The actress has received numerous accolades for her achievements in the film fraternity and has also appeared in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list for two consecutive years.

She recently sat for a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia and shared how her father gets upset when she talks about growing up in an atheist home.
Shruti Haasan’s father, Kamal Haasan, doesn’t like it when she talks about growing up in an atheist household
Shruti Haasan has often spoken about her childhood being chaotic. However, it was during a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia when she revealed how much her father hated it when she talked about her non-religious home and later embracing her own spiritual path. The actress recalled her parents would try to figure out how to be parents as she watched them raise her and her sibling. She added that the concept of God was extremely foreign to her, but somewhere in her brain, she knew art was God. She was quoted as saying:
“We grew up in an atheist home; a non-religious home. My dad hates it when I say this, but we didn’t have God at home. None of that stuff that other homes have. It’s so alien, the concept of religion and God. Somewhere, in my child brain, I knew art was God. Every day of the week would be devoted to artistic endeavours.”
Kamal Haasan is not a fan of astrology either
In the same conversation, Shruti Haasan revealed that her father, Kamal Haasan, was not a fan of astrology either. However, her father gave her the freedom to explore her own beliefs without interference. During the conversation, Shruti also admitted to practising the Wiccan religion, which involves elements of witchcraft. Speaking about astrology, she said her father dislikes even hearing the word. She was quoted as saying:
“If you went and said astrology to my dad, he’d be like, ‘Get out.'”
Shruti Haasan revealed that her parents can gauge people better than therapists
In the same conversation, Shruti revealed that her father was an extremely practical man. She added that both her parents, Kamal and Sarika, have been actors from an extremely young age, and that has made them excellent readers of human behaviour. She was quoted as saying:
“He is very practical. He can gauge people better than therapists because he’s been acting since the age of four, and so has my mum. They’ve become readers of people, better than therapists and psychologists. It’s literally their survival instinct as actors. He has become more relaxed as a human being; now, with age, he has mellowed.”
Shruti Haasan’s upcoming project
Shruti will next be seen in the film, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat. Bollywood star, Aamir Khan will also be making a cameo in the film.
