Last Updated:
Actress Pooja Hegde shared her homesick remedy on Instagram, enjoying tea with Parle-G biscuits. She is working on Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain with Varun Dhawan.
Being an actor means staying away from home for long periods of time, and everyone ends up inventing their own way of overcoming their feeling of being homesick. Through her latest Instagram post, actress Pooja Hegde shared that one of her favourite homesick remedies is to enjoy a hot cup of tea with some yummy Parle-G biscuits.
The 'Retro' actress dropped a clip on her Instagram handle, where she was seen enjoying this beloved combo. She was heard saying in the background, 'Simple joys to make me feel like I am at home". Taking out one of the biscuits from the pack, she said, 'Dubaoing (dipping) this in my chai". After treating herself to this soul food, Pooja proclaimed at last, 'Oh my God! This is some dangerous stuff." Her post further included the caption, 'Nothing screams home like parle g in my chai…Homesick remedies."
On the work front, Pooja is busy with her next 'Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain," which is being made under the direction of David Dhawan.
With Varun Dhawan as the protagonist, the highly-anticipated drama enjoys a stellar cast including Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela, along with others.
On May 30, Varun announced that he had wrapped up the Scotland schedule of the movie.
It is also believed that the title of the drama, 'Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain" has been derived from the song 'Ishq Sona Hai" from Dhawan's 1999 hit 'Biwi No.1," starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen in the lead.
While not much has been disclosed about the film's storyline, it is reported that 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" will incorporate the charm of the classic 90s rom-coms.
Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of TIPS, the release date for 'Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain" has not been disclosed yet.

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos recalls launch of 'Scared Games', calls Indian entertainment market
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 8 (ANI): Nawazuddin Siddiqui's 'Sacred Games' was India's first original web series, directed by Anurag Kashyap and released on Netflix in 2018. The series is considered to have marked a significant shift in India's digital entertainment landscape, underscoring the potential of web series and streaming platforms in India. Netflix's Co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, recently opened up about the platform's expectations from the Sacred Games, as it was their first big web series venture in India. In a wide-ranging conversation with Nikhil Kamath on his podcast, CEO Ted Sarandos recalled the platform's early creative choices in India, particularly 'Sacred Games', India's first original web series. Sarandos noted, 'It was very, very novel (Sacred Games), but I didn't realise that we were going to be introducing a brand new kind of entertainment to a country the size of India.' The Netflix co-CEO also acknowledged the broader learning curve of the OTT platforms in India. Despite the early struggles, Sarandos said that he believed in India's huge entertainment market capacity before launching India's first original web series. 'Early on, it took us a couple of years to get the product-market fit right, including payment systems and all those things. We knew that India was going to be a slower journey, but it's a great prize at the end of the day. Right now, you can see how fast Indian households are adopting fixed broadband, big-screen TV is growing - the addressable market in India is exploding in the next couple of years. So it's exciting,' said Ted Sarandos at Nikhil Kamath's podcast. Sarandos also discussed the timing of the show's launch, saying, 'If I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later? Maybe.' However, this statement didn't sit well with Anurag Kashyap as he believed his directorial 'Sacred Games' was launched at the right time. Taking to his Instagram handle, Anurag expressed his displeasure, sharing a screenshot of a report on Sarandos' comments on Nikhil Kamath's podcast. In a post, he wrote, 'He should have started with Saas Bahu... he would have done well. Which he is doing now. I always knew the tech guys are dumb when it comes to storytelling, but @tedsarandos is the definition of dumb - that I didn't know. Good to discover that. This explains everything now.' 'Sacred Games', starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was widely praised upon its debut and marked a pivotal moment in India's streaming content landscape. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, the gritty thriller was lauded for its storytelling and production value, although its second season drew mixed reactions, and the series was not continued beyond that.
