Shruti Haasan opened up about her relationship with her father, Kamal Haasan, revealing that she never seeks his validation.
Shruti discussed her approach to professional life during an appearance on the show Double Date, hosted by Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi. According to Bollywood Hungama, she said she does not rely on approval from anyone, including her father, and decided to establish her own identity.
Shruti shared a personal example on the program. She said that validation is not something she depends on from anyone, and that her father is a regular Indian guy who simply does not give praise in that manner.
Neha questioned whether Kamal’s reaction stemmed from his extensive life experiences or if his behavior was specific to his daughter.
The actor also addressed her financial journey, saying that she has supported herself completely since leaving home.
Shruti said she is very thankful the last thing her dad paid for was her music education in America because it was something she could not afford at the age of 19.
Shruti said her father told her education would be covered even if she wanted to study until she was 50 years old, but said everything else would be her problem because it is her life. He made it clear that if she lived out of his house, she would pay the bills and live her life, and literally the day she stepped out, she did not look back.
