Actor Shruti Haasan and her boyfriend Santanu Hazarika have been in a relationship for three years and are currently living together. In a recent interview on the YouTube channel Untriggered with Aminjaz, Shruti opened up about her relationship, discussing both their toxic traits and the story of their first meeting. Santanu is a doodle artist and illustrator, who is the founder of Guwahati Art Initiative.

Reflecting on a past toxic relationship, Shruti shared insights into her previous struggles. She said, “I was in one spiralling relationship for a long time. I thought my head was on my bum because it was so chaotic. Being a singer, and songwriter, I was like this toxic thing is so tasty. Now, I am self-sufficient in my music. I can create the chaos with myself, put it in a box and put it away and have a lovely relationship with my boyfriend, with our cat in our house.”

Speaking about her toxic trait, she said, “Sometimes I go like far into the ‘I am a missfit who doesn’t belong and that is a toxic trait I have but you shouldn’t carry that when you are on a set. Even Shantanu has that trait and we both are like, ‘Look at us alone, weird,’ but that’s how toxic we get.” When asked who coincides in an argument, Shruti shared that ‘whoever is wrong coincides and we talk about it.’

Shruti also shared the story of how she met Santanu. She said, “I am working on my poetry book and Shantanu is doing the artwork for that. That’s how we met. Once, I sent him my poem and he sent an artwork in response. He slid into my DMs with Meshuggah, which is an extreme metal band that many don’t know about. I posted something about the band and he slid into my DM with lyrics of a song from the band and I was like, ‘Hmm interesting.’ Then we started talking. I sent him my poem and he responded with an elaborate artwork.”
