharing a video of herself cutting a cake on the sets of her upcoming film Retro. The clip, which showed her smiling and celebrating with the crew, initially left fans puzzled — many wondered why pooja was cutting a cake on his birthday. The absence of Suriya in the video further fueled speculation, with netizens questioning the relevance of the footage to the actor’s milestone celebration.
As the video gained traction, it was later revealed that the clip was actually from pooja Hegde’s own birthday celebrations, which had taken place earlier on the same set.
