Today, 13 years ago, we first learned about shruti Haasan's acting talent with the 2009 action thriller Luck. The Vakeel Sahab actress posted a poignant message to instagram to celebrate her more than ten years in the entertainment business. She even released a video in which she discussed her experiences in the film industry.
"Magical," she commented on the photo-sharing app. 13 years - cinema has grown into my greatest source of joy and has given me the life I'm so appreciative for. Over the years, I've learned a lot about how to weather success and failure, how to waltz with confidence and doubt, and most of all, how to appreciate the honour of telling stories and giving souls to women I've never met before. I never actually thought I'd do more than a movie, even though I wasn't born to do this. I will always be grateful for the love and support I receive, and I will never ever take it for granted.
I want to thank you for everything and promise to continue to love this gift of time and creativity while giving you more. P.S. Weirdos just have to keep being weirdos because, apparently, it pays off after a while. Thank you, thank you for these 13 years." A few days later, shruti haasan revealed the rationale for why she avoided discussing her personal life in conversation. I don't conceal, but I find that when I speak about it, the first thing people ask is, "Shaadi kab hai? When will you get hitched? Second question: "What does your dad think, or what kind of person is this?" You simply think, "Wow, that was fun until all of that came in." I keep quiet about it because of this."
