The 38-year-old actress, daughter of veteran actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan and former actress Sarika Thakur, spoke about the personal challenges she faced due to her parents’ separation.

In a conversation with the media, Shruti Haasan shared that she was born into a beautiful family with artistic and intellectual parents, and had many comforts. However, she saw another side of life when her parents divorced. Specifically, as a daughter, her mother’s experience taught her a valuable lesson about why independence is crucial for women.
