Shurti Haasan says shifting to Mumbai after Kamal Haasan and Sarika’s divorce was “abrupt changeover”: “It wasn’t like we moved from a mansion to another”

Actor-singer Shruti Haasan, daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, has opened up about the humbling impact of her parents’ divorce, revealing how it transformed her perspective on life. In an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Shruti shared that the separation led to a drastic shift in her circumstances, taking her from a life of luxury to navigating Mumbai’s local trains.

Shruti Haasan Recalls a Journey of Resilience and Growth After Parents’ Divorce “I was very humbled by my parents’ separation. When we moved from Chennai to Mumbai, it wasn’t like we moved from a mansion to another mansion. It wasn’t really comfortable in Mumbai. But I am glad these lessons happened. From travelling everywhere in a Mercedes to taking the local train was an abrupt changeover, and I realised how we can learn from both these journeys,” she said.

The divorce of Kamal Haasan and Sarika, finalised in 2004, marked a pivotal moment for Shruti and her younger sister, Akshara. Raised by Sarika in Mumbai post-separation, Shruti candidly admitted that her privileged upbringing initially fostered a sense of entitlement. However, the challenges following the split reshaped her attitude. “I think there was a fear inside me, and even though I was projecting confidence, I was shaken to my core for many years,” she explained, adding that embracing humility brought her genuine confidence.

Shruti’s reflections highlight her journey from a sheltered childhood to embracing financial and personal independence. The actress, known for films like Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire and her upcoming role in Coolie alongside Rajinikanth, credits these experiences for grounding her. Her move to Mumbai, a stark contrast to her earlier life in Chennai, taught her to adapt and find value in simplicity.

Speaking of the professional front, Shruti was last seen in Salaar.
