The recent Indian 2 audio launch in Chennai was poignant moment for Shruti Haasan as she took the stage not only to showcase her musical prowess but to pay homage to her father, the iconic Kamal Haasan. Reflecting on the experience, she shares, “It was really amazing performing for the Indian 2 audio launch and for dad, paying tribute to his iconic songs.

Me and the band had an amazing time putting together a whole medley.” Both success and failure have been integral parts of Shruti’s journey. When asked about her perspective on these aspects, she emphasises their role in personal and professional growth.

“They are part of learning the process of life. I’ve learned a lot from both, which is important for developing character and your spirit as a person and your soul as an artist,” she explains. Balancing acting and music in the demanding realm of showbiz is no mean feat.

Shruti acknowledges the challenges, revealing, “It’s definitely been hard. Acting requires a lot of time, but I’m now balancing my time better in movies so that I can do more music.” Despite the juggling act, her passion for both mediums remains unwavering.

“To be very honest, the main focus for many, many years has always been, and will probably continue to be, movies,” she adds. In her cinematic endeavours, Shruti harbours a penchant for comedies and thrillers, gen.
