Leggy actress Pooja Batra, who starred in films like Virasat, Haseena Maan Jayegi etc., maybe missing from
the Bollywood scene after she tied the knot with hubby Dr. Ahluwalia; however she still continues to make
her presence felt in Bollywood in a rather unique way.
At the previews of Kambakkht Ishq which took place yesterday, viewers were surprised to see Pooja's name
being featured in the opening credits of the film. Considering that Pooja has been missing from the Bollywood
action for a while now, we decided to find out why she was being thanked by the makers.
Speaking to a spokesperson from Sajid Nadiadwala's office, we got the information we wanted. "Pooja was
instrumental in fixing meetings with Hollywood bigwigs such as Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and
Brandon Routh.
Pooja, as we all know, is now based in LA since a few years and when we got to
know that she is in touch with some Hollywood bigwigs, we immediately asked her if she could help us set a
meeting with some of them.
She was more than helpful and coordinated a lot in getting the
Hollywood stars on board. Hence, it was apt that we thank her for this sweet gesture, " said the
spokesperson.
Pooja was even present at the special screening of the film which took place on Wednesday night.
One thing is for sure, Pooja is well connected not just in Bollywood but even in Hollywood.
