When Shruti Haasan felt bad about taking dad Kamal Haasan for granted; ‘He was offended’

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in understanding the nuances of celebrity dynamics, I must say that Shruti Haasan‘s anecdotes about her childhood with Kamal Haasan are both enlightening and relatable. It is fascinating to see how even a legendary figure like Kamal Haasan can be perceived as ordinary by his children at times.

Without doubt, Kamal Haasan is recognized as one of the greatest actors ever. Yet, beyond the limelight, he cherishes his role as a loving dad to his daughters, Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan. In an earlier conversation, Shruti shared an instance where she inadvertently upset her father with a startling statement, a memory she later regretted.

In a past discussion on Mandira Bedi’s The Love Laugh Live Show: Season 3, Shruti recalled a story from her childhood where she directly expressed to her dad that she wanted to be connected to someone more renowned than him instead.

Referring to Shruti’s earlier statement, the actress from Krack explained, “When I was nine years old, I took him for granted. I had grown tired of the ‘Is your dad Kamal Haasan?’ question. I thought it would be amazing if we were related to someone like Einstein instead.”

Initially, Shruti didn’t fully grasp her father Kamal Haasan’s celebrity status, and her words ended up hurting and offending him. Looking back on the incident, the actress shared how he reacted, saying, “However, he was deeply offended, and he told me, ‘Shruti, I am indeed quite famous. Many people admire me.’ To which I replied, ‘Yes, but you understand what I meant.’ He responded, ‘I’m afraid I don’t.'”

Additionally, throughout their chat, Shruti characterized her parents, Kamal Haasan and Sarika, as unconventional individuals, mentioning that she too has adopted this rebellious spirit.

Reflecting on her words, I delve deeper into one of my youthful tales, showcasing my rebellious spirit. I shared an instance where I cleverly found a way to dodge my mandatory Bharatnatyam lessons, a strict requirement my father always emphasized.

Reflecting on her past, Shruti recalled, “One girl was expelled from class for wearing a dress, so I decided to wear one the following day. I discovered my own rule-bending trick. To me, it wasn’t about rebellion; it was a child’s way of finding a clever workaround.”

In her professional life, Shruti Haassan will soon appear in several movies such as Dacoit: A Love Story, Coolie, Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam, and Chennai Story. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan is set to join the cast of Indian 3 and Thug Life.
