Sai Durgha Tej named Most Desirable at Eugenix Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards South 2025
The glamorous event celebrated fashion, personality, and screen presence, honouring exceptional talents across multiple categories. Among the evening's highlights was popular actor Sai Durgha Tej being crowned Most Desirable (Male), with music director Devi Sri Prasad presenting the award. In a heartfelt gesture, Tej invited his parents, Vijaya Durga and Dr. Siva Prasad, to join him on stage to accept the honour.
Dedicating the award to his mother, Tej reflected on her unwavering support after his life-threatening accident. 'When I thought everything was lost, my mother stood by me, gave me courage, and brought me back to normalcy,' he shared.
Speaking earlier on the red carpet, Tej emphasised comfort and peace of mind as his style priorities, citing Ram Charan and Pawan Kalyan as his style icons — with Charan's look in Orange topping his list.
Tej's upcoming action drama Sambarala Yeti Gattu (SYG), co-starring Aishwarya Lekshmi, is set for a grand pan-India release in late 2025.

Pooja Hegde breaks the mould
Many actresses who start their journey in South Indian cinema and later move to Bollywood often paint the South industry in a negative light. They accept glamorous roles during their prime, but once they gain traction in Bollywood, they claim the South failed to recognize their talent, dismissing the roles they once embraced as mere glamour doll parts. Pooja Hegde, however, has taken an entirely different stand, earning praise for her honesty. Though she began her career in Bollywood, it was Telugu and Tamil cinema that gave her the most substantial roles and memorable hits. In a recent interview, Pooja candidly admitted that Bollywood never offered her strong, performance-driven characters, often casting her solely for glamour appeal. She revealed that most of her Hindi film roles lacked depth and were far from memorable. In contrast, she lauded South cinema for giving her well-crafted, challenging roles that allowed her to showcase her acting skills. She cited her recent Tamil film Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, as a prime example, calling her character 'brilliantly designed' and creatively fulfilling. Pooja also reflected on her notable Telugu projects such as Aravinda Sametha and Radhe Shyam, where she played characters with emotional depth and significant scope for performance. She contrasted these with her Bollywood portfolio, pointing out that apart from her debut Mohenjo Daro, most roles offered in Hindi cinema were purely glamour-focused. Her refreshing acknowledgment of South Indian cinema's value stands out in an industry where many tend to favor Bollywood narratives, making her remarks a breath of fresh air for regional film fans.
