As a child of Kamal Haasan and Sarika, I can attest to the complexities that come with growing up in a family that has experienced separation. While it was undeniably painful, I believe it taught me valuable lessons about resilience, understanding, and the importance of happiness.

Kamal Haasan and Sarika got married in 1988, deeply in love. But they decided to part ways in 2002 and were officially divorced by 2004. In an exclusive interview with TopMob, Shruti Haasan discussed the effects of her parents’ separation on her life.

The actress expressed, “It’s painful. Both children and parents experience this sensation. This sadness is not exclusive to households where parents have divorced or separated; it’s common in many homes today. It’s not just about the emotional toll that follows a divorce or separation. In some households, for the sake of societal norms, parents may remain together, and yet, there can be more hidden pain in those homes because it goes unacknowledged.

Shruti Haasan expressed that the essence for her was witnessing her parents being content and harmonious as a pair. She stated, “To me, what truly stands out is seeing them happy and united, they were the most stunning couple I’ve ever encountered. They spent every day collaborating. My mother handled costumes, while our entire family participated in movies.

Speaking further, Shruti Haasan shared that her family was deeply involved in the movie business, creating a sense of familiarity and comfort reminiscent of a second home. She explained, “In the costume department, my sister was stationed in the AD department, and we all collaborated as a film-making family. However, when circumstances didn’t align, they displayed maturity by discussing their concerns and ultimately deciding to part ways. Despite this, they always strived to do their best.

Shruti Haasan ended by expressing her satisfaction with the choice her parents made. She added that as individuals, they are all strong, beautiful, and gifted. She is glad they remain her parents, and if they are content on their own, it’s beneficial for us all. This was her statement.

In terms of her career, the actress has plans to appear in the films “Salaar” with Prabhas and “Coolie” alongside Rajinikanth.
