Shruti Haasan calls parents Kamal Haasan, Sarika ‘stubborn people’; recalls shifting to Mumbai when they divorced

Reflecting on how difficult it was to escape her father’s fame while growing up in Chennai, she explained, “It’s not just that my dad is an actor or a famous person, I knew from childhood that he was different from anyone I met. I was brought up by two stubborn people and that rubbed off on me and my sister. I moved to Bombay when they separated. I never enjoyed being Shruti here. It’s difficult to separate from his fame when there are appa’s posters all over the place. Today, I don’t even want to imagine Shruti without Kamal Haasan.”

Shruti made her acting debut in Bollywood with the film Luck (2009), followed by her Telugu debut in Anaganaga O Dheerudu and Tamil debut in 7aum Arivu, both in 2011. Apart from her acting career, she is also a playback singer and has her own music band. Shruti was last seen in Prashanth Neel’s Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire and has Salaar Part 2 and Rajinikanth Coolie in the pipeline.
