Actor Shruti Haasan, daughter of Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan and actor Sarika, recently opened up about being misunderstood because of her ‘bold’ voice. She shared how despite being a soft person, she is often taken to be ‘rude’ only because of her voice. She also opened up about her father having a problem with the ‘vocabulary’ she uses with her friends.
Shruti said she is a very “sensitive” person who can cry at the drop of a hat. She told Film Companion, “I’m very sensitive with the people around me because of kind of being a loner or a lone wolf. In the business, I’m not going to call mom and dad, I’m going to handle it myself. I have developed an exterior that doesn’t really match my interior.”
With that ‘tough’ exterior comes her ‘voice’ which the singer-actor addresses sarcastically as a ‘gift’. Shruti added, “With that came this voice that I’ve been gifted with which is obnoxiously loud and bossy and its tonality. I was telling my mom the other day about something really weird happening. Then, my team was like, ‘We know you, you’re a sweetheart, it’s your voice, it’s the way you say things’. And, I was like, what is it? So, my mom said, ‘If you were a guy and you had this voice they would say, ‘Kitna assertive hai, kitna clear hai vo banda aur voi sabko itne pyar se lead karta hai (How assertive and clear that man is! He leads everyone with utmost love). The same voice with me is unbecoming.”
But, Shruti says unaffected by what people’s opinion is about her voice. “I’ve not been able to change it and for those who love me, love me. For those who think I’m rude, they do, but these small things, even the throw of your voice is judged.”
The actor also shared that sometimes her father, Kamal Haasan objects to the language she uses with her friends. She said, “I can be quite potty-mouthed with my friends. As my dad says, ‘Do you not have a good enough vocabulary that you resort to cuss words?’ But that I feel is also not so much a female trait.”
In the times of social media, when people judge celebrities for everything they say and do, Shruti feels everyone should do and say what they want to. “Now everyone has an opinion on everything. You have to say it, you say it. I don’t go out of my way to offend anyone. But, if something is offensive to me, I will say it,” the Salaar actor concluded.
Meanwhile, the actor has recently released a new single titled Monster Machine, which she calls the celebration of the dark feminine energy. She will ne next seen on the silver screen in Prashanth Neel’s Salaar.
