Shruti Haasan Offers Intimate Glimpse into Life with Father Kamal Haasan
In a recent and revealing interview, actress Shruti Haasan provided a candid look into her personal relationship with her father, the iconic star Kamal Haasan. Despite his monumental legacy in cinema, built through acclaimed films such as Nayakan and Indian, at home, he is simply a father who enjoys sharing Instagram reels with his daughter.
Learning Through Observation, Not Direct Guidance
During a conversation with Mashable India, Shruti disclosed that she has never sought professional advice directly from her father or from fellow superstar Rajinikanth. Instead, she has absorbed invaluable lessons by closely observing their behaviors and approaches. She emphasized that both Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, known for movies like Thalapathi and Shivaji, exhibit a quiet yet relentless work ethic that she finds inspiring.
"The common trait in both of them is their incredible hard work," Shruti explained. "It's not the kind where they complain or create tension. They work quietly and passionately, dedicating themselves fully without fanfare. They manage their professional commitments and family lives with immense dedication, working like beasts in a beautiful way."
A Normal Father-Daughter Dynamic Away from the Glamour
Shruti also spoke about the refreshingly ordinary nature of their bond, which stands in stark contrast to the glitz and glamour often associated with their celebrity status. At home, discussions rarely center on cinema; instead, they engage in everyday conversations typical of any father-daughter pair. One of the most endearing aspects she revealed is Kamal Haasan's fondness for Instagram reels, which he frequently sends to her.
"We are just a normal father and daughter talking about normal things," she said. "He sends me lots of reels on Instagram. Some are cringe-worthy, and I'll tell him, 'This aunty isn't funny, appa.' But he also shares really artistic content, like videos of village cooking, musicians, and art. He even sends clips of little girls singing, which feels like a sweet callback to me."
Shruti Haasan's Professional Endeavors and Upcoming Projects
On the work front, Shruti Haasan continues to make strides in the entertainment industry. She was recently seen alongside Rajinikanth in the film Coolie, which achieved strong box office performance. Looking ahead, she has several projects in the pipeline, including Aakasamlo Oka Tara and Salaar: Part 2. Additionally, her song Pavazha Malli, composed by Sai Abhyankar, is gaining significant popularity across various music platforms.
This insight into Shruti's personal and professional life highlights the balance between family normalcy and cinematic excellence, offering fans a deeper understanding of the Haasan legacy.
