The thought of marriage makes me nervous at this point: Shruti
The Times of India Hyderabad|May 26, 2022
I UNDERSTAND THAT MUMBAI FEELS LIKE THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE TO SO MANY PEOPLE, BUT IT ISN’T THE CENTRE OF SOME PEOPLE’S UNIVERSE. I FEEL NOBODY SHOULD FEEL APOLOGETIC ABOUT WHERE THEY CHOOSE TO SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME WORKING

The thought of marriage makes me nervous at this point: Shruti

In 2018, she took a sabbatical for two years and moved to London. Cut to two years later, Shruti Haasan came back to India, fully recharged and ready to dive into work again. From making her debut in the OTT space to bagging interesting projects down South, the actress has been on a roll. In a candid conversation, she opens up about this new professional journey that she has embarked on, the new chapter in her personal life and why the thought of marriage makes her nervous. Read on…

In 2020, you returned to India after spending two years in London to start a new chapter here. How has it been so far?

It is going really well this time around. I feel rejuvenated and energized to take up new challenges. I must say 2022 is looking quite promising. It began with the release of my web show, for which I got immense love and appreciation. With that, I do look forward to taking up more Hindi projects. I have a few Telugu projects, including Salaar with Prabhas and untitled films with Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna. I am also glad about the kind of reception South Indian films are getting today.

While you have an exciting line-up of projects down South, what’s happening on the Bollywood front? In one of your recent interviews, you had said that Hindi filmmakers feel that you belong more to the south film industry.
