Shruti Haasan, daughter of legendary actor Kamal Haasan, has carved her own niche in the film industry with her talent and strong screen presence. From Kollywood to Tollywood and even Bollywood, she has worked alongside top stars, proving her versatility as an actress. Her recent performance in Salaar was well-received, further cementing her place in the industry.
Known for her candid and fearless opinions, Shruti Haasan has largely stayed away from controversies but never shies away from speaking her mind. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, she sparked a thought-provoking discussion by questioning the very need for the celebration.
In an exclusive interview with Sakshi, she shared:
“Why celebrate Women’s Day when there’s no ‘Men’s Day’? Are these special days just a reminder that women are still behind? Also, why do people label certain films as ‘women-oriented’ but never call others ‘male-oriented’? This kind of inequality needs to end. The day Women’s Day becomes unnecessary will be the day we achieve true gender equality.”
Her bold statement has struck a chord with many, reinforcing her reputation as not just an actress but also an independent thinker unafraid to challenge societal norms.
